9.The arrival of Jesus Christ.

Soldiers dragged Jesus Christ through the streets crucified him on a wooden cross and put him to a slow painful death. All this time Jesus wondered why his heavenly father(yahova) didn’t come to his rescue. Jesus’ soul left him and went to heaven. The Heavenly Father(yahova) was waiting for Jesus with the doors wide open.
Jesus wondered while he was going through severe hardships, ignored by others Yahova didn’t help him. God must have explained the reason for this to Jesus. Jesus was sent to Earth to live and die there. Life is full of hardships. Only those who can overcome them are allowed to enter the doors of heaven.
Yahova knew that only Jesus can go through all these pain and sufferings. Jesus knew that his days on earth are numbered. Otherwise Yahova might have avoided his death. Days of all men are numbered. After that either through old age or diseases or accidents or any other manner death will come. Man can live only up to an age. We can’t extend our lives by killing or looting. The loot amount will go to another man after his death. After death the body will become immovable and become earth and dust or burned to ashes. Question of soul will come. Where does it go? What happens after death? Nobody on earth has answered this question. I have not read or heard about it. This is what I think “ Jesus Christ resurrected after 3 days of death.”
Those who have read the Bible and those who believe in Jesus believe that it is true. Truth is unique. What we have seen, known or read may not be true. It depends on our brain’s ability to understand and decipher truth. Those who don’t have this ability may not find truth at all.

8.The Arrival of Jesus Christ(continues)

None of them who were gathered to stone Mary were good people. Hearing the words of Jesus
they threw away the stones and went and led good lives. The prostitute Mary fell on Jesus’ feet and apologized and disowned her previous profession. Jesus blessed her after she took this decision. What can we learn from this? A person, if he realizes his mistake and repent wholeheartedly, he will be relieved of the sins. Knowingly or unknowingly, if one does a mistake and realizes that it was a mistake and if he apologizes and asks for forgiveness from God, then Jesus will forgive him. Again if you do the same mistake, God will not forgive. On the other hand he will punish for the present and previous sins. And the punishment for a sin is death.
Jesus fed five thousand people with five bread and two fish. The bread that he gave them was his words. All those who ate the bread were full and they became like Jesus Christ.
Christianity came at a time when Buddhism and Jewish religion were widespread. Gradually when Christianity spread to more places, more people came to know about Jesus Christ. Many did not accept his preaching. They became his enemies. Jesus was betrayed by one of his own disciple, Judas, for 30 Shekels. What can we learn from this? We can’t trust even our close friends. They can be our classmates, relatives or disciples. We can’t predict whether they will cheat or betray us. But Jesus knew in advance that Judas would betray. Jesus did not show any enmity towards Judas. Love was Jesus’ armor. Jesus would give the sword of love to others and get the love from others. If we give love unconditionally to others, we would also get back love. But we would not get back whatever we give. One example is how Jesus was hated and betrayed by people. Jesus was perhaps the most brutalized person in the entire history of world. There was no limit for the torture he received. Jesus took upon hinself other’s sins and relieved them of their sins. Can anybody else in this world do this? Answer is NO. Only Jesus can do it.

The People And Religions.

1.The First men and Sin:

In the beginning, God created Adam from clay & mud. That was the first human being on earth. Then he created Eve as a companion to Adam from his rib bone. The first man was born in this way. As per the myth, all the present day human beings descent from them. After creating Adam, God must have felt that man was lacking something and so he created a female partner, Eve. Time proved that it was right. Every man has his female partner either legally or illegally. Let us leave it aside and think about it seriously.
2.The Birth of Universe:
In the beginning, the universe was of the shape of an egg and later as the temperature level raised, it expanded and later exploded and thus the universe as we see it today was born.
3.The Birth of the Earth:
The Earth was born millions of years after the birth of the Universe. The Earth was a fragment that got detached from the Sun. At first the Earth was also a boiling fireball like the Sun. After millions of years the surface was cooled down and the Earth in its present form was born.
4.The Birth of Soul(Life)
Life appeared on the Earth for the first time in water on the Earth’s surface. Thus microscopic organisms invisible to the human eye were developed. They multiplied in number and began to change forms. Organisms visible to the naked eye then developed. Thus fishes were born. Life spread to anywhere there was water. Soon life spread to the banks also. Thus amphibians developed and some became plants. Deep forests developed. Worms first developed in wet soil, later they became reptiles and from them birds developed. At first the reptiles jumped from one point to another and gradually they developed wings and became fully developed to fly. Thus birds were born. When birds captured the sky, the animals occupied the land. With the passage of time, the reptiles grew in size and became gigantic creatures that could raise their head high up in air. And thus in the Jurassic age the dinosaurs developed. There is proof of science to support the theory that once the land was dominated by gigantic creatures. Their fossils are still preserved. The reason for their extinction is proved to be a meteor from the outer sky.
The Earth surface was deserted for millions of years afterwards. Then again after several millions of years, the animals and plants were again born. For example if we make the land barren in our property by cutting trees and bushes, we can see that after some years again new trees and bushes will come up there. Similar actions take place on Earth’s surface too. Birds, animals, plants etc also take birth and die. Like the two faces of a coin, birth and death are non-stop on Earth.
5.The Birth of First Humans
It took millions of years for the first animal to take birth. But the later animals were not gigantic like their predecessors. They were only 4 – 5 feet tall. These animals later developed into Apes. At first they walked on 4 feet and later on 2 feet. The 2 legs in front were raised, to be used as hands. It was like an animal standing straight. Later on they adapted to walk on 2 legs. The front 2 legs were used to clutch food and do other activities. It was the first ape to resemble human beings. Human beings developed from them. These primitive humans were not very simple. They were more intelligent, had good hearing, ate a lot and mated a lot. So their population increased. As their population increased, they left deep forests and settled near riverbanks in groups. They led very open lives. The primitive humans lacked any control, which changed once they had a tribe head. They waited in patience for the orders from their chief. Those who did not accept the leadership left the group and formed their smaller tribes. There were frequent battles between the groups. The members of the tribe fought first and then the tribal chiefs will fight. This was followed for a very long time.
In times of failures or sufferings or diseases and death, they remembered to pray to God. Fire was their first God. The reason was none other than their fear of lightning and fire. In due course they started worshipping fire. When lightning occurred or when they saw a forest fire or the fire by rubbing of rocks, he would clasp his hands in prayer. “God, don’t let anything happen to us” was their first prayer. Fear made man create God. They feared fire and later worshipped. God is something that they fear. Next to fire, they worshipped wind and water also. When man realized that he would die of snakebite, he stated fearing snakes and later started worshipping also. They created idols of snake and worshipped it. There were fierce battles between tribes and tribal chiefs in the name of God. One group of tribals came up with the idol of an ox and started worshipping it. The idol was decorated and worshipped with festivals. They were not afraid of the chiefs and lived as they wished. Drinking, Dancing, shouting, they lived merrily. When there was nobody to control them, the first prophet, Moses came.
6.The arrival of first Prophet:
He stood in their midst and pointed his tablet at them and said, “Believe me people, what ever we thought true is not actually true. These are the Ten Commandments from God. Anybody who obeys them will become God’s child.”
People believed Moses and started obeying the Ten Commandments. Moses was accepted as their Prophet. They listened to his words and started obeying him. Moses performed several miracles. Many who lived in wrong ways, changed their ways after hearing him. His Ten Commandments enlightened many and he got several followers.
Many prophets followed, like Jesus Christ and Prophet Mohammed. World became a better place due to their presence.
7.The arrival of Jesus Christ:
Jesus was born in a cattle shed. Why did the Son of God take birth in a cattle shed? Why not in a royal palace or as a rich lord? The answer to this question is another question. Who is the biggest among humans? We know that the biggest or highest is the strongest who can defeat any other man. But you are wrong. “The biggest is the one who acts smallest”. By taking birth in a cattle shed, he could identify with the poorest of the world. This is what God has showed us – neither of us is above another one. People who are born high in society or in rich family need not be above another one in the God’s eye. Having money or muscle power or having goondas to assist or having gold or diamonds or accumulating weapons will not help someone to become great. Nor do stealing another’s wealth will help someone to become great. These are not right methods. Only downtrodden people will do that. Illegal ways are sinful. One who acts small leaving behind his own self and pride and show compassion to fellow human beings is the real great man. Jesus had these qualities. So Jesus is great.
Money is the source of pride. Its said that pride goes before a fall. If one doesn’t have any penny, he will be humble and once he gets rich, we can see his true character coming out. So money changes men. Money gives power. Today’s social circumstances allow even criminals to come to power. This is through ‘disguising’. According to Indian Penal code clause 419, it is criminal offence and the person can get even imprisonment. Today’s scientific achievements are in favor of these criminals.
Having money and the scientific innovations may make one feel that he is somebody very high. Humility should be the biggest qualification. Jesus Christ was the greatest man who lived on Earth. It is wastage of time to think that Son of God took birth on Earth and lived through hardships and did all wonders. It is a myth. Jesus was born as a human and through his good character and good actions and through clarity of Words; he became the real Son of God. Through him, the World got a better religion, that is Christianity.
There were many religions even before Christ. But they all ended like water bubbles. If Christianity does not have that fate, then credit goes to Jesus Christ. He was so great. His words were beautiful and high. They were formulas to lead a man towards righteousness. This is the reason why Christianity did not become water bubble like other religions. Getting into the words of Jesus, “He who sins must be punished” is the rule, but the punishers should not be sinners. When people stoned the prostitute Mary Magdalene, Jesus said, “Let He who hasn’t sinned, stone her first”. From Jesus’ teaching, we understand that one who judges others should first judge himself. If the person giving punishment is himself a criminal, what is the point in punishments?

People searching for happiness and people searching for sadness

What comes after day? Many of us know that its night. Similarly behind happiness is sadness. Behind laughing is crying. If we laugh once, we may cry at another time. Like that if we are happy once, we may be sad at another time. When the day dawns, night comes. People want to be happy always. Nobody likes to be sad. Similarly nobody likes hardships and misery in life. What is happiness? When a man’s needs and likes are satisfied, he will be happy. There may several things that a man likes. For some it may be drinking, for some it might be viewing a movie or for some it may sex with his sweetheart. Besides these traveling, eating good food, owning a vehicle, games etc can also make people happy. People chasing happiness do not think about sadness.
The most important thing for happiness as we all know is money. Money brings happiness. What to do if there is no money? It is then that a man goes for a job and those who are averse to the idea of job goes and steals or robs others money. To be happy one needs money. One has to earn ones living. People who steal and rob will get rich and he can be happy for some time. After sometime he will again become penniless. Again he will rob or steal. This should remind us of one thing. People take all these efforts to be happy. Honest people earn their happiness through righteous ways and some others select other evil ways.
We might do many things to get happiness. We can see people running around searching for happiness. They will gather where they get happiness. People fight against each other to get happiness. They will split others head to find happiness. Now you know the reason for all these fights. Everything for a little happiness. But, nobody wishes for sadness. Similarly crying and darkness are also disliked.
Will anybody wish to cry today? Similarly, will anybody like darkness? Or else to like darkness, crying and sadness, one should become mentally unstable. Or else we should discard our likes and wants and ambitions. On the other hand what happens if people become mentally unstable, lets see what will be their state then. These people will be either sad and depressed always or they will be in love with darkness. Another group of people will always be mourning. Whatever they think or say, they will keep on weeping. Normal people will not like sadness, darkness and crying.
Among the normal people there are two kinds who find happiness, one is through good and righteous ways and the other through evil ways. People who make money through righteous ways are numbered. Today almost all people who search for happiness either in India or abroad are traveling the evil ways. People who money in the right way are those who do job or business. Others are all involved in making fake currency, illegal distilleries, illegal lottery, drug peddlers or immoral trafficking. Happiness revolves around such group of people. This group is liked and praised today. Most of them got into these trades knowingly or unknowingly. If anybody talks against them, they will be silenced.
Now you know where happiness and sadness resides. If this is the situation of the world today, then we can imagine what might be the situation tomorrow.
