WE KILLED HIM!


Wow, I couldn't resist my urge to start writing to you after my official 10 days break. How have you been? Did you miss me as much as I did? I was praying that the days should pass swiftly so I can come back to  you. Nice to meet you in good health πŸ™πŸ»πŸ™πŸ»πŸ™πŸ»πŸ™πŸ».

I am scared by the topic I'm writing to you this morning. Who have we killed? Are we killers? Did I travel to bring back bad news? God forbid! 😳😳 But, who did we kill? Read on.

Every religion emphasises the dignity and sacredness of human life. But in Christianity,  this teaching flows from the Scriptures. For instance, in  Genesis 9,1-13, there is an outright emphasis on this dignity and sacredness of human life.

Yahweh emphasised in verse 6, " he who sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed,  for in the image of God was man created." This simply means that God shall demand an account of every man's life from his fellowman. And he who shed man's blood, shall have his blood shed by man, for in the image of God, man was made.

Let's go back to our topic, "we killed him". Who? Let me ask you, can man shed God's blood?😳😳. What happens when man puts God to death? Many years ago, Jesus prophesied that He will be put to death by manπŸ™Š.

Well, my dear friend(s), by our sins, we have shedded God's blood thereby putting Him to death. We have all killed him😑
Yet strangely enough, it was by the shedding of the blood of Jesus that we are saved.

How loving God is to us. Indeed, He is awesome. Even when we do not merit His love, He gave it to us unconditionallyπŸ’ƒπŸΌπŸ’ƒπŸΌπŸ’ƒπŸΌ.

Dear friend(s), the good news of God's unconditional and sacrificial love for man, even to the point of shedding His blood and dying for man, is the good news of our salvation πŸ™πŸ»πŸ™πŸ»πŸ™πŸ»

That is the good news I have brought to you. Don't worry, I am not traveling anytime soon. We shall stay and enjoy together.

I missed my favorite pineapple juice and coconut rice. Do you know that in Bujumbura, I didn't see coconut rice to eat? 😁😁
I can't go there again... This is my way of starting the day with you. Don't kill, either by word or action. I have warned you.

As always, I love you from my heart. And I am back for good. Go out and preach the gospel by your life..

This is your friend and brother, saying,

Bonjour monsieur/madame
Rabbi😘😘😘
