Angry Christ

Mathew 23:33 "You snakes, you brood of vipers!How can you escape being sentenced to hell?



Very harsh words....isn't it?
But our God is harsh towards sinful structures....
Our God is harsh towards false spirituality....a spirituality with two faces.....
Our spirituality should be expressed in our words..actions...thoughts...our attitude towards life, others.....

Mathew 5:21-23 says.."On that day many will say to me, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many deeds of power in your name? Then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; go away from me, you evildoers"


An uncompromising Christ.........
He points his hand towards injustice....
Fire in his eyes is a warning to demonic powers......
Our God is a loving God...but our God never keep quiet when life is denied....when justice is denied...when we again...again....again....lead a hypocrite life..
God is angry because ...God challenges the powers of this world.........
God is angry because a few dominates other....our God loves the "others"

We bear Christ's name...but do we witness the love of Christ...towards the people in the margins...underprevilaged....illiterate....homeless.....

See.... our Christ is with them......he consoles them...empower them....embrace them....Our christ is restoring their humiliated identity..

Yes...he is angry towards the structures...silent observers of this sin...
Yes..he is angry towards the compromising attitude of the spirituality of that time....
Christ is angry....BECAUSE CHRIST LOVES ALL....
HIS ANGER COMES OUT OF HIS LOVE....

Laughing Christ

have you ever seen this Christ in your life?

Spiritual Story by Unknown


A newly arrived soul in Heaven was met by St. Peter. The saint toured the soul around Heaven. Both of them walked side by side inside a large workroom filled with angels.

St. Peter stopped in front of the first section and said, "This is the Receiving Section. Here, all the petitions to God said in prayer are received." The soul looked at the section, and it was terribly busy with so many angels sorting out petitions written on voluminous paper sheets from all the people of the world.

They walked again until they reached the 2nd section, and St. Peter told the soul, "This is the Packaging and Delivery Section. Here, the graces and blessings the people asked for are packed and delivered to the persons who asked for them down on earth."

The soul saw how busy it was. There were so many angels working in that room, since so many blessing were being packed and delivered to Earth.

Finally at the farthest corner of the room, the soul stopped at the last section. To the surprise of the soul, only one angel stayed there idly, doing nothing. "This is the Acknowledging Section," St. Peter told the soul. "How is it that, there is no work here?" "That's the sad thing," St. Peter answered. "After the people received the blessings they asked for, very few send their acknowledgments." "How does one acknowledge God's blessing?" "Simple," St. Peter answered. "Just say, "'Thank you, Lord'."

Read Luke 17:11-19 ".....As he entered a village, ten lepers approached him. Keeping their distance, they called out, saying, "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us" When he saw them, he said to them, "Go and show yourselves to the priests". And as they went, they were made clean. Then one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, praising God with a loud voice. He postrated himself at Jesus' feet and thanked him. And he was a Samaritan. Then Jesus asked, "Were not ten made clean? But the other nine, where are they? Was none of them found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?" Then he said to him, "Get up and go on your way; your faith has made you well."

Do we acknowledge God's blessings.....?...how often....daily...weekly....monthly...yearly.......

We are very "busy"......don't forget to acknowledge God's blessings every second.....
If we do that.....we will have time to worship our God with our body, heart and mind....
