Lazarus and the Rich Man

I remember the story of the Rich man and Lazarus in the book of Luke chapter 16 verses 19-31 in the bible, sometime we been persecuted in many ways. 

Lazarus was a poor and covered with sore in his body he has no house or shelter, he use to be brought to the door of the house of a rich man, some dog also come, hoping to get a bit of food that fell in the rich man table. 

One day Lazarus died and go to the place of father Abraham, in heaven, the rich man also died and he go to the place called hell, a very hot place, he look up and saw Abraham with Lazarus he called out, father Abraham take pity on me send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in some water and touch my tongue because I'm in great pain in this fire, but Abraham said, in your lifetime you have everything, while Lazarus got all the bad things, now he is enjoying here, you‘re in great pain and there is a deep pit between us so no one can cross over from here to you. the rich man said can you send Lazarus to my fathers house i have 5 brothers to warn them so they will not fall in this place of pain, but Abraham said their‘s Moises and the Prophet books and the rich man said but if someone back from the dead they might believe and turn from their sin. Abraham said if they didn't believe in Moises and the Prophet how come they believe in the dead. 

In today views,  Lazarus represent to the believers and the rich man represent to the unbelievers and persecutor. take courage brethren when we are persecuted in many ways we know God is our refuge, we suffer today but tomorrow we will be happy. like me, i'm not persecuted about my faith, but persecuted about the things i did not do, there is people who always looking fault in you, even you did not do the thing, they are pressing it to you. always looking your fault not your good manners. 

This story of Lazarus and the rich man inspired me to be strong, to hope that someday i will get my reward, to put my trust in God, it is not only to believe but Faith.

Christmas.

A Traditional Christmas day is coming, a believer rushed to shop for the things for Christmas, that's why when Christmas day is coming the traffic get worst, more coming out, more car filling in the parking. its also a time for other to take advantage, increase the price of their product, also a time for lawless element, they thought that people have a lot of money in this season. 

Department store and Supermarket filled with people, everyone want to celebrate the Christmas, even the bible believing christian who did not believe that Jesus is born on Dec 25 also celebrate Christmas, some says  its a tradition, That reason is a escape goat just to join in the season, well that's there decision. 

The poor and rich alike are gearing up in the shopping place, people around the world celebrating Christmas for a tradition they say its just only once a year why don't we give it all, emotions filled, loving caring, bonuses and 13th months pay. other people was making a loan just to please the Christmas season, maybe because they have many god daughter and god son, a loving god parents, huh! those who is really have no money they leave the house to hide, a tradition too. for others Christmas time was really hard because it cause lots of money to celebrated, gift, food, new dress, new things, if you follow the trend you really need more money to please people around you, especially your family, then after Christmas here come, you gonna pay your loan, you have to budget your money, but its okay at least you please the people around you on Christmas day, its just once a year. 

By the way, where's the Christmas comes from, others believe that its a day that Jesus Christ was born on Dec 25, two thousand years ago but lately one of highest person in one religion claim that they miscalculate the date of when Jesus was born, no impact for there followers sound like, so what, we will still believe what we believed. 

Other says that it come from pagan celebration those who believe in idol, there's lot more explanation where this Christmas comes from or begin, a true believer didn't join in that celebration as the bible say, well, whatever it is, it is a celebration for a decade, its up to you if you want to believe or not in Christmas, we are all for Christ literally, i believe in Christ, not in tradition. you can give love, care, gift, everyday if you want.
