I Love Jesus

December 22, 2012

I Love Jesus


A Messiah with a Mission
Who came down Simply
For Us - For Us!


A Sage who Preached
About the Bonds and the Cage
The Imaginary Baggage all seemed to Carry
Immersed in Misery and Worry.


To talk of his Mission
Without knowing his Vision
Will lead us Nowhere
And Beyond Reason.


Sayings were a Hammer
To break the Barrier Boulder
For each to come Nearer
And from Clutches become free Forever.


Not many would Understand Then
Not many Even Now
The Path He Tread
Is known only to the Blessed.


That He Propheised
That He was Enlightened
Alas! Comes to our Notice
After he was Crucified.


Comes then 'The Resurrection'
Leaves Nothing to Imagination
For it teaches 'Life After Death'
And when alive to make count 'Every Breath'.


I Love Jesus
For Things He said 'Simple'
It's not HIS Fault
If we are still in the Dark and Grapple.


We Celebrate Christmas
To remember Jesus
Better Remember again that he Came Down
For Us - For Us!


'Where's He Now' is the Clamour
In the Church or The Cathedral
He also resides in Every Heart Filled with Love
Once He Nestles - There's no 'Withdrawal'.

    Seek him and you shall find him. Blessed is he who trusts in the Lord our God. Ask anything in his name and it shall be given unto you. First seek the kingdom of God and his salvation and the rest shall be added unto you..

    It shows how God writes his Word in our hearts (instead in books)
    He stands and knocks at the door of our heart, but we are dumb because of the noisy world
    Many are invited for the heavenly wedding, but attendees will be only the strangers
    No one can grant or issue visa to heaven, except the acceptable to life to God

    Jesus is the way, truth and life to reach heaven and see God
    The seeds (the word of God) fallen on fertile land only will give 100% return
    Human made statue can’t help being it is not able to see, listen, speak and move

    God has given us eyes, ears and tongue, let us pray to God to grant us the vision and wisdom to make use of them to cut the high hills, fill the deep valleys of our minds and make level land, by helping the poor and needy, as our Lord wished us to do, to be his followers

    Best wishes for a Happy and Peaceful Christmas
    Let us welcome Infant Jesus to take birth in our hearts
    Jesus help us to carry our cross and follow you, instead of kissing your cross and weep

    I am ashamed to call myself a christion - To talk of his Mission
    Without knowing his Vision
    Will lead us Nowhere

    Your Testimony, your declaration is a True Christmas Gift for many,
    for you are close to Him even though many of us claim to be.
    You don’t spend much time among or with our learned once,
    yet your courage and revelation can put anybody into shame.
    ‘I Love Jesus’, because you have no fear to confess Jesus.
    True Love has No Fear, only Saints used to confess during those days of persecutions
    but now our learned once hide in the rat holes out of fear to defend Jesus. (i.e., 14th Sep 2008 Church Attack)
    R Bhandarkar, you are a Blessed man, a man of Wisdom for you it and you are returning it
    as a Christmas Gift - ‘I Love Jesus’.
