There are many things I don’t understand in this world. With my curiosity, sometimes they are just like pain in my muscle and bone. But I know I have limit, so I just learn to live with it.
But what many times bother me is the story of the people who hate Jesus or dislike the christian. They hate if the Bible is given to their people or they dislike the story of persecution is reported. I don’t really get it.
You don’t get angry if people give you some novels, some common book. You can read it if you want, if you don’t feel like to read it, you can throw it away. But it never makes sense if you make something bad to those who give it to you.
But in the case of Christ, it’s really different. People hate you when you tell them about Christ. I don’t understand. We, or I in this case since I am the writer here, never have the idea to change people’s mind or even their faith when I tell people about my Jesus. It is just like when you fall in love and you want to let the world know about your sweetheart and how the great feeling you have now.
So it’s same with the christian. They fall in love with Jesus and they just want to tell the world about their lover. If you don’t like it, just don’t think that your neighbour also dislike it. After all, it just a love story, but a very special one, that people use to like it, it is all about Jesus.
So, why hate and even torture the christian? I know why, because we are not part of the world and Jesus has told us when He was here.
But please keep in your mind, we never mean to change people. After all, we don’t have that power. It is only the Holy Spirit-God’s spirit who will stir your heart and mind and if you want to open your heart and mind, you will have your special encounter with Him. And in the final, we will be forgotten, He forgives all the sin but He never forget the things you do in His name: your faithfulness and obedience.
So, never lose heart. And please for those who don’t really like Jesus and His disciples: the christian, we are just the special love song and love gift that you use to like them, but because this one is special, so may be you can’t accept it or you feel uncomfortable with it.
