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 II

    Leaving for his mission Paul didn´t make himself unaccountable just because he had already been anointed and free. At that moment Paul had become a mature minister established many churches. Nevertheless, he was still an accountable person. He returned to the church at Antioch, to the place he had been sent from, to meet those whom God had been made an authority over Paul. Moreover, Paul also held an account before the apostles in Jerusalem regarding the way his ministry was going.«Then after a period of fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus also with me. I went up by revelation, and I laid before them the gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately before those who were respected, for fear that I might be running, or had run, in vain». (Galatians 2:1-2).

  • How can we experience God in our life? III

    Let Him talk to your heart today. We keep on talking about how we can experience God´s presence, power and His mercy in our life. Yesterday we stated that constant fellowship with God is mandatory in order to experience these things. We quoted many verses from Scripture telling us that people who love God have obvious advantages. For such people God has prepared many pleasant surprises and all things together work for good in their lives and God Himself appears to them.«We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose.» (Romans 8:28).

  • Preparation is a key to effective life!

    In reality, effective life is impossible without appropriate preparation. Jesus solved the question of effectiveness by preparing Himself for the ministry. There is almost no information about what Jesus had been doing during the first 30 years of His life. Gospels tell us the story about His ministry. Meanwhile, we need to understand that prior to starting His ministry Jesus had been seriously preparing himself for quite a long time.

  • Searching for the meaning of life III

    We have been talking about search for the meaning of life. We are using the life of Solomon, the son of David as our example. Solomon was the wisest person on earth. We saw that in the beginning of his life Solomon obtained wisdom and riches, because he loved God and knew Him. But there came a time in his life, when he forsook God and followed other gods. At that time Solomon tried to satisfy his soul with different things; he looked for happiness in different places. Eventually, Solomon realized that it is impossible to be happy and satisfied in this life without God.

  • How to develop a habit of prayer in our life? III

    As you know, human life consists of habits. There are also good and bad habits. Any habit that brings a positive outcome requires some efforts and discipline from us. Unless we have a habit of praying our prayer life will never become effective neither fruitful. Let me quote the statement of an Ancient Greek philosopher, Aristotle who once said about habits – “We are the product of what we repeatedly do”. In other words, our habits are our essence. Therefore, in order to excel at something, we have to make it our habit.

  • Concentrate on the reward, not on the pain and discomfort

    In order for us to seize the potential advantages that are hidden in pain and sufferings, we must learn the true nature and essence of sufferings. Firstly, our present pains are temporary comparing to eternal torture that awaits every person who lives a life of compromise in pursuit of personal comfort. Secondly, our present pain is light comparing to the glory of God that awaits every person who endures pains with dignity. By going through the temporary sufferings, we gain eternal glory and joy. Temporary sufferings multiply our eternal glory if endured with the right attitude.
