Characteristic of Love:
LOVE THAT REFUSES TO SHARE KILLS IT'S OWN POWER TO LOVE.
LOVE THAT REFUSES TO SHARE KILLS IT'S OWN POWER TO LOVE.
Historical background of Christmas is age old propercies,(1)virgin would conceive (Is7:14), (2) redeemer would be born of tribe of Judah(Gen 49:10)(3) of the house of David(Ezechiel 33:23),(4)at time which have been fore told by Daniel(9:25-26) some 500 years before(5)that His birth place would be Bethlehem(Mich5:2).
Today the last sunday of advent of cycle 3, church invited us to understand, love-for the love God-always you share your Joy with others- other words you start charity. Without Charity-No love- you abandoned God-depriving your Happiness!
To days reading!
Prophet micah(mi5:1-4) says"U bethlehem..clans..born..rule over..distant past..Lord..abondon them."
Hebrew says(Heb 10:5-10)"U..no sacrifice..body..no pleasure..sacrifice for sin..obey U'r Will..U didn't..law..no pleasure..replace..offering His body..for all.."
Lk(1:39-45) says"mary..went..into Zechariah..greeted Elizabeth..child leap..loud cry..Of all women you are most blessed and blessed is the fruit of thy womb..mother of my lord..child..lept..Joy..
Fulfilled.
Reminds us:
Your life is having 2 phases
(A)Childhood-follow parents
(B)adulthood-follow God's will
And without charity U abandoned God.
God did not create Baby Adam or baby Eve, but HE send His son, as baby Jesus. Why?
Adam and Eve has being created as matured persons with full freedom, always freedom is subject to law. God intention of creation is subject to (1) not to eat from the forbidden tree and then (2) follow His Will.
Adam and Eve, failed from 1st one itself. Then God introduced death and childhood, to humans. So human life,after our original parents,consist of 2 phases(a) Childhood (b) adulthood.
When you were born, you cannot decide your name neither your food. Your parents will decide on those things. It implies, that during your childhood, you have to obey to your parents and parents responsibility is to train, you, how to accommodate God's will in your life, when you become adult. That is why, catholics, baptize,their newly born babies, and train them to receive Holy Eucharist, making confessions, so they can continue, the same, while adulthood, to receive God's will. When they don't do it, that itself is a Sin!.
God, son- Jesus clearly showed us these 2 phases: childhood and adulthood. Though Jesus is God, HE underwent all rituals from holy family and was obedient to them, just to show the eternal reasons, as how to manage childhood.(Even name of Jesus, was given to mary by an angel)
Then only,Holy spirit form the church and HE changed, certain concepts immediately, forming the church. Church became universal+no circumscion+no restriction to eat pork.
Holy Mary witness all these changes. She is the only human being, who witness and practice,God will,without any hesitation or rioting to refuse to undergo change,going from Father to Son and to Holy spirit. Not only that she showed the characteristics of love, 30 years before,to John the baptist, when you receive Christ, you will share that Joy with others!
SHE SHOWED LOVE AND CHARITY GO IN HAND IN HAND, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD. SHE NTERCEDED WITH GOD, TO SHOW THIS BEHEVIOR MUCH BEFORE,(30 years),JESUS. NOW SHE IS THE MEDIATOR FOR HUMANS WITH GOD. EVEN NOW, MARY, AS THE QUEEN OF HEAVEN, INTERCEDE,ON BEHALF, OF US, WITH GOD.
When we summaries the 4 sundays of advent period, church invited us to understand what is christianity, back ground, why Jesus came to this world, how Holy Mary manages changes, from one paradigm to another. When we don't know actual stories, we will following catholism for our own convenience and deprived happiness, as promised by God.
When you are avail of all information & practice the same,2nd coming of Christ is already with you & ready to receive physical birth of Christ.
