And life
began for man after the making of this great universe with the galaxies in it,
a gigantic and a ginormous edifice that has the heavens as a roof over it. And everything was
beautiful.
I lived as a Prince in a paradise palace called the Eden garden, having the birds of the
air, the fishes of the sea and all other created beasts of the Earth at my beck
and call. I had all kinds of food and fruits for my choice, and above all, I
had the Almighty creator as not just a Father but as a Friend.
I knew no pain, no tears, nor
suffering. Everything and everywhere was like heaven itself until the enemy
came by with a lie that seemed right, and I just didn’t fight.
Going against the will of my Father
out of my own will that He gave me. I fell, knowing that one day I’d have to
pay the bill.
It felt so bad that I had to walk
away sad. I couldn’t stand before His presence because what I’ve done was not
of essence; it was nonsense.
Suffering became my life partner as
well as my three course meal. I wallowed in shame as pain became my best
friend. I could see the sun so bright but it looked so blind to me. Nothing
seemed to be working out right. Even my dominionism packed up and said goodbye.
Life became meaninglessly miserable as I was unable to attain a height of honor
and glory again.
But then, in the midst of the
turbulence and in my pestilence, here comes the Son of God who is Love, full of
grace and having mercy in His heart stepping into this horrible, unclean and
cruel world as a man, coming to judge sin and not sinners. In other words He
came to judge lie and not liars, murder not murderers, adultery not adulterers,
fornication not fornicators, theft and not thieves, failure not failures, and
so many others-as much as you can think of.
And as He grew, He walked straight
down to Golgotha in shame, pain and in miserable fame. He knew no joy, no peace
and no happiness, but for the sake of the joy and glory that was set before Him,
He endured the Cross that man; you and I can be redeemed and saved from the
shackles and bondage of sin.
And so the nails struggled their way into His wrists
freely on the Cross, He was wounded, pierced and mocked as His robe was cast as lot by the Roman soldiers. Even at His death point He prayed for His
persecutors, and His blood still saved a soul as He took one of the thieves to
paradise. This takes me back to a book of the Bible, in the pages of Isaiah 53:5, “But He
[was] wounded for our
transgressions, [He was] bruised for our iniquities; The
chastisement for our peace [was] upon
Him, And by His stripes we are healed.” (NKJV).
And at last, He gave up His own
life by Himself and the world felt the impact of His death by an Earthquake.
But in three days time, He took up His life again in glory and in splendor.
Death could not hold Him down, the grave could not accommodate and detain Him and hell
could not condemn and consume Him but it burned away all our shame and reproach
that CHRIST took to the Cross.
And now we are saved, we have
been redeemed! We can boldly shout Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! To GOD be the
glory……Man has been REDEEMED!!!
Oh Lord! May You be glorified,
may Your people be edified, and may the devil be terrified ‘cause man has been
revived. AMEN! RHORK4KHRYST Writings
