Heard people say that they are cursed... their family is cursed... or the place is cursed??... the days are cursed?? In telugu they say dosham... Yep there are many spirits and every one has the power to curse and also to bless. But through Jesus, all our curses are removed and we are blessed beyond every curse.
If we look to things, it can bring only a curse, since we all fall short. But even in the curse, there is good news—in the crucifixion of Christ: "Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: `Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree' " (Gal3:13, quoting Deut. 21:23). The Law demanded a penalty for law-breaking, and Jesus Christ paid the worst penalty of the Law.
Remember ,"Be careful how you think; your life is shaped by your thoughts" (Proverbs 4:23)
Ever felt that you are overwhelmed with sorrow or curse to the point of death?? Jesus had the same kind of suffering [Mat 26:39,42] In Vs 38 we see that Jesus was troubled . Reading further we see that Jesus had the Cup and He was asking Father to remove this Cup if it is His will. Sometimes we try to attone ourselves. Feel like punishing ourself for our past... for the things we did... or for the things that happend and for the things you did not stop and let it happen... for the words we said... or for the words others said agaist you.... This happens becuase, we dont accept the forgiveness and feel the need to be punish oursleves. Self-attonement is substituted by some for Christ's attonement. " Once we have repented of our sins God forgives and forgets them,... and we must forget them too..'
Jesus had the cup. and He says in Mat20:23 that we can indeed drink from His Cup but we cannot drink the cup on His behalf. Rom 8:17 says, we share in his suffering so that we may share His glory.
Job23:10: He knows the way I take... & we are refined in our suffering.
Is our suffering purifying us? or petrifying us?
"Allow God to soften and cleans you..."
So what to do? & What did they do in suffering?
Is53:7 -Jesus did not open His mouth against God
Heb 12:2 - Endured the cross... scorning its shame
Ph119:50 - Comfort in my suffering is this :"your promise preserves my life"
Paul says in 1Pet4:12 -19 that the spirit of glory and of God rests on you.
Philp 1:29 says we are not only to believe on Him but also to Suffer for Him. Here suffering for Lord means standing up for Him and upto His standards & be in integrity../..
At last super Mark14:23 Jesus offered the Cup and they all drank from it. The last supper is the symbol of our fellowship with Jesus in His suffering. Its participation in the Blood of Christ & in The BODY of Christ :)
