Jesus Crossed My Mind

But unto him ... 2 Corinthians 5:15 ► And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again. To live to him is the opposite to living unto ourselves. It is to seek his honor; to feel that we belong to him; that all our time and talents; all our strength of intellect and body; all the avails of our skill and toil, all belong to him, and should be employed in his service. If we have talents by which we can influence other minds, they should be employed to honor the Saviour. If we have skill, or strength to labor by which we can make money, we should feel that it all belongs to him, and should be employed in his service. If we have property, we should feel that it is his, and that he has a claim upon it all, and that it should be honestly consecrated to his cause. And if we are endowed with a spirit of enterprise, and are suited by nature to encounter perils in distant and barbarious climes, as Paul was, we should feel like him that we are bound to devote all entirely to his service, and to the promotion of his cause. A servant, a slave, does not live to himself but to his master. His person, his time, his limbs, his talents, and the avails of his industry are not regarded as his own. He is judged incapable of holding any property which is not at the disposal of his master. If he has strength, it is his master's. If he has skill, the avails of it are his master's. If he is an ingenious mechanic, or labors in any department; if he is amiable, kind, gentle, and faithful, and adapted to be useful in an eminent degree, it is regarded as all the property of his master. He is bound to go where his master chooses; to execute the task which he assigns; to deny himself at his master's will; and to come and lay the avails of all his toil and skill at his master's feet. He is regarded as having been purchased with money; and the purchase money is supposed to give a right to his time, his talents, his services, and his soul. Such as the slave is supposed to become by purchase, and by the operation of human laws, the Christian becomes by the purchase of the Son of God, and by the voluntary recognition of him as the master, and as having a right to all that we have and are. To him all belongs; and all should be employed in endeavoring to promote his glory, and in advancing his cause.

“የኃጢአት ደመወዝ ሞት ነውና፤ የእግዚአብሔር የጸጋ ስጦታ ግን በክርስቶስ ኢየሱስ በጌታችን የዘላለም ሕይወት ነው።” — ሮሜ 6፥23

(የማቴዎስ ወንጌል ምዕ. 17) ---------- 22፤ በገሊላም ሲመላለሱ ኢየሱስ። የሰው ልጅ በሰዎች እጅ አልፎ ይሰጥ ዘንድ አለው፥ ይገድሉትማል፥ 23፤ በሦስተኛውም ቀን ይነሣል አላቸው። እጅግም አዘኑ።

Happy women's day sisters
