Voyage from Void to Hope


People are excited about things going on in their lives….
You can even be super excited. But nothing excites me more than the Cross of Jesus.
There is nothing truly exciting in this world. In the midst of this serenity nothing is truly calm. Perceptiveness has betrayed us, in acuteness of the Good News it has marketed us garnished gloom, despair, sorrow and vanity. At the end all we endorse is a big void. These bundles are punishments, broken relationships and families. Dreams shattered and lives devastated, and at times they ended sadly before their time.
A wise king of old named Solomon, with the wisdom God gave him, had discerned this great void and vacuum. After achieving all that one could desire or dream of here on earth, He Said, I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind.”
What an agony. Let us just ask ourselves if it is worth it or are we just catching the wind or boxing in the air. Is it really good news or just another mirage? (An optical phenomenon in which light rays are bent to produce a displaced image of distant objects)
The Dead Sea displaces a true picture of our world. I am tempted to call the Dead Seas the Selfish Sea. It has a unique quality in that it will push out anything and everything onto the shore. No fish or any kind of living thing can live there. So is called the Dead Sea. No life! There is no marine life in the Dead Sea. The high mineral and salt content of the water make it impossible for fish or plants to live.
This world is just like Dead Sea. Its ceramic beauty is lucrative, adorable but biological and spiritually, it is dead. Materialism, lust and human greed have refused to know any limit. While it may promise fulfillment and abundance, the closer we go to it we find a void. Ask any achiever of the world what he has in his clasp. I will not ever dare to peep inside the life of anyone such, for I know it will be a horror picture of loneliness and scares.
A good teacher once said, “For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will save it."
In quiets of life generations have perished and lost the meaning and substance of life.
Don’t force me to quote from Alexander to Hitler, for you know them all and how their desires to obtain all ended in nothing.
 The only good news I can think of, is that which stands true since 2000 years ago, that the Son of God died for your sins and brought peace between God and man; from going to hell to now citizens of heaven... Hallelujah.
The only hope that which is anchor to my soul is the great promise Jesus Himself gave us.
“In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.”  John 14:2-3
My prayer for you is that if you are still reading this, may God may give you grace to understand His love for you. May He reveal Himself to you.
 “Therefore I tell you that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, "Jesus be cursed," and no one can say, "Jesus is Lord," except by the Holy Spirit.”  1 Corinthians 12:3
 “Jesus replied, "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by man, but by my Father in heaven.” Matthew 16:17

 This is how Solomon the Wise king concludes...
Meany call it Life's Final Exam.

The Conclusion of the Matter

 "Not only was the Teacher wise, but also he imparted knowledge to the people. He pondered and searched out and set in order many proverbs. The Teacher searched to find just the right words, and what he wrote was upright and true. The words of the wise are like goads, their collected sayings like firmly embedded nails—given by one Shepherd. Be warned, my son, of anything in addition to them. Of making many books there is no end, and much study wearies the body. Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole [duty] of man. For God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil." Ecclesiastes 12:9-14


 God bless…… Jesus is Coming Amen
