Jēzus ir nācis, lai sagrautu visus sātana darbus un parādītu Dieva darbus

Jesus came into this world that he might destroy the works of the devil and he might reveal God´s works

Lai Jums žēlastība un miers no mūsu Kunga, Jēzus Kristus!

Es sveicinu jūs mūsu rubrikā „Ikdienas vārds garīgajam stiprinājumam”!

Vakar mēs sākām izskatīt situāciju, kura ir aprakstīta Jāņa Evaņģēlijā – par cilvēku, kas bija neredzīgs kopš dzimšanas.

„Un, garām ejot, Viņš ieraudzīja cilvēku, kas no dzimšanas bija neredzīgs.  Viņa mācekļi Viņam jautāja: “Rabi, kas ir grēkojis, viņš pats vai viņa vecāki, ka viņš neredzīgs piedzimis?” Jēzus atbildēja: “Ne viņš ir grēkojis, ne viņa vecāki, bet Dieva darbiem vajag parādīties viņā.” (Jāņa ev. 9:1-3).

Jēzus teica, ka šī cilvēka aklums nebija saistīts ar viņa paša grēkiem vai viņa vecāku grēkiem. Problēmu bija izraisījis cits avots, kuru Jēzus konkrēti nemin. Neskatoties uz to, ka Jēzus konkrēti nemin šo avotu, ir acīmredzams, ka sātans bija šī cilvēka akluma avots. Bet tieši dēļ tā, Jēzus ir nācis, lai sagrautu visus sātana darbus un parādītu Dieva darbus.

„Kas dara grēku, ir no velna, jo velns grēko no sākuma. Tamdēļ Dieva Dēls atnācis, lai Viņš iznīcinātu velna darbus” (1Jāņa 3:8).

Sātans nodara sāpes, zog, nogalina un pazudina cilvēkus, bet Kristū – Dievs nāk un parāda Savu spēku un žēlastību. Jēzū Kristū, Dievs dziedina slimos, piedod grēkus, atjauno likteņus, atbrīvo no lāstiem un ļauno garu ietekmes. Nedaudz vēlāk, mēs konkrēti parunāsim par sātanu, kā par bēdu un ciešanu avotu. Šodien, es gribētu, lai mēs ieraugam, ka arī citu cilvēku grēki ir ciešanu un sāpju avots.

Kā jau mēs runājām, ka vēl bez personīgajiem grēkiem, sāpes un ciešanas cilvēka dzīvē var izraisīt citu cilvēku grēki. Nešķīstība, nelikumības un netaisnība no apkārtējo cilvēku puses – tas viss var kļūt par ciešanu iemeslu mūsu un mūsu mīļoto cilvēku dzīvē. Lūk, tāpēc kristiešiem ir jādara viss, kas no viņiem atkarīgs, lai sludinātu Evaņģēliju citiem cilvēkiem. Jo vairāk būs patiesu kristiešu, jo mazāk uz šīs zemes būs traģēdijas un ciešanas. Kad ticīgie tiks paņemti no šīs zemes, tad sāksies lielo ciešanu laiks.

Mēs ar jums jau runājām, ka ciešanu līmeni uz mūsu planētas varēs samazināt tikai tad, kad cilvēki vērsīsies pie Dieva.

„Caur tiklo ļaužu svētību pilsēta tiek paaugstināta, bet bezdievīgo runu dēļ tā tiek sagrauta” (Sal. pam. 11:11).
„Kad pārsvars taisno pusē, tad klājas labi, bet, ja pārsvaru iegūst bezdievīgie, ļaudis slēpjas” (Sal. pam. 28:12).
„Taisnība tautu paaugstina, bet grēks ir tautu negods” (Sal. pam. 34:34).

Visas šīs Rakstu vietas liecina par to, ka tikai taisnie un taisnība, var traģēdiju un skumju vietā, – dot nācijai uzvaru un prieku. Attiecīgi, Evaņģēlija sludināšana ir viens no līdzekļiem ar kura palīdzību var stāties pretī grēkam un grēka sekām – stāties pretī ļaunumam. Evaņģēlija sludināšana – ir viens no Dieva visaptverošākajiem ieročiem, kurš ir pieejams katram kristietim un kurš ir spējīgs uzvarēt visus sātana ļaunprātīgos nodomus.

„…kājas apāvuši ar apņemšanos kalpot miera evaņģēlijam…”  (Efeziešiem 6:15).

Evaņģēlija sludināšana pasaulē – ir viens no veidiem, kā Dievs satriec sātanu zem mūsu kājām, jo Evaņģēlija sludināšana liek miera Dievam darboties.

„Bet miera Dievs drīzumā samīs sātanu apakš jūsu kājām! Mūsu Kunga Jēzus žēlastība lai ir ar jums! Amen” (Romiešiem 16:20).

Mēs darām labu sev, kad liecinām un sludinām Evaņģēliju citiem cilvēkiem.

Un tā, bieži vien, citu cilvēku grēki ir iemesls daudzām traģēdijām.

Rīt, mēs izskatīsim dažus piemērus no Bībeles par to, kā dažu cilvēku grēki kļuva par ciešanu un traģēdiju iemeslu citu cilvēku dzīvēs.

Līdz rītdienai!

Ar Dieva mieru!

  • The example of accountability in the life of apostle Paul

    Who was Paul? He is the greatest apostle ever, one who wrote 2/3 of the New Testament. He had access to the revelations like nobody else. He got to know God more than any other apostles. «Regard the patience of our Lord as salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also, according to the wisdom given to him, wrote to you». (2nd Peter 3:15).

  • What is compassion?

    We must understand that Jesus’ disciples were not perfect; quite the opposite, they are ordinary people with „character issues”. Jesus did not wait until they become perfect, but sent them out to serve people. He did not have anybody else to send; so He worked with what He had. And He is calling us to do the same today; it applies to every one who considers himself to be His disciple. Jesus desires for God’s children to be filled with compassion and to help people allowing God to touch all the people around them with His love. If we see someone perishing physically because of some illness, we do everything to save him. We often do not realize that unsaved people are spiritually ill, that they are perishing and need salvation. We must do everything in our power to save them. So our hearts need to go out to them with love and compassion.

  • Jesus transforms those that follow Him!

    We continue to speculate on God´s desire to change us for our own benefit. As we stated, by letting God to change us according to His will and following Jesus people around will see a reflection of Heaven in our life and in our ministry. Do you remember when the elders of synagogue, scribes and Sadducees met Jesus disciples after He was resurrected, they faced a supernatural courage in them.

  • We must walk not only before God, but also before people God has set as overseers in our lives

    I must note that ‘accountability group’ (small group, home group) is not the place where you only share your problems or weaknesses. Of course, accountability implies all of it. But if we only do that, then there is no time for instruction or feed-back, and then this group can turn into a place of gossip and slandering. Accountability group or Christian fellowship is the place of learning where we all strive to be more like Jesus. We do it through questions and answers, Bible study, prayer; we listen to each other and support each other.

  • Lust brings sin, and sin brings death III

    Love destroys the power of lust; where there is love, wounds are healed and prosperity comes. Love is the nature of God and when we become partakers of His essence we escape from corruption that rules in this world. «..as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust» (2 Peter, 1: 3-4)
