Whose side Jesus is on?
Sometimes, when one sees u as a weird for the fact that u r always a controversial issue to them, u might felt the world is upside down or feeling a periodic bout of desertion among all living souls on earth; especially if u r currently involved with any legal matter or family struggle. Moreover if u r a Christian, u r prompt to ask yourself "Is God ,your mighty creator on your side" or espcially your adversaries not a beliver of Christ,"Is God on their side". This pertinient question is always in mind and including myself. Thus a person might become a desspressive personality.
Today I came accross the following passage from my research work which I normally did while feeling deserted with sadness and sorrow.
Is Jesus on your side, fellow believer? Or is He on the side of those who oppose you and other believers? I am guessing most Christians feel as though Jesus is on their side. Surely He would not be on the side of an enemy who embraces injustice or iniquity, right? What I am about to say may sound like I am splitting hairs, but it isn’t: Jesus isn’t on your side… and He isn’t on their side either! Please read the passage below:
“When Joshua was by Jericho, he lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, a man was standing before him with his drawn sword in his hand. And Joshua went to him and said to him, “Are you for us, or for our adversaries?” And he said, “No; but I am the commander of the army of the Lord. Now I have come.” And Joshua fell on his face to the earth and worshiped and said to him, “What does my lord say to his servant?” – Joshua 5:13-14
If u r an understanding type of guy, u will understand that Joshua, being chosen people of God, God did not stand on his side either. Instead, God makes Joshua a stronger people to go forth. It clearly stated that God is on His own side, period.
Those who dare to rebel and make themselves His enemies are destined for destruction. Those of us who have been purchased by His blood don’t have Him on our side… instead, we have been brought onto His side! It is crucial we understand this and humbly accept the fact that we are not the focal point of our Lord’s actions throughout the Earth. We are His subjects, and as such you & I are on His side (if we truly are His redeemed) for the remainder of eternity. But do not for one second think that our Lord is behind you in your struggles! If He is behind you, then the term “Lord” can hardly be used, can it? We must always be behind Him as we follow and submit to those things that He, in His wisdom and love, has allowed to enter our lives (even the bitter struggles). Fight on, Christian soldier! Not because you have the strength of your Lord behind you, but because He has redeemed you, gone before you and calls you unto Himself while at the same time accompanying you along the way! Thus makes us a stronger person in Christ despite off all adversaries.
Time is the most valuable resources, a precious commodity and precious asset on earth. Without it, where will we be? Therefore, do not spend it but use it wisely and efficiently to maximize our opportunities and dreams, hence manage and balance our time to our priority.
