There are millions to billion ways to tempt a person to sin, hard to resist and finally yield to temptation.
We were blessed and came with a fine,healthy body yet for the "fun" we damage our body. Sometimes, we hurt not only ourselves but also hurting those concern or around us.
But is it really our fault? If sin were not deceitful, it wouldn't seem delightful to us.
People like us that had already sin many times, are like a rich man's prodigal son. A son that spend most of his own money on "fun" he wanted, running a life and do whatever he desired. Resulting himself starved with pig's meal.
How are we, a unworthy and weak minded going to be forgiven by our Father in Heaven. No worry, He is a merciful and kind God that will receive you back and welcomed you with his warm arm, even start a FEAST with you as long as you repent your way.
But what make this statement true? Think again. God send forth His son, Jesus to earth He created wasn't just to observe or give us a clearer teaching but also to bear the burden of our guilt, sin, sorrow, worries all together with himself.
We celebrate Christmas is to remember a Person that born in this night many years ago. To appreciate efforts He made and Love that He gave.
We went through feeling where we were ignored, unappreciated, mistreated, cold shouldered and even rejected. It feel terrible wasn't it? We treated them nice, accepted them and we should deserve more right but we only been hurt by just few of them.
Imagine with your mind, Jesus agreed to travel a long way from His place, heaven to earth. Accepted our humanity, born in a weak human flesh and appearance that do not attract anything to him. A man of sorrow, acquainted with bitterest grief. We turn our back on him and looked other way instead of Him. He was despised and rejected yet we do not care.
It was our weaknesses He carried, our sorrow that weighed Him down. Wounded and crushed for our sins. Forsaken so we could be forgiven, Condemned so we could be accepted. He does not complain but continue to support us. Even until the day He was stretched and die on the Cross, His journey to save us did not end there. For His name, Immanuel "God with us" He will always be with us like wind that we can feel but not see. Light and warmth in the darkness.
He come to us, bringing Hope. Christmas is just one day in a year but we remember Him everyday in remembrance of what He had done for us.
Luke 15: 11-24
Isaiah 53
Galatians 4:1-7
