Reflection - 78

 For God so; loved the world that he gave his only son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life.                           [John 3: 16]

Couple of days ago, I read a book. Which is shrunk me lot. So I would like to share it as a refection before you all.

     

Once up on a time some young sages were loudly saying master … master… please come fast. Suddenly the master came beside them. One of the sages said; Master you have a letter from the emperor Constantan’s palace. This says that you are selected as an abbot. But they never saw any change on the master’s face. After some time the master said to them, I can’t see any specialty in an emperor writing a letter to his one of his people. Here is the more influential and effective letter which is written with the love by God the father to His favorable people. Not merely He send His beloved son to convey the message of the letter to them. It is really wonderful.

“For God so; loved the world that he gave his only son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life. “                           [John 3: 16]

     

Here we can see the greatness of the word of God. Lets meditate on it, do we read Bible daily? Externally we just feel that it is a simple activity and not that necessary in my life. So we spent more time to read facebook messages, chatting, and so forth. Here is the turning point of starting problems and we become a man of world. Those worldly things can’t lead us to eternal life and there bliss. For example, when holy bible reading here how do we listen? We may or may not be distracted by some other things. We should careful about it.

      

Day after tomorrow we are going to enter into the month of December. As we know, twenty five days before the X’ mas we have the preparation for the birth of Jesus. Externally we prepare by making cribs, stars, conveying X’mas greetings to each other, and so on. Similarly how can we have an internal preparation for the coming of X’mas? We can have the internal preparations like fasting, extra prayers, sacrifices for the birthday gift of child Jesus. In this meditation let us meditate up on it, how is my mentality towards listening and reading the word of God? And also meditate, how can we give a birthday gift to child Jesus through the internal preparation?
