Crucification

If you are dissapointed that someone did something they should not or you do not expect them to do... let me assure you humans are fickle minded. This is the reminder from today's quiet time .

 On Palm Sunday:

 9 The crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted,
   "Hosanna to the Son of David!"  "Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!"   "Hosanna in the highest!"

 9 前 行 後 隨 的 眾 人 喊 著 說 : 和 散 那 ( 原 有 求 救 的 意 思 , 在 此 是 稱 頌 的 話 ) 歸 於 大 衛 的 子 孫 ! 奉 主 名 來 的 是 應 當 稱 頌 的 ! 高 高 在 上 和 散 那 !

 9 Das Volk aber, das
vorging und nachfolgte, schrie und sprach: Hosianna dem Sohn Davids!
Gelobt sei, der da kommt in dem Namen des HERRN! Hosianna in der Höhe!

 

Four days later:

 23 "Why? What crime has he committed?" asked Pilate. But they shouted all the louder, "Crucify him!"

 23 巡 撫 說 : 為 甚 麼 呢 ? 他 作 了 甚 麼 惡 事 呢 ? 他 們 便 極 力 的 喊 著 說 : 把 他 釘 十 字 架 !

 23 Der Landpfleger sagte: Was hat er denn Übles getan? Sie schrieen aber noch mehr und sprachen: Laß ihn kreuzigen!

 ** Bible verse from the book of Matthew.

One good way to get over with hurt and dissapointment is to realise that we make mistakes, it is ok to make mistakes, God forgave us and therefore we should learn to forgive. Sometimes the person that we have most difficulty forging is ourself. I had this problem last weekend, it took me about four days to get back into my normal shape and stop condemning myself. The sermon on Sunday and the book bondage breaker reminded me of my stand in Christ. I am certainly glad to know who am I in Christ. Do you know who you are in Christ? If you have not then discover it, know that Christ came to die on the cross for you and I.
