Joy 11 

Mighty power at work within us

Now to him who is able to do

immeasurably more than we ask or imagine

according to his power that is at

work within us,

to him be glory in the church and

in Christ Jesus throughout all generations

forever and ever. Amen

Ephesians 3:20,21

         ♪.Scripture to mutter daily with joy 

                   and thanksgiving 

Today is the Resurrection Sunday.

It's the 2nd greatest victorious day

for the universe, God and mankind.

The 1st is God's Creation.

Last week was the Passion Week

in which the greatest event after

the Creation took place

2thousands years ago.

It was a crime that men killed God by

an illegal judgement.

Jesus, God has become a man and came to

among men but religious leaders and

crowd led him to be crucified

because of their envy.

This judgement that men did to

the God of Justice was the two extreme

that the God judged the sinful man and

woman in Genesis chapter 3.

The Judgement of loving and just God

was finally fully executed after

several thousands years on the last Friday

2000 years ago.

The last week was the passion week,

its memorial week.

Then, the last night after the Passover meal

Jesus told the most important matters

to his loving disciples in order to

let the mankind know about this

amazing judgement.

Those included about coming the Holy Spirit

who would help them, loving each other

and the promise that he hears their prayers.

After that he prayed the final

High Priest Prayer for them.

". . they may have the full measure of

my joy within them"

And he sung a hymn; went to Gethsemane with

his disciples. There he prayed his Father

the most important one for mankind,

". . . yet not my will, but yours be done "

Soon he was seized by the crowd with

weapons, violently frogged and mocked;

finally in his pang on the cross cried,

"It is finished." he took the last breath.

The human story ended there.

When man dies the story ends.

However, on the third day God's story began.

Jesus rose from death. 

The mighty power that kills death,

the power of the Holy Spirit has begun

to work within Jesus as life.

The joy of Jesus has sprout amazingly

within disciples.

The joy of God who is the substance of joy

on Pentecost came with the Holy Spirit who is

Jesus and lives forever within disciples.

As time goes by the disciples earnestly

have made known the new life of Jesus,

his love and the inheritance of

God's children to the world.

Satan's evil and deceptive attacks have

been fierce for the time being with

sovereign God's permission.

Nevertheless the joy among the disciples

has grown to the full measure of that of

Jesus by the mighty power of the Holy Spirit

who lives within them as Jesus prayed.

The disciples have grown knowing

heavenly kingdom the eternal home and

their joy to glorify God in eternal glory.  

Accordingly the joyful people by

the Holy Spirit has grown to the glorious.

Maranatha!

Praise the resurrected Lord Jesus!
