CELEBRATIONS?

God calls us to celebrate not for tradition’s sake but for spiritual reasons. We are to be thankful for the great grace and His merciful forgiveness. Luke 15:24. In this time of celebrating, we should think of all those things, small and large, that the Lord Jesus has done for us since last year! We should thank Him even if we have done so already and even more if we have not!

Celebrations such as Easter are a good time to spend with family, showing the light of Jesus amongst them, where dinners and sharing in spiritual experiences is a good thing! Jesus Himself, during His ministry participated in celebrations! We see it clearly in John 2, where He attended a wedding with the disciples, and that’s where He turned the water into wine, the first sign of the beginning of His ministry with miracles! We see feasts such as Passover and Easter, which we are celebrating at this moment, in which we remember God’s special ways with us. In both feast we celebrate the many great miracles God did for us ! So if we celebrate with the right attitude, to remember the many blessings God has bestowed upon us, and to show His love to others who might not have found it yet, then we are to celebrate!

And of course, the greatest thing we should remember and celebrate with thanksgiving to God is for sending His Son, Jesus Christ, to die at the cross by shedding His blood for the forgiveness of our sins! We are to be thankful to Jesus for having taken the ultimate act of obedience, His death! “The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” 1 Corinthians 15: 56-57. But He rose from the dead on the third day!

THANK YOU, LORD

Thank You Lord
That we can celebrate this season with joy!
Remind us that while we pray
We should be giving thanks! FOR YOU ARE RISEN FROM DEATH!
“But in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.” Philippians 4:6.

Katba ka histori Khristan ka nangroi, la tip ia ka kyrteng ‘Jisu’ kum ‘U Yahweh U long ka Jingpynim’. Na ki jingmut jong ka Testament Barim shaphang U Trai, U Nongsiewspah, U Nongpyllaitluid, U Blei, la pynkylla ia kine ki jingmut sha U Jisu bad kumno ki Khristan ki ngeit ha U. 1 Hooid, hadien, ngi iohi mynta ia U Jisu kum U Nongpyllait bad U Nongsiewspah na ka pop bad ka jingdum ba kynja mynsiem, Uba la pynmih snam ha ka diengphna khnang ban siew ia ki pop jong ngi, lada ngi ngeit! Bad ba U long tang ma U ka lynti sha U Blei! Te U long U Nongpynim jong ngi!

Ngi donkam mynta ban don ka jingshem ba la kha pat khnang ban don ka jingiadei bad U! Ha u Ioannis 3:3,16 ka ong: “ ‘U Jisu u la jubab bad u la ong ha u, ‘shisha shisha, nga ong ha me, lymda kha pat ia uno uno, un ym lah ban iohi ia ka hima U Blei’….’Namar U Blei u la ieit katta katta ia ka pyrthei haduh ba u la aiti noh ia la u Khun ba la kha marwei, ba uno uno ruh uba ngeit ha U un ym jah noh ha U Ioannis1: 25-26 ka ong: “ U Jisu u la ong ha ka, ‘Nga Nga long ka jingmihpat bad ka jingim: Uta uba ngeit ha Nga, wat la un iap, un im, bad uno uno uba im bad uba ngeit ha Nga un ym iap lano lano ruh. Hato phi ngeit ia kane?’ “
