Jesus Saves!

I always understood Jesus’ saving activity in terms of rescuing the dying soul, liberating the captives, dying for the sinners who are doomed to hell. In fact, this is - I believe - his ultimate reason for coming into the world. However, as I came across some humorous stories like this, I got another perspective from which I can look at Jesus’ salvific work in a new and different way. The story goes like this:

Jesus and Satan have a discussion as to who is the better programmer. This goes on for a few hours until they come to an agreement to hold a contest, with God as the judge.

They sit themselves at their computers and begin. They type furiously, lines of code streaming up the screen, for several hours straight. Seconds before the end of the competition, a bolt of lightning strikes, taking out the electricity. Moments later, the power is restored, and God announces that the contest is over.

He asks Satan to show what he has come up with. Satan is visibly upset, and cries, "I have nothing. I lost it all when the power went out."

"Very well, then," says God, "let us see if Jesus fared any better."

Jesus enters a command, and the screen comes to life in vivid display, the voices of an angelic choir pour forth from the speakers. Satan is astonished.

He stutters, "B-b-but how? I lost everything, yet Jesus' program is intact. How did he do it?"

God smiled all-knowingly, "Jesus saves."

Moral: In times of emergency, troubles, difficulties and sorrows never forget to remember that you have already been saved in HIS MEMORY. You are saved in him!

Also look at the following pictures:


Satan can no longer score a goal against you, ‘coz Jesus saves!

kyky, thanks for your meaningful reflection. Hmasang ata tawh theologian ten an lo khel luih2 ruatlawk thurin (doctrine of predestination) chung chang i rawn phawrh chhuak a. Hei hi keipawn ka buaipui fo tawh thin a ni a. Har tak chu a ni e.

Calvina chuan, "Pathian hian chhandam tur leh chhandam loh tur thlengin a ruat lawk a ni'" (double predestination) a ti a. Luthera chuan, "Chhandam tura ruat lawk a nei ngei a, a bak zawng chu an mahni mawhphurhnaah a dah a ni'" (single predestination) a ti thung. Ruat lawk thurin Bible tan chhan thenkhat te chu:Sam 139:16; Tirh 4:27,28; 13:45; Rom 8:29; Eph 1:3-5; 2:4-9; II Tim. 1:9 te an ni.

Ruatlawk thurin kalpuituten an uar ber chu Pathian thuneihna a ni a. Pathian hi engkim hria (omniscient), mihringte chunga thuneihna pumhlum (total sovereign control) neitu a nih avangin chandamna pawh hi a thu liau liau a ni, an ti ani ber.

I sawi ang hian Pathian hi fair lo riau va hriat chang ka nei fo mai, keima cc ah ngei pawh. Mahse, "khawvel" damna tura a fapa pe tu hi dem rual a ni si lo. Ka ngaihdan chuan Pathian hian special purpose atan mi thlan bik (e.g, Paula) chu a nei ngei a. Chutianga a thlan bik ni ve lo tan chuan amah pan a a khawngaihna avanga a mah rin a ngai a ni.

Btw, Pathian hian chhandam tura ruat lawk bik a lo nei thlap a nih paw'n a a rel sual lo vang tih hi i ring phawt mai teh ang. Sawi zawh sen mai pawh a ni lo ve. avena te ngaihdan pawh hriat a va chakawm ve!
