The contemplation of the week: Psalm 2: 1-12

Text: Romans 8: 18-25

The title of the Word: God’s will to bring men to be born in the world

         Nowadays, it  has become a difficult time to look for someone seeking God’s grace as in the days of old Noah. We  see most people their mind and  imagination looking for grace from the world in search of things that will perish. They are so  busy only for  eating, drinking, marrying   like the perishing  beasts, and they  do not even think that they might someday die: they are going to death without knowing where they are going to.

          God is the One  that  reveals himself to anyone who wants to find Him in his heart. God spoke through Jeremiah the prophet: “ And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.” (Jeremiah 29:13)

          Wise man asks various question upon hearing  the word of God; When the ancient Adam and Eve ate the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil tempted by the serpent, why God not killed them all to recreate man again, even the serpent? If  he had done this,  this world might  have been a good place to live as a kingdom of heaven. Why did not God do it? Why should God lead Jacob’s sons for 400 years in Egypt and in Babylon for 70 years to discipline them  as slaves  in order to make a nation of Israel? Thereafter giving them the law that they couldn’t observe by themselves, and  judged them severely for the last 1500 years, and putting  them in the Great Tribulation  sooner or later, to bring the little remaining into his kingdom?

        Had God have killed Adam, Eve, and the Devil who sinned at that time, and made a new man, would he not have had to send his only begotten Son through the seed of the woman, as the seed of Abraham? Why did God save the devil and make all the people living in the world like hell having all men be born in Adam with sin and death and curses? And so on.

            In addition,  wise person cannot help but question his Creator in his mind about why he was born into the world not only spending all his mind on eating and living. “I am going to die someday, why am I born to this world?

              There is a young Jewish man who was wrestling with such a question in his heart. And he finally found his Messiah, Yeshua, Jesus.  The story of a Jewish young man (see the story inserted in the bulletin) is a precious testimony that can awaken everyone’s sleeping spirit. He is a Jew of an ordinary family. As he grew up, he grew up listening to the fact that Israel is  a nation chosen by God. He also heard that their Messiah will come. But when he asked the Jews about their Messiah, no one had ever known and answered of the Messiah. He then made a journey with backpacks to meet someone who knows about Messiah. He  met with a Christian woman at the quarters where he stayed for a while. He then asked how the traditional Jews could kill their prime Lavin in the name of God?  He  said that this horrible thing never had happened and he  was scared. At this moment,  the Holy Spirit gave her wisdom, and said to him,  Long  time ago the Jews murdered the great leader of Israel whose name was Yeshua.  Then the moment upon hearing the gospel of Christ who resurrected from the dead,  the Holy Spirit came upon to  the young man and made him realize that only he could solve his problem through Yeshua.  At this time, he confessed. “If Yeshua has been raised from the dead, maybe I too can be resurrected.”

            Yeah! ! Because he sought his Messiah Yeshua wholeheartedly, he was made to know Him through one Christian. I also made another wonderful confession about what he saw the Messiah. He said, “There was no voice from heaven, he recalls , but he realized right thenand there that he needed to start telling his people about it.”   “

              That is right! Everyone who met with the Lord Jesus Christ to believe he shall raise his mortal body to life will soon realize that he must proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ.. Apostle Paul testified to the saints in Rome about this: ” But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. “(Romans 8:11)

             All the creatures that have not sinned  teach the reason why God has been bringing men to be born in the world full of sin and death and curses.  :” For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. “(Romans 8: 19-21).

            All the creatures that cannot speak have realized why God still allows the devil to rule the world,  and still God  is allowing people to be born into this sinful world. God puts the Antichrist that is the devil as the tree of good and evil,  and the Christ that is the tree of life; and God wants to be glorified  before all men that  not follow the devil, but follow  the Lord Jesus Christ that is the tree of life.  He also wants to fill them in heaven and earth to  receive glory forever. All the creatures who know this fact are now  in bondage of corruption because of the sin of man, but they too will come to the glorious liberty of the sons of God when God’s will is fulfilled in heaven and earth in the future All the creatures are still enduring for the day of Christ.

          Apostle Paul, who realized that these creations have been in slaves of corruption knowing  the will of God,  and exhorted the Romans in their afflictions: “ For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us….. For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body. For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.“(Romans 8:18, 22-25).

            If we realize the will of God, we will also realize that everyone is born fair. Like Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, all who are born into this world are  conceived and brought into the world after one to hundreds of millions of competition. And as long as the old Adam and Eve have the free will that God has given them, and if they hear the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ of the tree of life and trust in Him and bring them up with all their heart, they will receive eternal life through the Holy Spirit in the tree of life, to be a child of God. And from that moment on, the purpose of living in this world is to live like the Jewish young man with a sense of mission to preach the gospel of this life tree, the Lord Jesus Christ. Those who receive this blessing live in a hope of meeting Christ, the sun of righteousness, which appears immediately after the fog disappears, without looking at the fog-like world for a short time.

          Therefore, even the children of God also need to die, but not to disappear. And when he comes again, they shall raised up putting on the glorified body to glorify God together with all creation of the great will of God. And they shall also glorify the Father God as the helping spouse of Christ that will fill all in all in heaven and earth.  Amen! Hallelujah
