JESUS 33 ADVENT ENCOUNTER RETREAT DAY -5 – PLAN OF SALVATION

PLAN OF SALVATION

Ephesians 1:4-5 ⁴For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love ⁵he predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will…

God wanted to share his love & glory with some beings and God creates Human Beings in his own image and likeness through his Word and breathes his breath of spirit in him. God gives the human the entire Creation as gift to glorify God in Praise & Worship. We can call this as God’s pregnancy to form the Human Being. God wanted the Human exactly like him because God wanted someone can reflect like him as his own Son. The pregnancy of God starts with three steps formation, Maturity and Purity.

God’s formation starts with the Creation and matures with testing with a rival enemy Evil and purifies with the precious blood of his own Son Jesus Christ.

The fall of Man is the result of one of the tests of Salvation plan because God did not want something from creation to be his own which was made but begotten and to do this transformation, human had to go through the test and this test is called the fall of Man. Also, God wanted someone who has overcome the Evil in a visible World and who will not crave for evil in eternity and forever share his love and glory of God. The salvation must have delayed due to the fall of Man and will continue till the end of God’s Pregnancy of Salvation.

Jesus Christ is the Visible sign of Salvation who became a part of Creation and purified the Creation through his Gospel of light, the Faith in Jesus and live forever. Jesus elevated the Creation by grafting in to his own Human Body and transformed it to Divine Body. Jesus did this by proclamation of Gospel, Repentance to change from the Visible things including Sins & World & flesh and trust in him by faith & love.

To fulfil this Jesus descended the love of God the Holy spirit upon the faithful who could see Jesus and Father through the grace of the Holy spirit. When we accept the Salvation of Jesus in our life and receive the Spirit of God, we take birth as Sons & Daughters of God. If we remain in communion of Father, Son and Holy spirit by rejecting the World, Sin and flesh and die in our Carnal Body we get united to him forever & ever as his Children, where we will be sharing the love and glory of God. This is the purpose of Salvation and purpose of God making human on this World. The Salvation of God is so precious which is the aim and only goal of man ,which has to be lived in detail and every moment  of our life so that we may not lose our Salvation.

 

 

 

 

JESUS 33 ADVENT ENCOUNTER RETREAT

HEAVEN & EARTH

The Earth is the beginning of the Journey to Heaven and Heaven is the destination of our journey. This journey starts with the creation and ends with the encounter and life with Jesus and his Spirit. The director and Creator of this journey of life is God himself.  God creates the Earth and puts man with in his own image and the race of faith begins on this Earth.

The Earth is the platform to a spiritual World called Heaven. God wants to convert this Visible World to the invisible World Heaven. This is the plan of Salvation, the visible platform of creation the Earth with Human Beings await to meets its Creator in the form of Creation, Jesus Christ.  In short, the Heaven represent the invisible Spirit called God and Earth represent all visible things of this World. Jesus grafted the entire Creation through his Worldly Body and transformed it in to a Heavenly Body or Heaven.

This is the reason Jesus had to become Human and live the life of the Human and offer this life as a sacrifice to God the Father to transform it to Divine Body the Heaven.

A person who lives a life of this Earth is called Earthly and a Person who lives as per the Gospel Values or with Jesus is called Heavenly.   Thus, Heaven is life with Jesus or his Values. Anything other than Jesus and his values is Earth.

 

 

JESUS 33 ADVENT ENCOUNTER RETREAT DAY – 3

  NATURAL LAW

Romans 2:14–15

¹⁴ For when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law. ¹⁵ They show that the work of the law is written on their hearts, while their conscience also bears witness, and their conflicting thoughts accuse or even excuse them.

Today’s Subject of Natural Law is of more of Philosophical & Theological in argument. But as we go through our spiritual journey from the creation, it is very important to understand the original nature of man. When Human Being was created, God stamped his image in to Human which is called Human Spirit. The image of God was downloaded in to the Conscience of Human and Human became a Divine human being which gave him mastery over other animals and creation. Thus, human could reason his activities through the inspiration of the human spirit called Conscience.  The nature of God was resembled in human and was not accessed to shame, guilt or vices of Evil. Human was in full communion with God because Human was created in the image or Characters of God.

This Natural Law remained suppressed in human despite of non-Communion with God or living a life against its inspiration of the Human Spirit.  We have question in our mind, how come sinners and people who do not believe God are able to identify the difference between good and bad.  Also, how these people are successful and after they die where their Soul will reach… All people have the same creator, but due to the confusion in the journey of life some have either completely forgotten the Creator Consciously but in their Unconscious Spirit, the inherited Spirit of the image of God lives in each Human. This image of God may suppress from different beliefs, cultures, civilisations or self-intelligence but the voice of the Conscience prompts every person when he or she goes against the nature of God. This Voice is the evidence of the presence of God in their life and an evidence on the last day when people will be judged for the good and bad.  The people who have not accepted Jesus in their life will be judged as per this standard of this Natural Law.  There will not be grace of Salvation available to these souls and they must advocate themselves in front of throne of Justice.  There will be Evil advocates claiming these souls and they will too accuse to these souls for not accepting the light of the Gospel.   The same applies to so called Christians who have not lived their life as per the light of the Gospel and not availed the grace of the Holy spirit. When we reject the Holy spirit and prefer to live a life in our own understanding, we are subject to Natural Law.

When Civil Authorities or Governments or Corporates reject the voice of the Natural Law and follow the Majority of the World, they go against the Natural Law and God. When a Man or Woman goes against the voice of the Conscience, they lose the reasoning and superiority over the creation and live like a modern animal. Their instinct, emotions, thoughts turn in to like an animal. When Country or Society go against the grace of the Natural Law, they bring the curse of the absence of grace in their lives and in the life of next generation. This is the exact definition for ancestral Curse. Accepting Jesus as Lord and Master removes this Curse and once again the grace of Salvation enters in to the family.  Many people suffer due to complete absence of God’s grace in their life for no fault of theirs but this is the way the Creation works in absence of God and God makes every effort through Church, Prophets, Evangelisers, Circumstances to reach out to these people and fill them with grace.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

JESUS 33 ADVENT ENCOUNTER RETREAT

                               CREATOR & Human Being

As per the Scriptures, man was created in God’s image and God created them Male & Female. God made all things through his two arms called Word -Jesus and Spirit- Holy spirit.  First Man was made in the image of Father, Son and the Holy spirit. Adam the first man was resembled Father, Son and the Holy spirit. God stamped his soul in to man as a mark of his inheritance. Thus, first man was a Divine Human Being. God put all things of this World under his stewardship so that through the Creation Man may give glory to God.

God wanted to manifest his glory upon Human Beings and thus he made humans in his own image. Man has a Soul and Body. The body was made from the dust of this Earth and God breathed the Holy spirit in to the nostrils of Adam and made the Human Soul a spirit filled soul.

As per my reflection all God’s Work has been challenged by the Evil forces since Devil is against God’s works and preferred to live in darkness without the light of God. God takes this challenge and puts Man in the Garden of Eden to be tempted by the Devil.

St. Paul speaks of the fallen nature of Adam and not of the original form of Adam who was created in the image of God. God made Man & Woman in his image and likeness. The sexual orientation did not exist before God made Woman.  God formed the Sacrament of Marriage by creating Woman from the ribs of Man and became the first priest to bless this marriage of procreation.  Adams exclamation of “Bone of my Bone and flesh of my flesh “when he looked at Eve for the first time, was the love at first sight and first love song of the Creation.

God did not make one more man and put beside Adam when he was feeling lonely but gave him a Woman and thus sexual orientation came in to being. This is the reason the Scriptures says what God has united man does not have any right to divide or modify or amend.

God knows all the Challenges, Man has from the Creation till the end of the Earth and always present beside every soul at every moment of their life because this journey of Salvation does not only belong to Man but began with God and his love for his own Children the Human Beings. God calls every human being to cooperate with him by obeying him & love him.  Man owns the Whole World as a gift of the loving Father, so we need to be thankful for everything to God. When Man forgets the glory of God and follows the Creation, he misses the target and sins against his own Creator and distances himself from God his Creator.

 

 

JESUS 33 ADVENT ENCOUNTER RETREAT DAY-1

                                                                                                        

                         CREATOR & CREATION 

 Ephesians 1:4 -For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love.

God is love and Almighty and can be reached out only with one to one personal relationship which is called Faith.  God is not a myth or a magic, but a supernatural power called love always lives with in the Human Beings. God is not living in the third Heaven but within the Community of People the Church. The Picture of heaven in the Visions is a foretaste of New Heaven to come un to us. All souls in Purgatory and saints live in the presence of God which we call Heaven, life after death.

 

The Scriptures or the Word of God the Bible is the collection of experiences of People of God who have experienced God in their normal life and made a difference in the World. The Scriptures are only the testimonies of people of God who have tried to explain how God felt or can be experienced in our life. When we meditate these experiences and make these experiences our own experiences, we make the Works of God once again alive and active in our life.

 

The Scriptures are the only records we can study and understand the creator and Creation. The Scientists, Philosophers and Theologians give only speculations or theories which are not hundred percent accurate or proved because no one can go to the past and speculate the things which are felt only through Human relationship and experience. God can not be experimented through Physics or speculated his behaviour through Philosophy or understand his moral ways by Theology because God is beyond the reach of Human Intelligence and can be understood by one to one relationship.

 

As per the Scriptures, in the beginning millions of years ago there was Chaos and darkness in the Nothingness and the Spirit of God was hovering above the darkness.  God spoke and dispelled the darkness and Chaos of this nothingness and Created the Universe. God saw that all things of the Creation are good and blessed them.

 

Creation is the gift of love from the Father to his chosen People. This gift was created by him through his Word – Jesus and working of the Holy spirit. The Holy Trinity was fully involved in the foundation or construction of the Creation.

 

The purpose of Creation is Salvation. The word of God says the Salvation was planned by God before the foundation of the Creation. The Creation is the beginning of the salvation work and Human was the Key figure in the Salvation history who was created in the image of God.

 

As per my reflection Heaven must have corrupted due to the rebellion of Lucifer and one third of the Angels and God wanted to create a New Heaven through his Son Jesus Christ and Holy spirit. Human Beings were created as God’s own Sons so that they may over come the Evil of this World who were thrown down from heaven and living in the place of nothingness of Darkness. Also God wanted his sons to fight the Evil and be holy as he is holy so that in the New Heaven to come there is no repetition to rebellion or evil craving as it was in the Old Heaven.

 

The plan of Salvation was the plan of eternity.  Lucifer and his angels are the Creation of God and must subject to him in all their activities so evil need not to be feared in our life if God is within us. God is Omnipotent and infinite, so God does not have any limit to time, space or circumstances. As per my reflection God views the entire universe from the Beginning of the Creation till the end of Creation in one glance just like we see a scenery in a painting or a Trailer on a TV.

God is able reroute our lost destination and lead us to the write destination just like an Electronic Navigation system. There is no hurry in reaching the destination but what is important is we follow the reroute and reach the right destination sooner or later. The time does not matter but walking with our Master what matters and we will reach the destination if we trust him without any doubt.

 

When we reflect upon the love of God in our life through Scriptures & Sacraments, the mysteries of the Kingdom of God are revealed to us and we can go to the past before the Creation of the World and even to the end of Creation. When we unite with God, we can access the Wisdom and Power of God and kingdom which teaches us everything of the Past, present and the future.

 

If we want to discover God, we need to do only one thing to build a relationship with him and meditate on his Works through the Word of God and Traditions of the Church and live a life according to the Works of the Holy spirit. God has not spoken to his people only through Bible or through Church but speaks to us every moment of our life. This life is called life in the Spirit of God. This is the purpose of the Creation. God even speaks through the Creation, through its goodness.

 

When Calamities, famine or sickness strike the Creation we must ask the Creator, Lord what is wrong in the Creation which was created good and with your blessing and the Lord will answer us to repent or change and be united to him in faith and love. God is all powerful and very close to us and there is nothing impossible for God, have full faith in God and be right with God and live a life in abundance and in the full Glory of God.

Walking with the Spirit of God

Tuesday of the 33rd Week of Ordinary Time
November 20, 2018

Today’s Readings:

Revelation 3:1-6, 14-22
Ps 15:2-5 (with Rev. 3:21)
Luke 19:1-10
www.usccb.org/bible/readings/112018.cfm

‘Behold, I stand at the door and knock.
If anyone hears my voice and opens the door,
then I will enter his house and dine with him,
and he with me.
I will give the victor the right to sit with me on my throne,
as I myself first won the victory
and sit with my Father on his throne.

“‘Whoever has ears ought to hear
what the Spirit says to the churches.’

 

Today’s readings draw a clear line between Worldly life and spiritual life. The Worldly life brings eternal death to our soul and to our day today life but spiritual life brings eternal life to our soul and to our day today life.

Jesus who has won the Victory over the Sin has given us the light of the Gospel to accept in our life in faith and obedience. We come across the Body of Christ knocking at the door of our heart through various people, circumstances, promptings, Scriptures, Words of Wisdom so on to change our life according to the Gospel. This process of change of our attitude is called repentance. When we change our self-attitude and accept the Beatitudes of Jesus in faith, the light of the Gospel starts shining through us in the form of the God’s love the Holy spirit. Holy spirit is the evidence or proof of God’s presence in our life. This includes all the Gifts, Fruits, Charisms in action which is called Church the Body of Christ. The Holy spirit leads us to the journey of perfection but does not force us to perfection. This journey with the Holy spirit is called life in the Spirit.

If our actions are contrary or partial to the actions of the Holy spirit then we invite one more Spirit of evil in our lives. This life is called lukewarm Christian life. The Spirit of God vomits out these kinds of Souls from his sacred heart because the spirit of God is Holy, humble and meek in nature and can not compromise with the Spirit of Sin.

Most of the Christians in the Earlier Churches were of these kinds and in the Book of Revelation God speaks to his people to repent and change their life and be united to him body mind and soul. This is the reason Jesus formed the Holy Eucharist to get united with him physically, mentally and spiritually. If any part of our life is not with Jesus, then this union cause great pain to the Spirit of God.

Repentance or change in our attitude is not a process of thinking but is a faith in action. The Gospel says Zacchaeus the Corrupt tax collector changed his attitude of corruption and became generous by paying back with interest what he had acquired in unjust way. This does not apply only for a person who is counting his last breath and want to repent for his Sins, but these souls must walk with the spirit of God in the place of purification the Purgatory. God’s mercy is beyond measure and he want every single soul of this World to be saved and be enthroned with him in eternal glory in Heaven and even on this Earth.  Thus, Spiritual life is a journey from self-attitude through the beatitudes of Jesus to the final destiny of perfection. We are the Contemporary Church of today and the spirit of God cries out to us to open the door of our attitude and receive the light of the Gospel the Holy spirit.

 

 

 

TRUE CHRISTIANS ARE PEOPLE WHO REFLECT THE BEATTITUDES OF CHRIST

A Reflection for:

Wednesday of the 31st Week of Ordinary Time
November 7, 2018

Today’s Readings:

Philippians 2:12-18
Ps 27:1, 4, 13-14
Luke 14:25-33

Everyone of you who does not renounce all his possessions
cannot be my disciple.

If we love the World, we become the enemy of God. True Christian is the one who keeps his one eye on the World and other eye on Jesus. Christian life can be compared to a Soldier who tries to walk on the land full of hidden mines, he must check every step with the detector before he steps in to the next step. Today the creation has lost the flavour of God their Creator and living in the power of self will. The nature itself is groaning with pain for the Salvation.

Every Christian is a Priest who walks on the land and destroys the spell of Worldly possession and spread love & charity the essence of God on this Earth. Every Baptised Christian has Vows, he has a Vow of Priesthood, Vow of Prophesy, Vow of Kingship.  If a Christian does not keep these Vows of Worship, Proclamation and Charity then he can not be called as Christian because he does not believe in his Baptism and identity.

Today the Christian life has become a fancy life , no one knows their real identity. Some Christians create their own Christian identity as per their conveniences and call themselves Christians. A Christian is the one who keeps the Values of Jesus at the centre of his life, he will not compromise these values at any circumstances , not even at the point of Physical death or persecutions because these values worth much more than the Worldly Values of life. These kinds of people are humble, insulted, persecuted, poor in Spirit but rich in the Kingdom of God. They embrace the Crosses of Suffering as a sweet sacrifice and offer it Jesus who has become the role model of suffering by sacrificing his life on the Cross.

Jesus does not care for the cost of the discipleship but he cares for your soul because he does not want  to lose a single soul on this Earth. If we are living a life according to our Baptism let recognise our identity and live as Priests of worship, Prophets of Proclamation of the Gospel in words & deeds , Kings of love and Charity and transform this Earth in to Heaven. when we live this life , our life will reflect the Eight Beatitudes of Christ and the mysteries of Christ Jesus  & Kingdom of God will be revealed to us on this Earth.

 

 

 

There is plenty of place in the Heart of Jesus.

Tuesday of the 31st Week of Ordinary Time

Philippians 2:5-11

Go out to the highways and hedgerows
and make people come in that my home may be filled.

We see in the Gospel of today, Jesus who was a guest at the dinner table becomes the host by inviting the people to the banquet of the Kingdom of God.

If we compare this parable to our current situations, we get many invitations to serve God in our own lives, but our selfish desires and Worldly priorities overweigh the Heavenly peace of mind. We think by achieving the success of this World but on the contrary we lose the real love , joy , peace of life which can come only through God’s  love.

We must open a Bank account of love & Charity and accumulate more & more wealth of love. This wealth of love & charity keeps us permanently in the presence of God. This Bank account of love & charity does not end in our physical death but remains for ever.

If we read the parable and reflect upon it Jesus is calling us for the Heavenly Banquet of God’s love. If we love God with all our heart , mind and Body we will love our neighbour as well because Jesus gave himself as sacrifice to the Whole World.

We can not love our neighbour by our human determination or discipline because every human act has a selfish desire in it, but when we are one with Jesus and imitate him, the love of God pours out of our heart towards our neighbour. This is the reason Jesus is calling every person of this World to come to him and be one with him because he has already saved them from Sin and made a room in his heart to dwell for ever. This is the reason Lord Jesus is special and only saviour of the World. All other ways of life are temporary solutions and based on Law and discipline. These ways may show us the way but can not complete or reach us to the destination.

There is an urgency to force people to come to Jesus because the chosen people of God are backsliding or struck to the spell of this World. As the parable clearly says go to the Highways and Hedgerows and make people to come in to the Kingdom of God. This means we must catch their hand bring them to the Kingdom of God. we need to make or force our children to do good just like we force our children to be literate. This force is not negative but disciplinary and constructive.

Many people are losing the Kingdom of God due to the silly satisfactions of Sin. Judas betrayed Jesus for 30 Silver Coins who was so good to him through out his life and later realised his mistake how silly he was to deny the invitation to the Kingdom of God. We also may be excusing ourselves from the invitation when we get  an opportunity for a life changing retreat or  a confession or to help/forgive our neighbour . Let us search our life and if you listen to the calling of God today let us not harden out heart but listen to him and follow him. God has prepared a banquet of Heaven for every person of this World and expects everyone to come to him and dwell in him forever because our hearts are particles of his heart and unless and until each and every heart of this World unites with him he will not be full but always seeking the souls to fill the place.
