Proclaim the Omnipresent - (Exodus:7,8)

EXODUS-7, 8
The indication given in this chapter of how God hardened Parohs heart and let Moses bring each and every curse upon Egypt, speaks of the reality of how God defeated every evil goddess in its own land and brought out His chosen people without any curse or bondage attached to them. He got His people in all purity.
Why was God so particular in destroying the other pagan Gods? will it be not okay just to tell His people not to follow these People made Gods? Why will He have to be so rooted in wiping away the very core of the existence of any other God?
God is a jealous God. He considered and still considers His chosen seed as His own asset and it could be because of that may be He was able to tolerate the people when they complained about water and food but not when they proclaimed other goddesses through the making of the bull.
Is it the same with us? we in the pretext of social communion try to accept other's belief but how far does God accept this?
Christianity is not to get past the normality of life. It never asks one to behave abnormally but still when it becomes to proclaiming the Omnipresence of God ...God is jealous. His journey in Exodus tells of His mighty love and His expectations on us.
It is our duty not to proclaim other goddess and stand firm on the reality that HE is omnipresent and only God , the God of moses , Issac...

Love HIM more - (luke:7)

LUKE :7
God so loved the world that He gave His only son. In the cadre of falling both His angels and men took equal chances. But what could have made God to pay such high price only for Human beings and not His fallen angels?. The angels would definitely be a step ahead of man (being the more acclaimed to sing praise and glory to God)...if it's so why God didn't want to get them back? Why He wanted to get the Human beings to be back on track?.
If Lucifer never wanted to get saved, so was man, in all evil ways...he went against God. But God chose to save us than His fallen angels as "He loved us more than them". Thus we owe more to God than to devil. In verse 37-50 Jesus speaks of a woman who sinned and who when forgiven poured the costliest perfume on Jesus's feet. To explain the significance Jesus speaks of a man who forgave and the very act of forgiveness.
This emphasize that the one who was forgiven more should owe more. when we were forgiven 'with' a high price as it is quoted in verse 42, 43 by Jesus man should love Him more.
There are more times when we fall a prey to satan...which is natural but on no condition we are becoming one (satan) thus we should take the forgiveness what God gave us, proclaim it and start over our journey again, for we are more bound to love Him having taken the highest position in His priority list.

WHY COULD SIMON CARRY AND NOT JESUS?


What could be the purpose that God destined Simon to share the cross with Christ?. In the Gesthsemene garden Jesus prayed that this suffering be taken away if God wills it to be so but then He was made to suffer. At this juncture many can have two possible questions 1. Why is that Jesus alone could not bear it when Simon carried it? 2. Today's world has thrusted more pain than this to an individual man , in cases like military torture, kidnapping and torturing etc but why say that Jesus's pain alone could save us?
God uses Simon, a representative of man, to say to our mind what difference the cross had between a man and Jesus.
Jesus could not bear it, He fell down three times but on the other hand Simon carried it. All of us think as cross as more of a wood that is been thrusted on Him. But the reality is that it is not the woody cross that meant the pain of bearing but it is our sins and the heaviness of what satan had made so special for only Jesus to bear and suffer. If the cross and the suffering means same to all of us then why alone God would have send His only son? Yes it is all for this one special cross that no body on earth could ever even feel. The reality of what the cross meant was revealed only to Jesus and that is why Simon could carry it in ease while Jesus couldn't. Satan had swapped so much of torture in that one cross, just that Jesus would suffer in silence that which no man on world could ever have borne. A question to ponder. Would satan have declared such lawful war that man would still keep believing him?. He had deceived man to look Jesus's suffering as more of a common place affair there by getting the axe right at the base of faith that Jesus suffered for our sins.
Thus what ever we saw Jesus undergo is just the tip of an iceberg. The reality is divine secret. Thus believe in God , in Jesus, in the Holy spirit and in the true sole reality that Jesus did suffer for our sins which we had have never borne. He saved us suffering in silence, he redeemed us going through the unimagined severity of pain
