I want to be at Holy places

1. Could you pls explain “Which he has given to me on the Cross–？” this sentence in this song?
Also tell listeners what did Jesus do in Cross.

When we read the bible we find the story of creation in the book of Genesis one and two.

The last of the creation was the human being and God created the human being for to have fellowship with him and put him in the garden Eden.

In contrast to the animals which react by instinct, God gave the human being an own will.

He can decide to be with God and obey or disobey. the only commandment which was in the Garden Eden was not to eat from the tree of knowledge and to live by his own will and without God.
God said, the consequence of this will be, that he has to die. First spiritually, than physical.

In Genesis 3 human beings were fooled by the enemy of God which appeared in the body of a snake and they ate the forbidden fruit.

God hates the sin, but he loves the sinner. Therefor he promised a redeemer which was his own son. In Genesis we read “He will bruise the head of the snail and the snail shalt bruise his heel. “

In Romans 6,23 we read: For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

We are guilty to death by our sins. But Jesus took our place at the cross and payed the price for us.

I think the chinese symbol for love is interesting: There are three strokes above, than a seperation stroke, und the seperation stroke a cross with a stroke that is similar to a human being beside it.

So I think we all know, that nobody has more love than Jesus for us and he says in his word: Nobody has more love than him, that gives his life for his friends.

2. “And now I am a child of God” when you become a child of God. What is the feeling in your heart at that holy moment? Pls share the joyful feelings to our listeners.

God owns all in the universe. Even there are humans who hold many things in their hands, at the end they belong to God, because nobody can take something with him, when he dies.

When I am a child of my father in heaven, I live spiritually in his house. When I have a need or would like to have something, I have can pray for it and he considers if it is good or bad for me and if it is good for me, of course he gives it to me.

But like all good parents, he sends me to the school of live, but under his supervision. He is not like the demons and powers of the darkness who want to destroy us. He gives us tests and sometimes difficulties, which make we grow and come to a deeper understanding of his love and grace for us.

But the most important is the relationship. When I pray to my father in heaven or glorify him with a worship song, my heart is full of joy even there may be no reason for it.

And as God is a person. He feels joy and happiness, too, when I come and sing for him.

3. Pls talk about the differences between: “ Believe in myself” and “ Believe in the god”

What is the difference between them?

When I believe in myself, I will sooner or later meet my limits. People say, it is normal that we all have to pass the midlife crisis. So a lot of people fall in depression or a moodchange when they come to the middle of their life.

And what happens, when I get sick. We are so fragile, a simple accident can change our whole life, when we have to spent it in a bed, not able to raise up.

And the good question is, what will I do with my faults, let us call it sins. When we are honest, the balance of the things we do well and do bad is, that we do more things bad than well. I talk about bad thoughts and things that we should have done and we did not, too. If there is a pointsystem for what we did good and what we did wrong, we are not very good of.

But then Jesus comes and says: Come all here to me in Matthew 11.

Come unto me all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn of me for I am meek and lowly in heart and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.

And that is exactly what we need, when we have to work a lot and struggle with so much problems in our life. A resting place at the feet of Jesus who invites us to come.

4. Love is contribution. When you did a lot in the life but other people didn’t cherish what you done. At this moment, what will Jesus tell you? Let you give up or continue on contribution to others.

The good question is, what I expect. The bible says there is nobody who does well, no one. So I can t expect of imperfect people that they give me a reward.

We read in Matthew 13 the story of the sower who sows out seed.

He does not care what happens with the seed even three parts of the seed where sowed out without any result. One part fell on the way, one part on the rocks, one part under the thorns and only one part gave fruit.

So we should not ask what happens if we do something the Lord wants us to do. Just go on with the work and the Lord knows what will happen to the seed.

And the reward for all the work will come in heaven, when Jesus will give us a crown for all the work we have done for him here on earth.

5. “Sometimes it costs to die

Soon I will see Christ”- Humans feel scared of dying. When we must end our lives someday,
Will you feel scared and worried?

First I have to explain something important. If we have received Jesus Christ as our redeemer, we are a new creation in him as we can read in second Corinthians 5,17.

The only problem is, that we still live in our earthly body, which the bible calls flesh, which would like to sin as before, if we allow.

So we have to give food to the new creation which is in us and not to the earthly flesh. We do this by reading the bible and by praying daily and search community with other christions.

It is not always easy to obey to the Lord. This is the reason why I sang in my song, sometimes it costs to die.

When you ask me about the death here on earth, I am not scared. I think I won t feel very much when I die. It is like to be born, which is a dramatic situation for the baby.

I will change my environment of living, but I won t feel much of the process of changing the environment and when I arrive in heaven, I already will have forgotten, that I died.

One reason why people are scared of dieing is, that they are frightened of to be punished, on the other side or in their next life.

But first of all, I know that Jesus payed the bill that I left here on earth and I will go to heaven. And second: The bible describes heaven as a wonderful place: There will be no illness or pain, there will be no crying, only wellbeing, we will walk on golden streets, we will not suffer of hot or cold weather, nothing.

So when the years on earth pass by, I know that my redeemer lives and has a very good and holy place and home for me when life here ends.
