Yesterday God spoke to me thru a sermon of his servant, Pastor Jimmy Stewart. So funny that he said he is from HK. (He is .....a black....AMerican?)
He talked about Jesus was numbered with the transgressors (Isaiah) What does it mean by "being numbered with"?
Its just like this
Mr. A--rape
Mr. B--Murder
Mr. C- Druf traffiker
Jesus Christ--Sin of all human (as he bore all our sins)
He got same rank as all sinners.
Then Pastor challenged us to "be numbered with" (this not mean we are to committ sin) those suffered, mourned. To love the unlovable, just as Jesus would love those sinners.
Then he invited each of us to close our eyes, to pray to God for someone we can't forgive or we are mad at. And then try to imagine their pain, may God's hands be our hands to touch them, may God's eyes be our eyes to see them, so as to have compassion on them just as JEsus does.
Then I had a very silent medidation (usually I would be daydreaming if the intercession is too long), imagined someone who I am mad with, to imagine his/her past, the pain he/she has been through. And I realized.....I should understand that someone's pain (this doesnt mean I dont have pain..ok?).
It's not easy, but I will try to think more deeply if next time there are any confrontation or conflicts, or hurt.
