‘Jesus Christ yesterday and today, the same for everIt’s okay. ”
Before Jesus resurrected Lazarus, who had been in his grave for 4 days, Martha said to Jesus: “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.” Jesus answered her: "Your brother will be resurrected." She said to him: "I know that the resurrection on the final day." Jesus answered: "I am the resurrection and life."
Jesus is the same yesterday, present and forever. So he has the same power, and even present he can resurrect the dead, especially the spiritually dead. He can do the same thing he did erstwhile he was on the ground. erstwhile we read the lives of saints and martyrs, we see that before their death, that is, during torture, the Lord has performed large miracles through them. For example, miracles with chaotic animals erstwhile hungry lions in the arena did not teardrop them to shreds, but licked them and acted like sheep. Another time, after severe torture and imprisonment, they were completely healthy the next day. This was the case with many martyrs. any were even thrown into the oven and left unharmed. Seeing this, many Gentiles called out: “The God of Christians is great!” Through these miracles they converted and confessed to Jesus. They were even willing to endure torture and death for him. In the life of these martyrs and saints, there is simply a mention of any who resurrected the dead. Not his own power, but Jesus himself made it his divine power.
Let us realize that Jesus is the same today. Like Martha, we believe that Jesus performed the miracles described in the Gospels, and we besides believe that Jesus not only rose from the dead but will besides resurrect us in the future. This is religion in Jesus' past and future. But for us the most crucial is this time, “today and now.” We request the strength to fight sin, the strength to defy the influences of this world, so we must turn to Jesus in religion and believe that He is the same. For example, we pray to rise the mountain. Jesus says: “If you have religion like a mustard seed and say this mountain (spiritual)—
«PGet back and throw yourself in the sea», this will be fulfilledIt’s okay. ” This is due to the fact that God’s omnipotence does so. slow we call on the name of Jesus and take steps of religion in union with Jesus, so that these invisible mountains of demons may be raised up and thrown into the sea of hell. But do we have religion in this moment? Are we united in religion with Jesus? Do we realize that He is the same and today, right now? That His omnipotence works through our prayer of faith?
Faith is what conquers the world. There is false religion and Bible religion that unites us with Jesus erstwhile we believe in Him and His Word. Indeed He is the same yesterday, that is, in the past, and will come with his power in the future, but He is the same today. Let us be aware of this first of all erstwhile in religion we experience the Sacred Liturgy, especially silence before and after the consecration, and even erstwhile we refuse 1 of our prayers in which we ask for God's intervention. At this point, we should trust in God's Word and not uncertainty God's omnipotence, or that Jesus is here, with me and in me, and that he is doing so through my faith.
