Holy Week
As Christians around the world commemorate the passion and death of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, we are officially entering "Holy week". Personally i think as Christians we all need to reflect on our lives, acknowledge our sins and be truly sorry for them. We need to seek God's mercy and remember what it cost to save our souls. How much blood was shed for our salvation! do not Christ's sacrifice be in vain.
I was thinking about Judas, the betrayer and feeling pity for him because he gave in to despair and was lost forever. How many of us feel like we are beyond redemption? The truth is we do not deserve To be saved, we are all sinners and harbor some malice and wickedness in our hearts. However God did not come to save the "just", he came to save sinners. If you read the Gospels, you will realize that Jesus never ever turned away from even the most sinful people or the outcasts. He always treated them with kindness and love. Never once did he judge or condemn even the worst sinners.
God's love for me inspires me to try to be a better person everyday. Every time i fall and am disappointed, i always remember that he knows my weaknesses and yet he still loves me and he is always ready to forgive me. But that is not an excuse to keep sinning without making an effort to change. Do your best, put your trust in God and he will do the rest.
