THEY ALL FORSOOK JESUS AND FLED!
THEY ALL FORSOOK JESUS AND FLED!
In the Beginning of the New Testament Covenant, we read about how
fascinating those days were, leading to the Birth of Baby Jesus in the manger.
The Glorious Visit by the Angelic
Choristers singing for the sleeping shepherds: announcing the Arrival of the
One heralded some hundreds of years before!
Hello, this ain't no Christmas Story as we're misled to believe by
false teachers connecting the Birth of Christ to a Pagan Holiday. There was no
Santa Claus from the North Pole!
When God was a Baby in Bethlehem of
Judea, the World was at Peace and remained calm with no wars fought across the
Continents! When God was a Baby, the World remained calm while Baby Jesus fell
asleep between the warm breasts of His Mother, Mary.
I don't know what I'm talking about but the Spirit witnesses with
my spirit and whispers: it is true! When God was a Baby and fell asleep for the
first time in the Earth, the World of Adam: He created by the Power of His Word:
what did He dream about?
Then Prophet Simeon took Baby Jesus
up in his arms, and blessed God, and said, Lord, now lettest thou thy Servant
depart in Peace, according to Thy Word: For mine eyes have seen Thy Salvation,
Which Thou hast Prepared before the face of all people; Light to lighten the
Gentiles, and the Glory of Thy People Israel.
By the age of twelve, the God-Teen began to show some signs of the reasons
why He became flesh and lived among sinners who did not fear God. The Teenager
began to engage with the Teachers of the Law and argued His case about the
Messiah whom He was!
How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth
with the Holy Ghost and with Power: who went about doing good and healing all
that were oppressed of the Devil; for God was with Him.
And we are witnesses of all things which He did both in the land of
the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree: Him God raised
up the third day and shewed Him openly.
In just seventy-one words Dr. Luke,
the Apostle; summed up the whole life of Christ: I believe we all agree with
these words! Dying on the Cross was Jesus's reason for Him to become flesh in
order to enter the Holy of Holies once and for all: and offer His Precious
Blood for our Salvation.
And they all forsook Him and fled. And there followed Him a certain
young man, having a linen cloth cast about his naked body; and the young men
laid hold on Him: And he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked.
The Eleven all scattered and ran for
their lives even though nobody was chasing them. They felt guilty and unsafe by
their association with Christ, the Son of God!
Jesus had told them earlier on, that they will all forsake Him when
the Hour had come: Peter vouched he'd never forsake Him. Before the cock crow,
you'd have denied me thrice, Jesus told him!
Amidst all the tragedy of Judas
betraying his Master for thirty pieces of silver: there was a silver lining in
the darkest night. A certain young man followed Jesus after He was seized by
the Roman soldiers. The young lad covered Jesus with his fine linen and fled
naked! Very mystic and amazing if you asked me what this meant: I don't know!
Perhaps this signified how Jesus was about to be crucified on the
Cross, all naked. God hung in naked shame for our Redemption and
how dare we spit at His Sacrificial Lamb? But He was wounded for our
transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our Peace
was upon Him; and with His stripes we are healed.
Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthan! My God,
my God, why hast thou forsaken me? Cried Jesus, the Christ; as He took His
final breath and as God in the flesh: only to return in three days as the
Saviour of the World!
Truly this Man was the Son of God, cried the Centurion standing at
the Foot of the Cross when he heard Jesus prayed: Unto Thy hands Father, I
commit my Spirit. This man was Born Again right on the spot!
For God so loved the World! For God
so loved the World! Just where I'd be today in this cursed World without God's
Love?
This is the Prayer for My Soul. Lord, I’m just a fallible man and
human as everybody else in this World of miseries. Sometimes, I sin with my tongue
and sometimes, I return hate for hate when provoked, once in a while.
Sometimes, Lord, the meditation of my
mind isn’t clean and acceptable before Thy sight. Keep and hide me under Thy
Eternal Wings! This is my Prayer Lord! Under Thy Shadow, I remain Forever…
