“I AM HUMAN BECAUSE OF HIM”
When we were young, our concerns are all about passing the exam, getting our own cellphones, playing and roaming around without any restraint. However, as we get older, we spontaneously get to know what reality is and we begin to ask what is the purpose of life? What is human? And how to be a human?
I am born Christian and I believe that Jesus is 100% God. Many people criticize Him but for me no doubt. But before I came up with this conclusion, I myself was struggling first. I always sing Lord’s song without understanding it. And even my favorite verse or lyrics of the song which is “Jesus is the way, the truth and the life” is meaningless for me.
Then, there are intances in my life that helped me realize its meaning. I was fond of idolizing someone who has a great work but when I see something wrong, I easily get distracted. I, then, neglect that person and totally ignore him/her. You cannot idolized someone except God. God will not dissapoint you. Moreover, I obeserve that today, many people are lost and they do not even understand theirselves and end up with suicide. Furthermore, many people are thrown to addiction, pornography and other human anomalies.
Now, reflecting to these experiences of mine, it made me realize one thing, JESUS IS THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE. Because if we will be given a chance to ask Jesus how He lives,surely He will tell us this, “To live is to endure challenges; have faith in God; and have the strong will to resist tempation”. If Jesus was not born we will not know how to live as human and we will not understand why we exist. Jesus Christ is the perfect paradigm of how to live as a human. That to live is to have faith in God; that to live is to have strong will to resist temptation; that to live is to live simply; that to live is to be contended of what you have; that to live is to be humble; that to live is to love; that to live is to pray for others; and that to live is to help who is in need. This should be how we live as human. So, let us put JESUS in your heart.
Why are we then keeping on asking what life is? When infact the answer has already been given, but we keep on ignoring it. This question has already been answered in the past but we never realized how imporant it is to our lives. If we observe our world today, Jesus is never present because crime is everywhere, EGO is so strong and GREEDINESS could not be stopped. The most difficult thing to do is to BE GOOD, and the most difficult task to do is to FOLLOW GOD’S INSTRUCTION. His words are pleasing to our ears but hard to put in action.
