REFLECTIVE ANALYSIS ON THE PUBLIC MINISTRY OF JESUS

The public ministry of Jesus is the ever great ministry because it is only him can do it. It is quiet amazing the way he taught people while performing miracles. The wisdom of Christ is really the spirit of God. To proclaim the word of God is really a difficult task, because it really requires a heart burning flame of love. The ministry of Jesus is to preach and to let them know God’s unconditional love through him. Knowing God is the most important in this life and serving him is our duty why we are in this world. Jesus’ ministry is the true teaching because he practices what he preached. In the ministry of Jesus, there are so many miracles happened, its because of their great faith to him. Faith is the only way to heaven and a line that connects us to God. Jesus tells us in his ministry that we must be like him, and let us be merciful and compassionate just as the Father in heaven. He loves us very much because he never gives up bringing us to his Father.

LET US IMITATE CHRISTLIKE ATTITUDE!!!

REFLECTIVE ANALYSIS ON THE 1 CORINTHIANS

This letter is all about establishing the Christian faith among a center of population. Paul also stated here some problems in the church of Corinth. How great concern and love Paul has for the Corinthians. he never give up looking for solution of all these problems. What an incredible faith Paul have for the Lord.

How I wish to have that great faith, so that I could always offer all my work for the Lord. I know God will never forsake me just as he accompanied Paul, not physically but spiritually. I hope I could also bring many people to God. Just as Paul had converted many pagans into Christianity and most especially his own conversion.

Faithfulness is very much important especially to what and whom we believe. It is also in faith that we are saved, by keeping and believing in the Gospel .I know that believing in him, just as Paul believed is a great sense of love for him, especially on trusting him. But trusting seems useless if I do not allow the Lord to work in me. Because it is only through him that I am still alive.

GOD’S UNCONDITIONAL LOVE GIVES ME LIFE EVERYDAY!!!

REFLECTIVE ANALYSIS ON THE 2 CORINTHIANS

Humility is best virtue that I can admire from Paul. Because he was not ashamed to admit his weakness and ambitions. And he never became proud of so many praises from the people. How I wish to be like him, who is very grateful with the Lord. Paul’s experiences and encounter with God made him more faithful and in love with the Lord, through sacrificial offering and service for the people.

It is tearful for Paul, about the unfaithfulness of the people he was once taught about the word of God. Despite of so many trials of the apostolate, he never gave up preaching Christ, as long as he can. I hope I could also face all the trials and challenges that will block my way to the Lord. May I treat them as a privilege to strengthen my Faith.

Trials are not meant to crush us but to lift us up, strengthen us, and to keep us more closer to God. Just allow the Holy Spirit to work.

REFLECTIVE ANALYSIS ON THE LETTER OF JAMES

Trials and temptation are always there, its up to you on how we face and fight for it. Sometimes when trials come we ought to make panic and never ask God’s guidance. When temptations knock at our doors, we don’t allow the Lord to open it, that’s why we are get tempted. Trials and temptations can be a good tests for us to strengthen our faith. Trials are ways to realize the love of our Lord and temptations are ways to always choose Christ whatever might happen.

As a Christian, it is my duty to know, to love , to serve and be with the Lord always. It seems so difficult but if I come to nourish it with what is right and avoid wrong I can do it for the Lord. As an aspirant, I must imitate the conversion of St. Augustine through the word of God. And St. Augustine did not just read it instead he put it into practice. Sometimes the answer of our questions is just within our inner self. Our faith must be put also into practice because faith without action is dead. Respect for the poor, is an example of faith with action, because we believe that Christ love the poor and the lowly. Being aware that God is with me and always there watching and guiding me.

Unfaithfulness makes us or lead us away from God. Humility is the most important virtue to be faithful to God. Let us ask God’s guidance and grace, because he is kind and compassionate in loving us!

REFLECTIVE ANALYSIS ON THE LETTER OF JUDE

Jude is the faithful servant of God, who never give up encouraging people to fight for the faith they have. Because our faith pushes us to love because of what and whom we believe. I hope that I may never forget to choose LOVE before anything else.

But somehow there are so many false teachers, who preaches Christ but do not practice and some people followed them. Since in every bad action there is always a corresponding punishment, that’s why Jude is very much concern for the people and never stop reminding about the effect of following them. I want to imitate Jude in preaching God and fighting and strengthening the faith I have. For it is our faith that helps us to do all things out of Love.

May I live the gospel in my day to day living according to my duties of love which is to love, for the greater glory and honor of God.

THANK YOU
