Luke 23:34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive Them; for they want what they want do not know. And they want parted his raiment, and cast lots.
Suffering that the Lord Jesus experienced when He was crucified is tremendous pain suffering . Harshest of human suffering that Jesus ever experienced. He experienced pain until His bones.
But even if He was crucified, He still willing and conscious effort to pray for those who crucified Him. Jesus even remember His promise to bring every sinner who believes in Him to enter into the kingdom of heaven (remember!! Criminals on the right of Jesus believed that salvation and Jesus said the word which states that he entered into paradise with Him)
we must remember well! Although the pain both physically and mentally, but He was still able to pray for the people who hurt him. Jesus prayed not to pray in quite park but in front of these people.
What does this mean for us? This gives the sense that when the Lord Jesus is united within us then we should be able to pray like Jesus. We pray for those who hurt us, we might also pray when we are in a state hospital. We pray by showing a good attitude to our enemies. And this is what is called the pleasing The Father's heart
Indeed sometimes it is hard to forgive. Maybe too much bitter moments that we have spent together with our enemies. Forgive sometimes be the hardest thing throughout our lives. But we must remember that when we let go of forgiveness, the one promise of God must be fulfilled in our lives. It is : be on earth as in heaven.
God Bless you :-)
Matthew 18:23-35
18:23 Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants.
18:24 And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents.
18:25 But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.
18:26 The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
18:27 Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.
18:28 But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.
18:29 And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
18:30 And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt.
18:31 So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done.
18:32 Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me:
18:33 Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?
18:34 And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him. Likewise
18:35 So shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.
Forgiveness becomes the main thing that God taught us. to forgive is the key to successful lives. Because of the forgiving then we will release the hatred and resentment that we have. when we forgive, then truly the entire body has been cleansed of the burden of our lives.
Jesus described the kingdom of heaven with a parable about forgiveness. Forgiveness is so important to God that forgiveness is a key requirement for entry into the kingdom of heaven.
A servant owed 1000 talents to the King. If we count the talents of 1000 amounted to 6000 dinars times 1000 so the result is 6 million dinars. 1 dinar is the wage of a working 1 day so that the servant who owed it will be able to pay off debts within 16,667 years.
It's impossible, the age of the average human under 100 years. So it can be concluded that the fact that he can not afford to pay its debts.
This parable illustrates that we have a very large debt to God. But the Lord Jesus to forgive all our sins are great with the sacred blood. we could not pay our debt in any way. But we can actually respond to the love of God to forgive one another our brothers or friends who have made us hurt.
Jesus further illustrates that we forgive others is not a difficult thing. Jesus described it with debts that have only 100 dinars. of 100 dinars is the wage of a worker for 3 months 1 day. How small the value of 100 dinars, compared with the 1000 value of talent. only about 0.00006% only. So if we forgive our brothers who made the mistake means we appreciate God's forgiveness is very large in our lives
God bless you
Jhon 2:15-16
2:15 And when he had made a Scourge of Small Cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the Changers' money, and overthrew the tables;
2:16 And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise.
If we look at the verses above, it seems Jesus was angry. He drove all the merchants in the temple. He even overturned the tables of money changers. Jesus who is love at that moment really made the atmosphere in the temple to be uncomfortable for a moment. But when we look more deeply with the whole mess, Jesus wanted to cleanse the temple of the situation is not neat and clean. Jesus really loves the Father and His house. Jesus wanted the Father's house be a home that is clean, orderly and can actually be used as a place for people to meet with the Father in heaven.
Bodies we have are truly the temple of the Holy Spirit. Our bodies are physical and spiritual body is the place where the Lord Jesus to live and dwell. With our bodies we can meet with the Father in heaven. With this body we can praise and glorify the name of God and of course with this body we can convey the words of God through the light of our actions and our mouth.
Often we do not use our bodies for a spiritual things. We just use it "for sell". Switch spiritual things we should do with our sins and our laziness.We think that it's okay to do sin like that because of His expensive blood will "pay" for our sin.
Or maybe because of the difficult situation we sell our faith for some money. We left the love of Christ and turn to the others love who are not necessarily the same. Love that can not atone for our sins, of course.
Make our body as a place to sell of course not pleased at the Heart of Jesus.
Jesus wanted to clean our bodies from all the dirt there. Because Jesus loved the Father and His house. That means that Jesus loves us completely. So if now we have a trials or we are rebuked by God, it's meaning that Jesus is cleaning our body. God is overturning our sins. Father's house so that is our bodies to be clean, neat and orderly. And we can meet with the Father in heaven with our clean home.

Romans 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
We have two bodies.The body is physical and spiritual body. The physical body is very weak because it consisted of bone and flesh. The physical body needs physical food and could be exhausted. So that the physical body needs to rest with enough sleep.
The second body is a spiritual body. The spiritual body Complement of our physical body so we now live. Spiritual body can also weak and hungry. Therefore, the physical body needs spiritual food which is the words of God. The Apostle Paul in his letter in Romans invites us to offer our bodies as living sacrifices, are pleasing to God. Physical body and our spiritual body we are dedicated to the glory of God's name. This means that our good deeds and worship we are not only happening in the church alone. But there is also the environment of our lives. maybe our neighbors, our friends, or perhaps maybe even our enemies. Good deeds and worship are thus referred to as the true worship. And that's the way we to get the spiritual food. Ie read, reflect and make the words of God. .
The strong body of spiritual will cause The strong body of physical. So first we have to get the spiritual food.
Jesus gave an example of how he did the true worship. Jesus is regarded as the Jews want to hang out and give a living water to the Samaritan woman's. The Jews at that time did not associate with Samaritans. Jesus also wanted to stay with the tax collector Zacchaeus who considered sinners by the Jews. Almost all were not performed in the temple but is in the midst of the community.
What Jesus did must be our Model. By continuing to do well in the church worship and in the environment of our lives then our spiritually and physically will be stronger.
God bless you

1Peter 1:6-7
1:6 Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:
1:7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
A beautiful glass made from raw materials of irregular shape. Clay dirty looks to be trampled upon in advance. Through a long process so that the clay must be baked to harden the clay earlier. Still in a poor state of the clay that has almost become the cup should be painted with a good painting, and finally through the checkout process so that the clay will turn into a beautiful glass and interesting. A beautiful glass that is ready to show to our guests as a place to drink.
If the glass could say he will testify to us that how much pain and suffering he had at the time burned and trampled by men. It's like a never-ending suffering. From one fireplace hearth to switch to another. Intolerable heat may make the clay shouted. But seeing the beautiful shape now that the suffering and pain that eventually forgotten. Everything turned into happiness and pride because now he can be useful to humans.
God shape and beautify our life is like clay. At first we feel is sorrow and pain. We do not even know when this will end. We even often protest why the trials could this happen? We forget the promises of God that everything will be fine in time. And this will certainly slow down the process of establishing ourselves to be good and beautiful.
Today, if we experience a severe problem, then we must give thanks to God. Our gratitude will make us stronger and look good in front of us. This gratitude will realize that God is at work on the clay of our lives to be a beautiful glass of life. A glass of water to drink life to many people. God Bless You

Matthew 22:1-2
22:1 And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said,
22:2 The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son,
Jesus gave the parable of the kingdom of heaven with the king who held a wedding banquet for his son. This parable is very interesting and good for not talking about a rule or law of God but talking about human preferences that is a party.
The wedding is something festive. Inside were a variety of delicious foods with nuts and bolts of beautiful wedding. So if we were invited and went into the wedding, we will be ready to enjoy delicious food and meet people. We will also listen to the melodious music with the singer and a beautiful voice. The wedding will really pamper ourselves. The peak of the wedding is that we will see brides of men and women standing together on the wedding.
One interesting question is why Jesus described the kingdom of heaven with the wedding? Is not "party" itself is a symbol of the grandeur of the world. Why Jesus did not describe it with others such as law or commandments of God?
Indeed Jesus was giving us that picture of the kingdom of heaven is so beautiful. Kingdom of heaven is there substantially. Jesus describes the beauty with the beauty of the wedding. King of the heavenly Father invites us to enter and enjoy the wedding of HIS son of a single Jesus Christ. Church of God is the bride and Father through His servants on earth invited us to attend the wedding.
When we are baptized and accept Jesus as our savior indeed we have been invited to attend the "big party" was. Jesus does not want us to wear old clothes and dirty. So with His blood of expensive. He atone for our sins and gave us new clothes appropriate for the wedding.
At the time of the old covenant God gave this wedding invitation with the law. The law was intended for the children of Israel. But because many of the nation of Israel that violate the law, then the party invitations are now applies to all nations who believe in the salvation of the Lord Jesus. We obtain grace because we can go and enjoy the food kingdom of heaven. The time is near. Date and time stated in the invitation that was close. Is there any among us who throw away the invitation? Or is there among us who have not had a new dress and decent to attend the big party?
Always remember that "For many are called, but few are chosen.(Matthew 22:14)" Of course we are chosen by God will truly keep the party invitations and party clothes are not wasted. God Bless You
Jesus Christ is our God
Matthews 18:22 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until
seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.
Jesus answered Peter's question about forgiveness. Jesus explains that forgiveness is not enough just seven but until seventy times seven. If calculated
then seventy times seven is four hundred ninety. Is that true that we have as much
forgive?
Before Jesus' answer that, Peter first asked about the number (7) remission. So Jesus also answer with the number of 70X 7. Number of Jesus provided that if we mean PHYSICALLY THEN we must to forgive as much as 490 times. A number of a lot!! that is a meaning, is it??
Number 7 is known in week (1 week = 7 days). then if there are 490 days that means there are 70 weeks. 70 weeks is equal to 1 year 28 weeks. This is give direction to us that forgiveness must be becomes a habit. Jesus invites us to makes forgiveness as our lifestyle.
Suppose that every day for 1 year 28 weeks we used to get up early. it can be ascertained that The next week we will continue to get up early. Wake up morning will be our lifestyle and likely we will never wake up in the afternoon.
So it is with forgiveness!! Every day may there was 1 person who hurt us. But if we
daily habit to forgive, then forgiveness that will be our lifestyle. During 1
years we have become accustomed to repay evil with goodness it is certain that the habit would be repeated in the next year. Something that we do it repeatedly would result.
Today if we need to forgive someone, then
are we ready to forgive? If we have become accustomed, we must be prepared and
moreover, we are also ready to receive the blessing of God.
God bless you
Jesus Christ is our God
Jhon 14:27 "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."
One time I needed a motorcycle for my job. While at home, I only have a motorcycle that is used together with my family. I want to have a motorcycle own then my work will be much easier and good, at that time I plan to buy a former motorcycle in accordance with my financial condition which at that time was mediocre. So finally I
seek information about former motorcycle prices carefully and eventually make a choice to buy a motorcycle what should I buy.
Surprises meet me. Suddenly my old brother who didn't long time not meet at home contact me and advise me to leave his motorcycle for me. He said that the motorcycle can used for
my job and because in his new home he had a car. I am so happy very much . I do not need spend a lot of money to buy motorcycles and that motorcycle direct used for the purposes of my work.
Like my experience, that we live in This world needs peace. Peace This allows you to enable us to deal with all life issues. This peace also gives us strength, dreams and motivations so that we can achieve a victorious life. A life that is pleasing into God. But sometimes we do not find that peace. In just a minor problem we are often struck down with grief depth.
Before Jesus up into heaven He said that " Peace I leave with you ". It means: when we accept Jesus as our Savior the peace automaticly stay prosperous in our lives now!But the question is "whether we have used the peace that is given Jesus told us? "Just as with motorcycles deposited in my house so if I do not use a motorcycle that means that motorcycle not be useful and I would lose the opportunity to enjoy the function and the results of the motorcycle. Similarly, if the peace that we do not use then we will not enjoy the function and the results of that peace.
There may also be a question of “how to use the peace that Jesus has given to us?”
Very easy! God has given, then God also would not be difficult for us to use it. The peace which God's means that the peace that comes from God. Therefore, if we want to get our lives must be rooted in God. If we are facing a problem then we leave it to God. We prayed and sing praises unto God. We also wished only to God. All of our worries or the things that complicate our lives, we aim only to God as well as all the joy and our joy is all just for the glory of the name of God and the most important thing is all our jobs and our activity is only for God. So peaceful peace which passes all understanding and mind will keep up our lives and the world will see
the light of Christ shine in us. Gbu
Matthew 7:21
7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Christianity is not religion, because being a Christian means to be followers of Christ. Deeds and behavior should be like Jesus. Jesus himself teaches us about perfect life. Therefore, in his word in Matthew 5:48 says
5:48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
Perfection of life means we have the most holy faith (Jude: 1
1:20 But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,) and The most holy faith must build through the life which rooted in Christ.
At the time Jesus came into the world, Jesus did not focus His doctrine of salvation only to those who understand the words of God (the scribes). Jesus came for sinners. Jesus came to fulfilled the law. So we are no longer bound by the law but free from the snare of sin and death. This is indirectly a pledge that the only people who know Jesus and make His will be known by Jesus. Although that person is not an Israeli or scribes or even a high official. Only someone who have faith and be accompanied by deeds or the reading His Word and do His word will is called is called as a heir of kingdom of heaven. Beyond that, Jesus did not know them even if they shout loudly His name as if to know Him
We have Jesus again emphasized to us that we seeks to truly know Him. Arrival Jesus in the second time was near. And has appeared said that Jesus did not see our religious identity. Jesus did not see our offices. Perhaps our office is a priest or a prayer or a servant of God. Maybe our positions are too Christian for 15 years, or religious teachers. But if we do not act reflects the love of Christ and no effort from us to know Him, then surely the Lord Jesus did not
will know us as well.
Matthew 7:22-23
7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
And even if we are not Christians but we trying to know Him and do His will, then
Lord Jesus must have known us
Matthew 7:24
7:24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
The church not only serves as a means just place of worship and praying .The Church is the means we encounter with Jesus. If we have a business to know Him, we must have a business to meet with him. As we in church so we can choose 2 status is:
1. As someone who the status religion is Christian
2. As citizens of the kingdom of heaven
As someone who the status religion is Christian
As someone who the status religion is Christian the church just mere formality as a duty and an obligation to worship. My duty is to pray and worship at sunday. If not worship so I will not be referred to as theChristian. Maybe if I did not enter the church I would scolded by parents, neighbors left and right will seen as a holy man when I came to church or maybe I'm falling in love with a girl in that church so I had to come to that church on Sunday weeks .. People who like this didn’t know by God. Word of God delivered through the pulpit the church was not well received and he was only met with church members only. Humans only met with people in the church. What is gained? Of course he did not get anything. Living water flow not flows in the life and light of God Jesus does not shine in his heart. Her life was in the dark so that the Lord Jesus did not know him though he had to the church. People who like this must change ways of thinking and lifestyle. There should turn away from sin then the light of Christ will shine again in his heart. So he will met as real with God Jesus
As citizens of the kingdom of heaven then Church is the source of from our desire to meet with the Lord Jesus.During the 6 days we work and on Sunday we really love to meet with HIs
love. We did not meet with the pastor or the congregation. But we meet with God, listening to His words. Praise we sing really become forces that fill our spirits. Longing grew
strong when we listen HIS word. We can receive Word of God and we can make it as a Rhema in our lives. Church is not a place anymore but it is our encounter with God which has formed in our heart and manifested in our behavior and our lives daily. Jesus has promised us that He is not only provide water to our lives but He made us a source of true water of life:
John: 4
4:14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
Of course for these people then God has known him. God pleased to continue His work through HIS children who are citizens of the kingdom of heaven. And certainly our lives
will emit His magical light that has destroy the darkness in our hearts and radiated out through the darkness around us. Eventually later the second coming of Jesus, time which
so we would miss it .Jesus Christ the King still knows us and we will inherit the kingdom
HIS paradise filled with love and kindness.
Say that
Jesus Love me
Jesus care everything about you
Jesus saved my life
Jesus save me
Psalm 37:4 Delight thyself also in the LORD: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
Our first reaction when getting a big gift is rejoice. We rejoice as if only we are luckiest person in the world. We do not care about things that smelled "death" bit at that time. When we rejoice, there is a life force that makes our step lives successful .. Rejoice is an extraordinary thing.Therefore for many times we hear a lot of successful motivator recommend to have rejoice every day.And sure that a lot of successful people begin His success with "rejoice".
The Bible notes that the importance of the "rejoice" in our lives.
Delight thyself also in the LORD: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
But before heading to the sentence, then we will see that in the book of psalms 37 has started with recommendations to us not to envy and anger to the person whose life is a success due to cheating. Psalmist seems trapped in a situation or environment of people like that.
37:1 Of David. Do not be angry because people who do evil, do not envy the people who cheat;
As human beings who have never lived apart from a problem, we often experience things that make our rejoice extinguished. Perhaps we had fooled, we also must have been ill or may be wrong in choosing a product. But the biblical encourages us to rejoice in that situation. This is something strange? It is impossible because our true joy can emerge if we have problems.When there is a problem then obviously we have to think to solve the problem. Rejoice time is over and replaced with a serious time. This raises a question, what is meant by "Delight thyself also in the Lord?"
When referring to The Bible then rejoice is based on the 2 things, namely:
1. Rejoice based on the World
2. Rejoice based on God
Rejoice based on the world is based on world things. Like get a material reward but forget to give thanks to God or it could be because of something as innocent as getting money from the fraud, etc.. Rejoice because of the world is temporary because of something that is not eternal world and can run out. The world does not know God and the His children (1 John 3:1). So that when we rejoice to the world there will be no thanksgiving to God. The rejoice can turn into hatred, envy and arrogance that often is. Remember that the world is ruled by the devil. So that the direction of the rejoice that is the destruction of man himself. For example, if we often rejoice in the debauchery then surely our lives surely be destroyed. Destroyed by free sex or drugs, destroyed also because we became lazy etc.. Another example is if we are happy to have the prize money so much but we do not recognize that it is a blessing of God then our tendency is to spend money easily or ambition to get something bigger. Of course it will make us forget ourselves and sin will soon control our lives.
Rejoice based on God is based for rejoice because God's blessing. Every day we can breathe, we can eat and drink, we also can speak, hear, or walk it all the blessings and grace of God. But the important thing is we live and breathe and be able to enjoy the presence of God then it is a blessing and a beautiful gift. Of this there is no reason for us not to rejoice. God always devote real blessing every day. But sometimes that our views are often focused on the problem. Though our lives may have a lot of debt, even we can to eat and sleep maybe we're sick. But if we direct our hearts to rejoice because God the God's work will soon happen in our lives.

Luke 19:5
" And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house."
When we need God's means we're know God. Need God means more than just come and ask for God's help alone. Issues and struggles of life will always be there in
our live but our spiritual food that would have makes us stronger and not to be weak is God's Word and do His will.
If we open and read the Word of God within 1 Corinthians 13:1-13 So we'll see the characteristics and depth of love. God is love. So for us who want to
God knows that we must live in love and for sure we are living in the love of
spiritual growth.
Zacchaeus tried to know Jesus. Zacchaeus had attractiveness for Jesus to call his name. At Jesus walked along with His followers who
amounted to much. And the crowd arrives Jesus came to call. An extraordinary thing! Jesus never met with Zacchaeus. The situation is very crowded, and if we are in the middle of the crowd. Maybe We also probably not will consider With a short body was climbing trees.
What makes Jesus so interested to Zacchaeus to the extent that He would stay at his house.
1. Spirit wants to know God
Jesus saw the Zacchaeus desire very strong to know Jesus. The Seed of love growing in spirit of Zacchaeus. And this proved with the desire and actions. Who want known by God must have seeds of love in it. Like a Solomon's reply that did not ask for wealth
world or a physical force but wrote in the request is wisdom to know the Lord. If there are seeds of love then Faith will be great. Zacchaeus was also trying and doing not just missed it. Now how the words "try" and "doing" come to our life.
2. The same between actions with the heart.
God sees our hearts. What was done Zacchaeus equal to his heart. An example if the student with a school uniform but not to the school to learn then this is a lie. Or he went to school but often fell a sleep in class then this is also a lie. God see what we do. Whether is in conformity between actions and our hearts. Could wedged other purposes in our good deeds. Example I want to do good, but my motive is
so I respected or good name. So it is not suitable and loving deeds and recognize God. God match with our hearts. God look something invisible.
3. Acknowledging weakness
Zacchaeus want to see Jesus but he have a short body. But he tried to run away and climbed way up into the tree. We have a weakness. But the weakness was not a reason we gave up. Have we handed it to God? Jesus knew Zacchaeus and captivated because such in 1 Corinthians 8:3:
" But if any man love God, the same is known of Him."
Initially there was no intention for Jesus to live in the city of Jericho but because Zacchaeus the Lord Jesus wanted to stay Jericho.
4. Accepting Jesus means to receive salvation and appointed as the children of God.
Zacchaeus received by joy. And give half of his property to the poor. Christianity should be like Zacchaeus who are not bound to something external. Earlier status of Zacchaeus is the "receiver" but now is the "giver". If We love the Lord so do not care what those comments. Zacchaeus did't care what the people said (sinful) and do not care with the treasure for distributed. Though perhaps a wife or family of Zacchaeus not agree. We all hope that God loves us. But What signs can we show to God that we also miss and want to know Him with closer. How can we manifested the seeds of love on the introduction and known to God. But for sure that as long as we live so that the most beautiful is pleasing to God.
Jesus love you

Matthew 20:30-34
20:30 And, behold, two blind men sitting by the way side, when they heard that Jesus passed by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou son of David.
20:31 And the multitude rebuked them, because they should hold their peace: but they cried the more, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou son of David.
20:32 And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, What will ye that I shall do unto you?
20:33 They say unto him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened.
20:34 So Jesus had compassion on them, and touched their eyes: and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him.
Once upon a time there was a domestic servant who crying in front of her employer. He pleaded with the compassionate employers to lend money to pay the rental house. The employer remains the a firm stance and think that this is a lesson for the maid to not wasting money again. But the maid kept pleaded with loud shouting and said "Sir
have mercy on us! if you do not lend money it is me and my children will be sleeping under a bridge!! "
The employer was stunned. He can not bear to let the maid was to sleep under bridges. So finally The employer was not only to lend but also gives money to him.
Jesus said "What will ye that I shall do unto you?" when He heard two blind men cried with said: "Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!"
Of course this is not a normal cry. It is a tremendous shout that made Jesus
said so.
At the age of the kingdom, a slave will treated in accordance with the will of his master. Slaves not human "life" but people "die" which has purchased by a master. the word "mercy on me" was the right word for a slave or assistants. Because they really live from a mercy from the master. An example, if the master does not give a food for eat then the slave maybe wii be say "mercy on me my master and give me a food!
2 blind men who sat on the edge of the road is clearly have a standard life lower than a slave. they are blind, sitting on the sidewalk and no one else who care for them. They had a habit to ask for mercy from the people who passed by. They were regarded as people who are cursed by the surrounding community. Certainly an exciting surprise for them when he heard that Jesus was passing in front of them. Jesus
whose names are spread in the country as the Messiah
which can cast out demons and heal all the ill. and it is a good news for them which eventually they has healed by His mercy.
One of the interesting things is the word of Jesus which stated that he would serve the 2 blind man.
"What will ye that I shall do unto you?"
these words is the same with the words of the king to his wife as "part
or the entire contents of this palace is yours "
or a king to his subordinates as "I'll grant all your wishes "
and this proves that Jesus came into the world not only heal the
sick or save us from death. But also leaving the entire contents of the kingdom of heaven to us as man who loved
Jesus saw the longing and hearts of two blind that. Two of the blind man to admit that Jesus is Lord and King (son of David). Two of the blind really
acted as a servant or slave in the presence Jesus. As a slave in the presence of God they did not shrink -reluctant to say and shout "God, Son of David,
have mercy! "Even the people around him bothered. As a slave they want to
humility to ask the employer to name of Jesus Christ to provide "food" healing for them.
On this day let us think! how deep our attitude as a slave in front of the Lord Jesus.
Would you yell pleading with heart scream most of us to recognize the weakness to Jesus Christ? Would our lives be treated at will of our Lord Jesus Christ? so this will create an expectation for us that God says
"What do you want that I do for you?"

Jesus saved my life
Jesus save me
Jhon 8:8-11
8:8 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
8:9 And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
8:10 When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?
8:11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
When we believe in Jesus Christ, actualy we are under the law of grace and love. The law of grace and low teach us to know the God will. Jesus describe the law of grace and love like this :
Matthew 22:37-39
22:37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
22:38 This is the first and great commandment.
22:39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
22:40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
Jesus never punish us who have got a sin, but Jesus teach us to know the God will, teach us to make us be perfect like Jesus.
Jesus teach us through our problem.How we depend on Jesus when the problem is coming.Is that us ignore Jesus said? remember when we are ignore Jesus then Jesus will sleep
Matthew 8:24 "And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but He was asleep."
Make a communication with Him,so when the great tempest come in the life area then Jesus still wake up and with His say, Jesus can tell the problem to be quiet and silence. Jesus is the source of Grace and Glory and love.
God bless You

So if we don't have apologize and hate our enemy, then we will not enter to the kingdom of heaven even we are christian. Because God is love and love is forgive and apologize.
22:38 This is the first and great commandment.
22:39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Matthew 22:38-39
There is steps to forgive;
