My Sunday Scripture 2009.2.1.
Then they came to Capernaum, and on the sabbath he entered the synagogue and taught. The people were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as one having authority and not as the scribes. In their synagogue was a man with an unclean spirit; he cried out, "What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are--the Holy One of God!" Jesus rebuked him and said, "Quiet! Come out of him!" The unclean spirit convulsed him and with a loud cry came out of him. All were amazed and asked one another, "What is this? A new teaching with authority. He commands even the unclean spirits and they obey him." His fame spread everywhere throughout the whole region of Galilee.
Saint Mark 1,21-28.

My Reading Notes:
---------------------
I can see that the evil spirit obeyed Jesus Christ.
And I can see that evil spirits do exit somewhere.
And sometimes they will dwell on people. In the Name
of Jesus Christ, the evil spirit could be driven out.
All we need is faith.

LIGHT is the issue
My Sunday Scripture 2009.1.25
After John had been arrested, Jesus came to Galilee proclaiming the gospel of God: This is the time of fulfillment. The kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel. As he passed by the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting their nets into the sea; they were fishermen. Jesus said to them, "Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men." Then they abandoned their nets and followed him. He walked along a little farther and saw James, the son of Zebedee, and his brother John. They too were in a boat mending their nets. Then he called them. So they left their father Zebedee in the boat along with the hired men and followed him.
Saint Mark 1,14-20.
-------------------
My Reading Notes:
-------------------
I have been wondering how easy Jesus picked up his disciples. I used to thought to myself, that it will be great if I could also pick up people so easily. He just said, come after me, and people followed. What is happening in that split second? And why people can decide on such important matter so fast? How could you choose your way of life in a second?
May be this is the ultimate secret about mind functioning. If people are to decide on some thing, time is not the issue. Then what is the issue? I will say, LIGHT is the issue. Jesus has cast out light, and you take it, and you reflect on it. All it need is a split second, and things done.
And I will always ask myself: Have'nt I got the light?
Contact me, if you ever wished to discuss more.

What if the Messiah has not come
My Sunday Scripture 2009.1.18
The next day John was there again with two of his disciples, and as he watched Jesus walk by, he said, "Behold, the Lamb of God." The two disciples heard what he said and followed Jesus. Jesus turned and saw them following him and said to them, "What are you looking for?" They said to him, "Rabbi" (which translated means Teacher), "where are you staying?" He said to them,"Come, and you will see." So they went and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day. It was about four in the afternoon. Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two who heard John and followed Jesus. He first found his own brother Simon and told him, "We have found the Messiah" (which is translated Anointed). Then he brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, "You are Simon the son of John; you will be called Kephas" (which is translated Peter).
Saint John 1,35-42
My reading notes:
It used to be a legend in the past that until oneday, the Messiah will come and save the world.
Some believe, and some doesnt.
Suppose Jesun has not come as the Messiah, what is going to happen on earth?
What is the Major Problem on earth?
What is that paticular problem, that if we could face that problem, and solve that problem, then all the other problems will be solved, and we will be saved?
The Major Problem on earth is Love. We do not know love it self. Not until Jesus,
love is a very unclear concept on earth. People do not love each other. People hate
each other. Never had any one thought of loving the enemies, and the neighbours.
It is Jesus who had brought the idea to us. And this is the only idea, that can save our world, and ourselves.

He will baptise you with the holy Spirit
My Sunday Scripture 2009.1.11
I have baptized you with water, He will baptize you with the holy Spirit, (said John the Prophet)
----Saint Mark 1,7-11
-------------------------------------------------
My reading notes
We can say that, every thing has come to a change
after Christ had come to the world. John the Prophet had baptized the human beings with water, but after that, Jesus Christ baptized us with the holy Spirit.
The point is: do we have enough wisdom to handle the human affairs until now?
The channel for wisdom is opened. The remaining part is on our side.

How beautiful is the story
My Sunday Scripture 2009.1.4
When Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, in the days of King Herod, behold, magi from the east arrived in Jerusalem, saying, "Where is the newborn king of the Jews? We saw his star at its rising and have come to do him homage." When King Herod heard this, he was greatly troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. Assembling all the chief priests and the scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Messiah was to be born. They said to him, "In Bethlehem of Judea, for thus it has been written through the prophet: 'And you, Bethlehem, land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah; since from you shall come a ruler, who is to shepherd my people Israel.'" Then Herod called the magi secretly and ascertained from them the time of the star's appearance. He sent them to Bethlehem and said, "Go and search diligently for the child. When you have found him, bring me word, that I too may go and do him homage." After their audience with the king they set out. And behold, the star that they had seen at its rising preceded them, until it came and stopped over the place where the child was. They were overjoyed at seeing the star, and on entering the house they saw the child with Mary his mother. They prostrated themselves and did him homage. Then they opened their treasures and offered him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. And having been warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they departed for their country by another way.
Matthew 2,1-12.
--------------------
My Reading Notes:
In fact this is the most beautiful scene for every child.
How did the three wise men follow the star going to the place
where the young child was born? And How beautiful was the
moment when they offered three diffenent gifts to the child?
The question is why. Why do such beautiful scene could occur
to our childhood?
Yes. This is our inborn feeling, feeling that someone did had
come to our world. And the world is different from now on.
