Would Jesus take his wrong actions instead? - 1

* Luís Alberto Alves

The problem is that many do not ask the following question: “in my place, would Jesus Christ be here in this carnival block smoking marijuana, snorting cocaine, drinking beer, cachaça and prostituting himself”? Surely, the Master would not be there!

The Lord is holy. It does not mix with what is wrong. He visited and attended to sinners, but did not participate in their filthy practices. He sought to preserve his spiritual integrity. He cast out those people's demons, but he didn't agree with their mistake.

Unfortunately, because of the avalanche of misinformation regarding the Gospel, a very weak Christian in the faith misrepresents the Word of God. Some even say that because we are in Grace, the Lord is merciful.

They take the opportunity to commit various absurdities. Married people, brides or girlfriends get involved in other relationships. They treat it like normal. After all, in their view, God is love and everything will be fine. They will have no correction.

In his place, would Jesus take his wrong actions?

* Luís Alberto Alves

Today we live a Gospel where, in the view of some Christians, everything can be done, even the absurd. They justify saying that "it has nothing to do". After all, they are flesh and blood.

At the Judgment, the Lord will forgive.
On this road full of errors, people step deep into the swamp of sin. At this time of Carnival, countless Christians join the meat festival. They drink, use drugs, prostitute themselves and make several mistakes. They leave Jesus aside.

As the world is having fun, these people, weak in faith, try to take advantage of this vacuum and join the pack of conscious sinners. They know it is wrong, but they insist on continuing to do something that is unpleasant to the Lord.

The motto is fun at any cost. There are cases of Christians parading in samba schools and carnival blocks. They use the excuse of evangelizing the people who are completely lost there and in the hands of the enemy.

The Lord says that his servants will rejoice, but sinners will be ashamed. At festivals around the world, the real Christian is ridiculed. An example of this is at Carnival. The wicked say they are enjoying life, while the Christian wastes his time in prayer.

At the beginning of this profane celebration, where idolatry, prostitution and addictions go hand in hand, it seems that the devil is right. The result is known on Ash Wednesday. Most return home, in debt, marriages or relationships on the way to destruction because of adultery, young people who will become pregnant because of the innumerable sexual relations during these days of partying.

In less than 4 days, the wicked will commit the ten months where the blessings could reach them. That's when they will repent and say the old phrase: “I didn't know it was like this”! We don't have to try a glass of poison to know that it is deadly.

So my brothers and sisters, keep the best of God. The devil can only offer you something fragile and short-lived, but harmful to you.

In this very verse from Isaiah, chapter 65, the Lord says that we will drink of his water of life and the wicked will be thirsty. How sad it is, brothers, to stay away from the pure water that only Jesus Christ is able to put in our mouth. It's tragic.

When we look at the world, we notice billions of people drinking the dirty water offered by Satan, through music, movies, soap operas, clothing, strange behavior and fads. Satan is not in a position to offer something pure. Because he is dirty.

One of the waters offered by darkness is worldly festivals. They last a short time and are filled with all kinds of filth. How many do not know the drugs in these places and become addicted and end their lives ruined forever?

The Christian needs to be aware that he does not belong to this rotten world, under the control of Satan and his demons. We are passing through here. It is just like the prisoner serving time in prison. One day he will be released and he will no longer be there in that place.

Eternity is our future home. Unfortunately, there is a Christian concerned with decorating the prison where he is. Some even say, I believe out of ignorance, that we must be happy here in this rotten world, while we wait to reach Heaven.

For mercy, Jesus gives us a little refreshment, but puts the struggles on our way, so that we do not forget to pray and seek your Holy Face. It is the reminder that we must think about eternity. It is not worshiping this sinful world.

It is beautiful to recognize that God categorically states that we, his servants, will eat and the wicked will go hungry. Therefore, when a Christian truly serves Jesus, he is not seduced by the world, he lives and practices the Word of the Lord, he has a struggle, but he is a winner.

The big problem is that there is, today, a lot of Christian facade. The appearance is that of a servant, but the heart is worldly. He serves the works of darkness, walks side by side with the evil one. Satisfies the will of the flesh, instead of persevering in prayer, all the time, as the Word says.

With his life completely wrong, he prayed in revolt, asking God to do his will. The Lord is just. He will not spill blessing beyond measure in the life of someone who goes hand in hand with sin. There is no life on the altar.

The Christian, perhaps out of ignorance, is unaware of the blessings reserved by God for all his servants. They work out in cold iron and murmur. He believes that the Lord has forgotten him. All over the world, the same thing happens.

To make matters worse, do not read Isaiah 65, verses 13 and 14, where it is written: “Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: Behold, my servants will eat, but you will suffer from hunger; behold, my servants will drink, but you will be thirsty; behold, my servants will rejoice, but you will be ashamed; Behold, my servants will rejoice in joy of heart, but you will cry out for sorrow of heart; and you will howl for a broken spirit.

Some do not know how to interpret the text and bring to themselves the value of those words. The Lord is very clear in saying that: "behold, my servants will eat, but you will be hungry ..."
