GOD LOVED THE WORLD SO MUCH…..

The Lord says, “I am the vine and you are the branches.  Whoever remains in Me and I in Him will bear much fruit, for you can do nothing without Me.” (John 15:15)

After their mission we can see that seventy two of them came back, safely, in great joy shouting, “Lord, even demons obeyed us when we gave them a command in your Name!”  Lord Jesus witnessed their mission saying, “I saw satan fall like lightning from heaven.” 

Again Lord Jesus emphasized, “I have given you the authority so that you can walk on snakes and scorpions and overcome all the power of the enemy and nothing will hurt you.” 

A silent advice speaks to us.  Do not be proud or over-boastful, it is His Name, Power and Authority that performs the transformation in the people for the glory of God, we are mere workers.  The Master commands that we are witnesses. 

The more God works through you be more humbly submissive at His strong feet.  When He trims you accept and bear its pain, looking at the Master who is on the Holy Cross.  You will regain your strength since He wants you to grow as well as simply walk in the path of Your Master. 

He continued saying, “Don’t bother about what happened to your enemy.  Rejoice because there are greater things happened in you all.  Your name is written in the Living Book by the Father Almighty.  Exalt Him and enjoy for the Father is pleased with your mission.”

Dear readers of KLWC, I should not forget to mention one of the mysteries of our Lord’s mission which is a lesson to all of us.  They all went empty handed.  Did they complain to the Lord about being unwelcomed in homes, what happened to all of them, whether they were given food, water or shelter, where they went, what kind of reception they received, how long it took, the attitude of people. 

Nothing mattered

We are sure that, the disciples behaved as the Master had instructed them.  They went all over and exercised what they learned in their school.  More freely because the Master was not physically present.  The curtains were not put down. 

At that Lord Jesus was filled with joy by the Holy Spirit and said to the Father, “Lord of Heaven and earth! I thank you! Because you have shown to the unlearned what you have hidden from the wise and learned.  Yes Father, this was how you wanted it to happen.

After offering bouquets of gratitude from His joy-filled meek heart, turning to the disciples, He spoke to them in private!

“How fortunate you are to see the things you see.”

Filled with so much love, He continued, “I will tell you that many prophets and kings wanted to see but they could not; and to hear what you hear but they did not.”

Lord Jesus remembered all those ancestors who suffered for Salvation.

Yes dear ones, Lord Jesus rejoiced in all fullness.

“There were so many people coming and going that Jesus and His disciples didn’t even have the time to eat. So He said to them, “Let us go off by ourselves to some place where we will be alone and you can rest a while.” (Mark 6:31)

The crowds realizing that He was going, began to follow Jesus. Moved by the requests and demand of the people, Jesus stayed with the crowd, while He sent his disciples to rest.

In our busy schedule, running to capture the crowd of this world, let us not forget the Lord’s word of warning: “I am the vine and you are the branches.  Whoever remains in Me and I in Him will bear much fruit, for you can do nothing without Me.” (John 15:15)
