Then the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.Luke 2:10‭-‬11

Great Joy for all the people*
1)Ordinary people.
In those days Shepherds were treated as common people. They suffered a lot in taking care of the sheep. Lived like nomadic people, staying outside their homes . They were poor people.
Now there were in the same country shepherds living out in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night. And behold, an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were greatly afraid.Then the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord Luke 2:8‭-‬11

Yes the good news is for common men like shepherds

2) Wise men
The good news is not only for ordinary people or illiterate, but for intellectual or philosophers.
Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem, saying, “Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the East and have come to worship Him.”Matthew 2:1‭-‬2

 
They were learned people having much knowledge...

 
When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy. And when they had come into the house, they saw the young Child with Mary His mother, and fell down and worshiped Him. And when they had opened their treasures, they presented gifts to Him: gold, frankincense, and myrrh.Matthew 2:10‭-‬11

 
Yes the good news is for wise men or women.

3) Religious people.
The good news is for religious people who always spend their time in matters of religion. In prayer,good works, etc
And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon, and this man was just and devout, waiting for the Consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him.Luke 2:25

 Simon was Praising God..

 
So he came by the Spirit into the temple. And when the parents brought in the Child Jesus, to do for Him according to the custom of the law, he took Him up in his arms and blessed God and said: “Lord, now You are letting Your servant depart in peace, According to Your word; For my eyes have seen Your salvation Which You have prepared before the face of all peoples,Luke 2:27‭-‬31

The gospel( good news) is needed for all.
For common men, the wisemen and for the religious... 

 
If you belong to any of above, this Joyful season be a time of receiving the greatest gift .

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, (Jesus Christ) that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.John 3:16

And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.”Matthew 1:21 

*"Longing to leave her poor Brazilian neighborhood, Christina wanted to see the world. She was discontent with a home having only a pallet on the floor, a wash basin, and a wood-burning stove. And she dreamed of a better life in the city. One morning, she quietly slipped away, breaking her mother's heart. 

Knowing what life on the streets would be like for her daughter, Maria, her mother, hurriedly packed and set out to find her. She went into a photo studio to get one last thing, pictures. She sat at the photograph booth and closed the curtain and spent all the money she could on pictures of herself. And with her purse full of small, black-and-white photos, she boarded the next bus to Rio de Janeiro.

Maria knew Christina had no way of earning money. She also knew that her daughter was too stubborn to give up. When pride meets hunger, a human will do things that were before unthinkable. Knowing this, Maria began her search. Bars, hotels, night clubs, any place where the reputation for streetwalkers , she went to them all. And at each place, she left her picture taped on a bathroom mirror, tacked to a hotel bulletin board, fastened to a corner phone booth. And on the back of each photo she wrote a note. It wasn't long before both the money and the pictures ran out and Maria had to go home. The weary mother wept as the bus began its long journey back to her small village.

And it was a few weeks later that young Christina descended the hotel stairs. Her young face was tired. Her eyes spoke of pain, and  fear. Her laughter was broken. Her dream had become a nightmare.  Yet, the little village was, in too many ways, too far away. As she reached the bottom of the stairs on that fateful day, her eyes noticed a familiar face. She looked again, and there on the lobby mirror was a small picture of her mother. Christina's eyes burned and her throat tightened as she walked across the room and removed that small photo. Written on the back was this compelling invitation: "Whatever you have done, whatever you have become, it doesn't matter. Please come home".

And she did. And I want you to know that that's what the message of the gospel is all about. Did you know that the Bible says that, "Jesus Christ has come to seek and to save that which is lost"? And Jesus Christ is God's picture to us. Did you know that? The Scripture says, "If you have seen me, you have seen the Father". Jesus said that. Do you want to know what God is like? He's pictured in Jesus. Jesus is God, but He's a picture of who God is. And Almighty God sent His picture down here. It's taped on the podium of churches. It's heard on the dial of radio stations. It's seen in television christian programs. And on the back of the picture is this message: "Whatever you have done, whatever you have become, come home".

May this season be a time of repentance and turning back to God.. 

Jesus is the reason for the season... 

But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.I John 1:7‭, ‬9

God Loves you. Personally. Powerfully. Passionately. 

Others have promised and failed. but God has promised and succeeded. 

He loves you with an unfailing love. And His love can fill you and leave you with a love worth giving... 

⭐.. That's what love does. It puts the beloved before itself. Your soul was more important than His blood. Your eternal life was more important than His earthly life. Your place is more important to Him than His place in heaven. So He gave up His so you could have yours... Max lucado

* The true story has been told of a believer Frederick Nolan, who was fleeing from his enemies during a time of persecution in North Africa. Pursued by them over hill and valley with no place to hide, he fell exhausted into a wayside cave, expecting his enemies to find him soon.

Awaiting his death, he saw a spider weaving a web. Within minutes, the little bug had woven a beautiful web across the mouth of the cave. The pursuers arrived and wondered if Nolan was hiding there, but on seeing the unbroken and unmangled piece of art, thought it impossible for him to have entered the cave without dismantling the web. And so they went on. Having escaped, Nolan burst out and exclaimed:
“Where God is, a spider’s web is like a wall,
Where God is not, a wall is like a spider’s web.”
There is no need to wonder how God will take care of you; just be assured that He will.

Be Joyful.. Be Thankful...

**I have everything I need for joy!" Robert Reed said. "Amazing!" I thought.

His hands are twisted and his feet are useless. He can't bathe himself. He can't feed himself. He can't brush his teeth, comb his hair, or put on his dress. His shirts are held together by strips of Velcro'. His speech drags like a worn-out audio cassette.

Robert has cerebral palsy.

The disease keeps him from driving a car, riding a bike, and going for a walk. But it didn't keep him from graduat­ing from high school or attending Abilene Christian University, from which he graduated with a degree in Latin. Having cerebral palsy didn't keep him from teaching at a St. Louis junior college or from venturing overseas on five mission trips.

And Robert's disease didn't prevent him from becoming a missionary in Portugal.

He moved to Lisbon, alone, in 1972. There he rented a hotel room and began studying Portuguese. He found a restaurant owner who would feed him after the rush hour and a tutor who would instruct him in the language.

Then he stationed himself daily in a park, where he distributed brochures about Christ. Within six years he led seventy people to the Lord, one of whom became his wife, Rosa.

I heard Robert speak recently. I watched other men carry him in his wheelchair onto the platform. I watched them lay a Bible in his lap. I watched his stiff fingers force open the pages. And I watched people in the audience wipe away tears of admiration from their faces. Robert could have asked for sympathy or pity, but he did just the opposite. He held his bent hand up in the air and boasted, "I have everything I need for joy."

His shirts are held together by Velcro', but his life is held together by joy.

Dear, are you worrying about your  circumstances, about what you don't have? 

Jesus is Enough.. Rejoice.... Worship Him... 

Blessed day!!

*On New Year’s Day, 1929, Georgia Tech played the University of California in the Rose Bowl.  The center for Cal was a player named Roy Riegels.

The game was a defensive battle with neither team finding any advantage until, late in the second quarter, Tech fumbled.  Roy Riegels scooped up the fumble and began heading to the end zone. 

The problem was that somehow Roy had become confused and started running toward the wrong end zone.  Finally, one of his teammates overtook him and tackled Roy just before he scored for the opposition.  Roy was inconsolable.

Cal was forced to punt and, wouldn’t you know it, Tech blocked the kick and scored a safety as the half ended.  The shocked California players headed for their dressing room amid the hoots and hollers of the jubilant Georgia Tech fans.

Once there, they took their assigned places on the benches in the center of the room – all except Roy who went to a corner and sank down with his head in his hands.

If you have played football, you know that a coach usually has a lot to say to his team during halftime.  That day, Coach Nibs Price was quiet.  No doubt he was trying to decide what to do with Roy.

When the timekeeper came in and announced there were three minutes before the second-half kickoff, Coach Price looked at his team and said, “Men, the same team that started the first half will start the second half.”

The players got up and started for the field, all but Roy.  He didn’t move.  The coach looked back and called to him.  The big center still didn’t move.

Coach Price then went over to where Riegels sat and said, “Roy, didn’t you hear me?  The same team that started the first half will start the second half.”

Riegels finally looked up, his cheeks shining with tears said, “Coach, I can’t do it.  I’ve ruined you.  I’ve ruined Cal.  I’ve ruined myself.  How can I face that crowd?”

Then Coach Price reached out and put his hand on the boy’s shoulder.  “Roy,” he said, “get up and go on out there.”  Then he added, “The game is only half over.”

Roy got up and went out and played.  Oh, how he played!  In fact, players on both teams later agreed that they had never seen a man play like Roy Riegels did in that second half.

 Lord Jesus has come to you and He puts His arm around your shoulders and says"

"My child the game is not yet over. Get up. Run.. and start again.. "

YOU MAY WELL HAVE MESSED UP IN THE FIRST HALF, BUT THE ONE WHO CALLED YOU IS NOT ONLY WILLING TO FORGIVE YOU –  GET UP AND GO ON.  THE GAME IS ONLY HALF OVER.

                    2023 October 19 (Real Story)

A small team carrying food and other gift items for the suffering, left a church from a foreign country.

The servant of God in that church was encouraging them.

They were met by a young man and his wife on the way.

How is your life? A member of the team inquired them.

We are in great trouble. During the Covid times, I lost my job. The young man answered.

A sister named Carol who was a member of that church asked him seeing the grief on his face.

“Can the servant of God pray for you?” When they agreed, the team got around them.

The servant of God prayed.

“God, you make the paralyzed to walk, gave hearing to the deaf. Jesus all things are possible with you. Be kind to this young man and give him a job…”

Ding…Ding…Ding…

Before saying Amen there was a ring on the young man’s phone.

“I apologize… I am not seeing spiritual things lightly, but may I attend to this call...?” The young man said.

The team which said “Amen” waited .. 

There was a great happiness on the face of the young man.

After two minutes he spoke.

“I got a job. It was a call from a company Thank you…”

The team which was standing by the road side glorified God.

…

Pray… Right now… Whatever be your need… May the name of God be glorified…

2023 ഒക്ടോബർ 19(real story) 

വിദേശത്തുള്ള ഒരു സഭയിൽ നിന്ന് കഷ്ടപ്പെട്ടുന്നവർക്ക് ആഹാരവും മറ്റ് ഗിഫ്റ്റുകളുമായി ഒരു ചെറിയ ടീം പുറപ്പെട്ടു.

സഭയിലെ കർത്തൃ ദാസനും അവരെ ഉത്സാഹിപ്പിച്ചു കൊണ്ടിരുന്നു.

ഒരു യുവാവും ഭാര്യയും അവരെ വഴിയിൽ വെച്ചു കണ്ടു.

എങ്ങനെയുണ്ട് ജീവിതം? ടീമിലെ ഒരാൾ അവരോട് വിശേഷങ്ങൾ ചോദിച്ചു .

യുവാവ് മറുപടി പറഞ്ഞു. ഞങ്ങൾ ചില നാളുകളായി വളരെ പ്രയാസത്തിലാണ് .കൊറോണ കാലങ്ങളിൽ എൻ്റെ ജോലി നഷ്ടമായി. 

അവൻ്റെ മുഖത്തെ ദു:ഖം കണ്ട സഭയിലെ കാരൾ എന്ന സഹോദരി ചോദിച്ചു.

കർത്താവിൻ്റെ ദാസൻ നിങ്ങൾക്കായി ഒന്നു പ്രാർത്ഥിക്കട്ടെ? അവർ സമ്മതിച്ചപ്പോൾ ടീം അവരുടെ ചുറ്റും നിന്നു .

കർത്തൃ ദാസൻ പ്രാർത്ഥിച്ചു.

""ദൈവമേ അവിടുന്നു മുടന്തനെ നടക്കുമാറാക്കി, ചെകിടന് കേൾവി നൽകി, 

യേശുവേ അങ്ങേക്ക് എല്ലാം സാധ്യം. ഈ യുവാവിനോടു് കരുണ തോന്നി അവന് ഒരു ജോലി നൽകേണമേ......"""

ടിങ്.... ടിങ് ... ടിങ്...

ആമേൻ പറയുന്നതിന് മുമ്പ് യുവാവിൻ്റെ മൊബൈൽ ഫോൺ റിങ്ങ് ചെയ്തു..

" ക്ഷമിക്കണം... ഞാൻ ആത്മീയ കാര്യങ്ങളെ    ചെറിയ കാര്യമായി കാണുകയല്ല .'ഈ  ഫോൺ കോൾ ഒന്ന് അറ്റൻഡ് ചെയ്തോട്ടെ...' യുവാവ് പറഞ്ഞു

"ആമേൻ " പറഞ്ഞ ടീം കാത്തു നിന്നു.

യുവാവിൻ്റെ മുഖത്ത് വലിയ സന്തോഷം..

2 മിനിറ്റിന് ശേഷം അവൻ പറഞ്ഞു.

"എനിക്ക് ജോലി കിട്ടി. കമ്പനിയിൽ നിന്നുള്ള ഫോൺ കോൾ ആയിരുന്നു' നന്ദി ....

വഴിയരികിൽ നിന്ന ടീം ദൈവത്തെ മഹത്വപ്പെടുത്തി..

....

പ്രാർത്ഥിക്കുക ... ഇപ്പോൾ തന്നെ.... ആവശ്യം എന്തുമാകട്ടെ ... ദൈവനാമം മഹത്വപ്പെടട്ടെ....

അവർ വിളിക്കുന്നതിനുമുമ്പേ ഞാൻ ഉത്തരം അരുളും; അവർ സംസാരിച്ചുകൊണ്ടിരിക്കുമ്പോൾ തന്നെ ഞാൻ കേൾക്കും.യെശയ്യാവ് 65:24 

 

Billy Graham shared an incident in one of his  sermon... 

*Albert Einstein hopped aboard a train, heading for an out-of-town engagement.  As the conductor made his way down the aisle, stopping to punch tickets, the scientist began to rummage through his coat.  Then he looked in his briefcase.  He couldn’t find his ticket. 
 
When the conductor arrived, he leaned down and said, “Don’t worry, Dr. Einstein.  We all know who you are.  I’m sure you bought a ticket.”
 
The conductor continued to make his way down the aisle.  Before he moved on to the next car, he looked back and saw Einstein down on his hands and knees, still searching for his ticket.  He came back and said, gently, “Dr. Einstein, please don’t worry about it.  I know who you are.”  Einstein looked up and said, “I, too, know who I am.  What I don’t know is where I’m going.”
 
 
Late in the life, Billy Graham struggled with Parkinson’s.  He made fewer and fewer public appearances. 
 
One of his last ones was in Charlotte, North Carolina, where civic leaders hosted a luncheon in his honor.  Graham, perhaps for the last time, told the story about Einstein on the train.
 
Then he pointed out the new suit he was wearing.  He admitted that his wife, children, and grandchildren had all commented that he had begun to look a bit slovenly.  He had purchased the suit for two occasions.  One was for this luncheon.  The other was for his burial.
 
Billy concluded, “When you hear that I am dead, don’t immediately think of my suit.  Remember this: I know who I am, and I most certainly know where I am going.”.. 

The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why.... Quote

What is the purpose of my life? 

Where I am going?? 

Man’s chief end is to glorify God, and to enjoy Him for ever.

As for me, I will see Your face in righteousness; I shall be satisfied when I awake in Your likeness.Psalms 17:15

What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My Comforter, my All in All
Here in the love of Christ I stand

*Nadin Khoury was thirteen years old, five foot two, and weighed, soaking wet, probably a hundred pounds. His attackers were teenagers, larger than Nadin, and outnumbered him seven to one.

For thirty minutes they hit, kicked, and beat him.

He never stood a chance.

Khoury’s mom had recently moved the family to Philadelphia from Minnesota. She had lost her job as a hotel maid and was looking for work. In 2000 she’d escaped war-torn Liberia. Nadin Khoury, then, was the new kid in a rough neighborhood with a mom who was an unemployed immigrant — everything a wolf pack of bullies needed to justify an attack.

The hazing began weeks earlier. They picked on him. They called his mother names. They routinely pushed, shoved, and ambushed him. Then came the all-out assault on a January day. They dragged him through the snow, stuffed him into a tree, and suspended him on a seven-foot wrought-iron fence.

Khoury survived the attack and would have likely faced a few more except for the folly of one of the bullies. He filmed the pile-on and posted it on YouTube. A passerby saw the violence and chased away the bullies. Police saw it and got involved. The troublemakers landed in jail, and the story reached the papers.

A staffer at the nationwide morning show The View read the account and invited Khoury to appear on the broadcast. He did. As the video of the assault played on the screen behind him, he tried to appear brave, but his lower lip quivered. “Next time maybe it could be somebody smaller than me,” he said.

Unbeknown to him the producer had invited some other Philadelphians to appear on the show as well. As the YouTube video ended, the curtain opened, and three huge men walked out, members of the Philadelphia Eagles football team.

Khoury, a rabid fan, turned and smiled. One was All-Pro receiver DeSean Jackson. Jackson took a seat on the couch as close to the boy as possible and promised him, “Anytime you need us, I got two linemen right here.” Khoury’s eyes widened saucer-like as Jackson signed a football jersey and handed it to him. Then, in full view of every bully in America, he gave the boy his cell phone number.

From that day forward Khoury has been only a call away from his personal bodyguards. Thugs think twice before they harass the kid who has an NFL football player’s number on speed dial.

Pretty good offer. Who wouldn’t want that type of protection?

God gives you the same promise. In fact, the writer of Hebrews quoted the words in his epistle:

For [God] has said, ‘I will never leave you or forsake you.’ So we can say with confidence, ‘The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can anyone do to me?’ — Hebrews 13:5-6

Now Jacob went out from Beersheba and went toward Haran. So he came to a certain place and stayed there all night, because the sun had set. And he took one of the stones of that place and put it at his head, and he lay down in that place to sleep. Then he dreamed, and behold, a ladder was set up on the earth, and its top reached to heaven; and there the angels of God were ascending and descending on it.Genesis 28:10‭-‬12 

*Jacob’s story is a testimony to divine, unexpected, unrequested, undeserved kindness.

Do you know such grace?

God’s grace isn’t only as good as you are. God’s grace is as good as He is.

God’s grace isn’t available just on Sundays. It claims every tick of the clock.

He set out from Beersheba to go to Mesopotamia (modern-day Turkey): 550 miles.

In the first two days he traveled forty-three miles from Beersheba to Bethel, a barren moorland that lay about eleven miles north of Jerusalem. 

Jacob turned his pillow into a pillar and renamed the place of his pain. The stone pillow, a symbol of all he lacked, became a holy pillar, a memorial to all he found. The land was a windswept badland no longer. It was a place of God.

What is your version of a stone pillow? What reminds you of mistakes you’ve made, things you’ve lost? 

What is your version of a desert? 

An empty house? A hospital room? Or loneliness? 

The promise of Jacob and Bethel is this: the Lord is in the wilderness, in the despair, in the misery, mess, and mayhem, and in broken hearts. 

God will meet you in this unwanted and unwelcome waypoint. With his help your pillow will become a pillar; your barren land will become a place of worship. God will speak, angels will come, and you will soon declare: “The Lord is in this place, and I did not know it."

When you are at your lowest, God is watching over you from the highest. 

May this day be a day of your encounter with God.. With prayers......

Nearer, my God, to thee, nearer to thee!
E'en though it be a cross that raiseth me,
still all my song shall be,
nearer, my God, to thee;

2. Though like the wanderer, the sun gone down,
darkness be over me, my rest a stone;
yet in my dreams I'd be
nearer, my God, to thee;
nearer, my God, to thee, nearer to thee!

3. There let the way appear, steps unto heaven;
all that thou sendest me, in mercy given;
angels to beckon me
nearer, my God, to thee;
nearer, my God, to thee, nearer to thee!

4. Then, with my waking thoughts bright with thy praise,
out of my stony griefs Bethel I'll raise;
so by my woes to be
nearer, my God, to thee;
nearer, my God, to thee, nearer to thee!

5. Or if, on joyful wing cleaving the sky,
sun, moon, and stars forgot, upward I fly,
still all my song shall be,
nearer, my God, to thee;
nearer, my God, to thee, nearer to thee!

 നിന്റെ കാൽ വഴുതുവാൻ അവൻ സമ്മതിക്കയില്ല; നിന്നെ കാക്കുന്നവൻ മയങ്ങുകയുമില്ല. 

യിസ്രായേലിന്റെ പരിപാലകൻ മയങ്ങുകയില്ല, ഉറങ്ങുകയുമില്ല. യഹോവ നിന്റെ പരിപാലകൻ; യഹോവ നിന്റെ വലത്തുഭാഗത്തു നിനക്കു തണൽ. 

പകൽ സൂര്യനെങ്കിലും രാത്രി ചന്ദ്രനെങ്കിലും നിന്നെ ബാധിക്കയില്ല. യഹോവ ഒരു ദോഷവും തട്ടാതവണ്ണം നിന്നെ പരിപാലിക്കും. 

അവൻ നിന്റെ പ്രാണനെ പരിപാലിക്കും. യഹോവ നിന്റെ ഗമനത്തെയും ആഗമനത്തെയും ഇന്നുമുതൽ എന്നേക്കും പരിപാലിക്കും.

സങ്കീർത്തനങ്ങൾ 121:1‭-‬8 

ഇപ്പോൾ നിങ്ങൾ അഭിമുഖീകരിക്കുന്ന സാഹചര്യം എന്തായാലും വിശ്വാസത്തോടെ പാടുക.. 

എന്റെ സഹായം ആകാശത്തെയും ഭൂമിയെയും ഉണ്ടാക്കിയ യഹോവയിങ്കൽനിന്നു വരുന്നു.

🎵

ഉയർത്തിടും ഞാൻ എന്റെ കൺകൾ
തുണയരുളും വൻഗിരിയിൽ 
എൻസഹായം വാനം ഭൂമി 
അഖിലം വാഴും യഹോവയിൽ 

1 യിസ്രായേലിൻ കാവൽക്കാരൻ നിദ്രാഭാരം തൂങ്ങുന്നില്ല 
യഹോവയെൻ പാലകൻ താൻ ഇല്ലെനിക്കു ഖേദമൊട്ടും

 

Later, Joseph of Arimathea asked Pilate for the body of Jesus. Now Joseph was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly because he feared the Jewish leaders. With Pilate’s permission, he came and took the body away. He was accompanied by Nicodemus, the man who earlier had visited Jesus at night. Nicodemus brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about seventy-five pounds. John 19:38,39

The day when the sun darkened. The Son of God went through excruciating pain on the cross for 6 long hours. Many of His disciples feared and fled. No words can express the tears, the darkness and sadness of that day. Psalm 22 runs into the mind. 

In that most shaken hour, a man who had followed Jesus in secret took a small but bold step. He boldly went to the governor and asked for the body of Jesus. The one who had come to meet with Jesus in the night unseen by others also joined him. They laid the body of Jesus in a tomb in which no one was yet placed. 

Nevertheless, the coward Joseph became bold enough…

On the third day Jesus rose up. The tomb of Joseph became a beautiful stage of resurrection.

Are you going through a Friday? All hopes gone; A long Saturday is right before…Unaware as to what to do.

Take a step of faith for Jesus.

A small step of obedience…

In moments of darkness, in the valley of tears, like Joseph of Arimathea, a small beginning.

Right now… Today itself…

The morning of resurrection is near.

Be quick.

 

അനന്തരം, യെഹൂദന്മാരെ പേടിച്ചിട്ടു രഹസ്യത്തിൽ യേശുവിന്റെ ഒരു ശിഷ്യനായിരുന്ന അരിമഥ്യയിലെ യോസേഫ് യേശുവിന്റെ ശരീരം എടുത്തു കൊണ്ടുപോകുവാൻ പീലാത്തൊസിനോട് അനുവാദം ചോദിച്ചു; പീലാത്തൊസ് അനുവദിക്കയാൽ അവൻ വന്ന് അവന്റെ ശരീരം എടുത്തു. ആദ്യം രാത്രിയിൽ അവന്റെ അടുക്കൽ വന്ന നിക്കൊദേമൊസും ഏകദേശം നൂറു റാത്തൽ മൂറും അകിലും കൊണ്ടുള്ള ഒരു കൂട്ടു കൊണ്ടുവന്നു  യോഹന്നാൻ 19:38‭-‬39

 
സൂര്യൻ ഇരുണ്ടു പോയ ആ ദിവസം .ദൈവത്തിൻ്റെ പുത്രനായ യേശു ആറു മണിക്കൂർ സമയം ക്രൂശിൽ അതി ഭയങ്കരമായ വേദനയിലൂടെ കടന്നു പോയി.
അവൻ്റെ ശിഷ്യൻമാരിൽ പലരും ഭയന്ന് ഓടിപ്പോയി. വാക്കുകൾക്ക് ആ ദിവസത്തെ കണ്ണുനീരും ,ഇരുട്ടും ,സങ്കടവും വർണ്ണിപ്പാൻ കഴികയില്ല. സങ്കീർത്തനം 22 മനസ്സിലേക്ക് ഓടിയെത്തുന്നു.
ഏറ്റവും വിറങ്ങലിച്ച ആ മണിക്കൂറിൽ അന്ന് വരെ രഹസ്യത്തിൽ കർത്താവിനെ അനുഗമിച്ച ഒരുവൻ വിശ്വാസത്തിൻ്റെ ചെറിയ ഒരു കാൽചുവട് വെച്ചു. ക്രൂരനായ ദേശാധിപതിയുടെ അടുക്കൽ ധൈര്യത്തോടെ ചെന്ന് യേശുവിൻ്റെ ശരീരം ചോദിച്ചു .
രാത്രിയിൽ ആരും കാണാതെ യേശുവിനെ കാണാൻ വന്നവനും അവനോട് ചേർന്ന് നിന്നു .
ആരെയും വെച്ചിട്ടില്ലാത്ത ഒരു പുതിയ കല്ലറയിൽ അവർ യേശുവിൻ്റെ ശരീരം വെച്ചു.

എന്തായാലും ഭീരുവായ യോസേഫ് അന്ന് ധൈര്യമുള്ളവനായി....

മൂന്നാം നാൾ യേശു ഉയിർത്തെഴുന്നേറ്റു.
യോസേഫിൻ്റെ കല്ലറ ഉയിർപ്പിൻ്റെ മനോഹര വേദിയായി മാറി.

ഒരു വെള്ളിയാഴ്ചയുടെ അവസ്ഥയിലൂടെയാണോ നിങ്ങൾ ഇപ്പോൾ കടന്നു പോകുന്നത്. പ്രതീക്ഷകൾ അസ്തമിച്ചു. ദൈർഘ്യമുള്ള ശനിയാഴ്ച തൊട്ടു മുൻപിൽ.... എന്തു ചെയ്യണമെന്നറിയില്ല.

യേശുവിനായി വിശ്വാസത്തിൻ്റെ ഒരു കാൽച്ചുവടു് മുൻപോട്ട്  വെയ്ക്കുക .
അനുസരണത്തിൻ്റെ ഒരു ചെറിയ കാൽവെപ്പ്....
ഇരുട്ടിൻ്റെ അവസ്ഥകളിൽ, കണ്ണീരിൻ്റെ താഴ്വരയിൽ അരിമത്യക്കാരനായ യോസേഫിനെപ്പോലെ ഒരു ചെറിയ തുടക്കം..
ഇപ്പോൾ തന്നെ ... ഇന്ന് തന്നെ...
ഉയിർപ്പിൻ്റെ പ്രഭാതം അടുത്തിരിക്കുന്നു.
വേഗമാകട്ടെ!

 *There is a story of a youngster who was shooting rocks with a slingshot. He could never hit his target. As he returned to Grandma's backyard, he spied her pet duck. On impulse he took aim and let fly. The stone hit, and the duck was dead. The boy panicked and hid the bird in the woodpile, only to look up and see his sister watching.

After lunch that day, Grandma told Sally to help with the dishes. Sally responded, "Johnny told me he wanted to help in the kitchen today. Didn't you Johnny?" And she whispered to him, "Remember the duck!" So, Johnny did the dishes.

What choice did he have? For the next several weeks he was at the sink often. Sometimes for his duty, sometimes for his sin. "Remember the duck," Sally'd whisper when he objected.

So weary of the chore, he decided that any punishment would be better than washing more dishes, so he confessed to killing the duck. "I know, Johnny," his grandma said, giving him a hug. "I was standing at the window and saw the whole thing. Because I love you, I forgave you. I wondered how long you would let Sally make a slave out of you."

He'd been pardoned, but he thought he was guilty. Why? He had listened to the words of his accuser.

You have been accused as well. You have been accused of dishonesty. You've been accused of immorality. You've been accused of greed, anger, and arrogance.

  Go to, Jesus now, confess your sin to Him

Repent and tell Jesus to cleanse with His precious blood shed on the cross. He will forgive... Amen.. 

Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, “Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down.

Revelation 12:10 

But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

I John 1:7‭, ‬9
