Jesus Christ

Hey, I am Andrew, one of the Jesus 12 disciples. I wants to thank you to my readers for reading my post all this days and this will be my last post. In this post, I would like to talk about my personal thoughts and feelings about Jesus.

In the journey of following Jesus, I had met a lot of new friends, which is the others disciples. All of them were very friendly and kind, and I have already treated them as part of my family, included Jesus. 

At first I saw Jesus, I was very excited and instantly introduced my brother Simon to Jesus. Then, I was suprised to hear that Jesus invited me to followed him. Without any hesitation, I immediately followed Jesus, even leaving my father behind. 

In all this days following Jesus, I have learnt a lot from his teaching. For example, I learnt that we get rewarded for the good things we do and punished for every bad action.  Also, I saw a lot of miracles from him such as walking on the water, feeding thousand of people, healing a demon-possessed boy and others. Beisde, I saw how he helps a lot of people and saved the people’s lives. 

In my opinion, He is the Creator of the world, He is my Savior who loves me because He saved me from doing all sorts of bad things. He was my strength and my teacher, who taught me a lot of things. He is my peace, He is my truth, He is my friend and my family. Importantly, He saved my lives and He will always be the perfect image of my father! 

Alright, I need to end the post now and this will be my last post. I hope you enjoy your day and be happy at all the time. Byeeeee!

The Last Supper

Shalom! I am Andrew and I am here again to share with you the last supper with Jesus before he was captured in the Garden of Gethsemane. I hope you enjoy reading it. (-^_^-)

On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread, when it was customary to sacrifice the Passover lamb, me and others disciples asked Jesus, “Where do you want us to go and make preparations for you to eat the Passover?”

So he sent two of us, telling us, “Go into the city, and a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him. Say to the owner of the house he enters, ‘The Teacher asks: Where is my guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?’ He will show you a large room upstairs, furnished and ready. Make preparations for us there.”

We left, went into the city and found things just as Jesus had told them. So they prepared the Passover.

When evening came, Jesus arrived with us. While we were reclining at the table eating, he said, “Truly I tell you, one of you will betray me—one who is eating with me.”

Then, I was thinking, “What? Someone betrayed Jesus?? Who is the one? Is it Matthew, Simon Peter or Judas Iscariot? I have no idea.”

We were saddened, and one by one we said to him, “Surely you don’t mean me?”

“It is one of the Twelve,” he replied, “one who dips bread into the bowl with me. The Son of Man will go just as it is written about him. But woe to that man who betrays the Son of Man! It would be better for him if he had not been born.”

While we were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to us, saying, “Take it; this is my body.”

Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to us, and we all drank from it.

“This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many,” he said to us. “Truly I tell you, I will not drink again from the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God,” Jesus said.

What is this means? I feel like something is going to happen.

When we had sung a hymn, we went out to the Mount of Olives.

Thank you to my readers and I have to end this post now. I expect the post tomorrow to be my last update and I hope that things will turn out to go as planned. Bye!

Parable of The Three Servants

Bonjour, everyone! I am Andrew. Let’s continue with the story! I am going to share another teaching from Jesus, The Parable of The Three Servants. I hope you enjoy reading it.

Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives and we were crowded at him. Then, he began to tell us the story.

Jesus said: ‘‘Again, the Kingdom of Heaven can be illustrated by the story of a man going on a long trip. He called together his servants and entrusted his money to them while he was gone. He gave five bags of silver to one, two bags of silver to another, and one bag of silver to the last—dividing it in proportion to their abilities. He then left on his trip.’’

‘‘The servant who received the five bags of silver began to invest the money and earned five more. The servant with two bags of silver also went to work and earned two more. But the servant who received the one bag of silver dug a hole in the ground and hid the master’s money.’’

“After a long time their master returned from his trip and called them to give an account of how they had used his money. The servant to whom he had entrusted the five bags of silver came forward with five more and said, ‘Master, you gave me five bags of silver to invest, and I have earned five more.”

“The master was full of praise. ‘Well done, my good and faithful servant. You have been faithful in handling this small amount, so now I will give you many more responsibilities. Let’s celebrate together!”

“The servant who had received the two bags of silver came forward and said, ‘Master, you gave me two bags of silver to invest, and I have earned two more.”

“The master said, ‘Well done, my good and faithful servant. You have been faithful in handling this small amount, so now I will give you many more responsibilities. Let’s celebrate together!”

“Then the servant with the one bag of silver came and said, ‘Master, I knew you were a harsh man, harvesting crops you didn’t plant and gathering crops you didn’t cultivate. I was afraid I would lose your money, so I hid it in the earth. Look, here is your money back.”

“But the master replied, ‘You wicked and lazy servant! If you knew I harvested crops I didn’t plant and gathered crops I didn’t cultivate, why didn’t you deposit my money in the bank? At least I could have gotten some interest on it.”

“Then he ordered, ‘Take the money from this servant, and give it to the one with the ten bags of silver. To those who use well what they are given, even more will be given, and they will have an abundance. But from those who do nothing, even what little they have will be taken away. Now throw this useless servant into outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”

I understand the story. In my opinion, the master rewarded the two servants but punished the last one. The same is true for us too. We get rewarded for the good things we do and punished for every bad action. That's why when we do good to other people and use God's given talent to make life better for others, we receive more blessings.

Whew..., I have to end the story now. Thank you for reading my post. I will share with you the last supper with Jesus later. See you. Bye!

Jesus Heals a Demon-Possessed Boy

Yeahhhhhh, I, Andrew are back again to share with you another miracle of Jesus, Jesus Heals a Demon-Possessed Boy. Hope you would like it! >_< 

The next day, after Jesus, me and some of the disciples had came down the mountain and we saw a large crowd of people were arguing. When they saw Jesus, they were overwhelmed with awe, and they ran to greet him. 

Then, Jesus asked them what is all this arguing about. One of them in the men in the crowd spoke up and said, “I brought my son so you could heal him. He is possessed by and evil spirit that won’t let him talk. And whenever this spirit seizes him, it throws him violently to the ground. Then he foams at the mouths and grinds his teeth and becomes rigid. So I asked your disciples to cast out the evil spirit, but they couldn’t do it. “ 

Jesus replied, “You faithless people! How long must I be with you?Bring the boy to me.’’

So they brought the boy. But when the evil spirit saw Jesus, it threw the children into a violent convulsion, and he fell to the ground, writing and foaming at the mouth.  

Jesus asked the boy’s father, “How long has this been happening?”

He replied, “Since he was a little boy. The spirit often throws him into the fire or into the water, trying to kill him. Have mercy on us and help us if you can.”

Jesus asked, “What do you mean, if I can? Anything is possible if a person believes.”

The father instantly cried out, “I do believe, but help me overcome my unbelief!”

When Jesus saw that the crowd of onlookers was growing, he rebuked the evil spirit. Then, the spirit screamed and and threw the boy into another violent convulsion and left him. The boy appeared to be death. However, Jesus took him by the hand and helped him to his feet and he stood up. 

I was thinking, “Wow, it was a miracle! Jesus save the boy lives and I can’t imagine how suffering the boy was without Jesus!” We must believe Jesus because anything is possible. 

Afterward, when Jesus was alone in the house with us, we asked him why couldn’t we cast out that evil spirit? Then, he told us this kind can be cast out only by prayer. 

Alright, I need to end now. Thank you for reading my post. ^_^  I will share more event with Jesus later. Have a good day, bye!

Jesus Walks on Water

Bonjour, everyone! I am Andrew, and I just finished my dinner. I am here once again to share you another miracle of Jesus - Jesus Walks on Water. This miracle is right after the miracle of Feeding Five Thousand people. I hope you enjoy reading it. 

Immediately after this, Jesus insisted that me and others disciples get back into the boat and head across the lake to Bethsiada, while he sent the people home. After telling the huge crowds of people good-bye, he went up into the hills by himself to pray. 

Late that night, we are in the boat in the middle of the lake, and Jesus was alone on land. He saw that we were in serious trouble, rowing hard and strugling against the wind and waves. 

I said to the other disciples, ‘‘Oh no, we were in serious trouble, the wind and waves is too strong!’’

About three o’clock in the morning, we saw Jesus came toward us, walking on the water. He intended to go past us, but when we saw him walking on the water, we cried out in terror, thinking he was a ghost. We were all terrified when we saw him. 

But Jesus spoke to us at once. ‘‘Don’t be afraid. Take courage! I am here!’’ he said. Then, he climbed into the boat, and the wind stopped. We were totally amazed, for we still didn’t understand the significance of the miracle of the loaves. Our hearts were too hard to take it in. 

‘‘Wow, it is a miracle. It is hard to believe that Jesus walk on the water. At the time when he climbed into the boat, the wind stopped. Such a miracle!’’ I said. 

After we had crossed the lake, we landed at Gennesaret. We brought the boat to shore and climbed out. The people recognized Jesus at once, and they ran throughout the whole area, carrying sick people on mats to wherever they heard he was. Wherever Jesus went - in villages, cities, or the countryside - they brought the sick out to the market-places. They begged him to let the sick touch at least the fringe of his robe, and all who touched him were healed. I was very suprised to see all that happens. 

I have to end the post now. Thank you for spending time to read my post. I hope you enjoy your day. I will sent more post later, please read. Have a good time, bye!

Jesus Feeds Five Thousand

Hi, everyone! I, Andrew are here again to share with you another memorable event with Jesus. However, this time I would share the miracle of Jesus. Hope you enjoy reading it.

Unfortunately, we were told that John The Baptist, who was also Jesus’s cousin had just been executed and buried. When Jesus heard the news, he left in a boat to a remote area to be alone. Then, we heard where he was headed and followed on foot from many towns. Jesus saw me, others disciple and a huge crowd of people as he stepped from the boat, and he had compassion on us and healed our sick. 

In that evening, me and the others disciple came to Jesus and said, ‘‘This is a remote place, and it is already getting late. Sent the crowds away so they can go to the villages to buy food for themselves.’’ 

However, Jesus said,  ‘‘That isn’t necessary - you feed them.’’ 

I was shock to hear that because we don’t have enough food to feed the huge crowds of people. Also, we don’t even have enough money to buy for them to eat. 

We answered, ‘‘But we have only five loaves of bread and two fish!’’

Then, Jesus asked us to bring the huge crowds of people here.  After that, he directed the people to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then, he gave them to me and others disciples, and we gave them to the people. They all ate and were satisfied, and we picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over. The number of those who ate was about five thousand men, besides women and children. 

‘‘Wow, it is a miracle! It was very unbeliavable! Jesus use five loaves of bread and two fish to feed five thousand of people!’’ I said. 

Then, the huge crowds of people cheered for Jesus. Jesus suppose to be alone in this remote area. However, the huge crowds of people followed Jesus and bring joy to him. Before that, I was worrying Jesus would be very sad when he heard the news. But now, I am not worried at all. 

Alright, I need to end the post now. Thank you for reading my story with Jesus. I will sent more post later. I hope you enjoy your day. See you!

Parable of the Wheat and Weeds

Hello, everyone. I am Andrew, one of the 12 disciples and I am back again! At this moment, I would like to share another one of Jesus’ teaching, which is The Parable of Wheat and Weeds. This teaching was right after he taught the crowds about the Parable of the Farmer Scattering Seeds. Please enjoy !

Jesus told the story: ‘‘The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field. But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away. When the wheat sprouted and formed heads, then the weeds also appeared. 

Then, the farmer’s workers said, ‘‘Sir, the field where you planted that good seed is full of weeds! Where did they come from?’ 

The farmer responded, ‘‘An enemy has done this!’’ 

After that, the farmer’s workers asked, ‘‘Should we pull out the weeds?’’ 

Then, the farmer replied, ‘‘No, because while you are pulling the weeds, you may uproot the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn. 

After listening to the story, I was still puzzled. I still could not completely understand the story although there was context. I looked at the others and they seems like they are same with me.

Luckily, we got a chance to ask Jesus. We went into the Jesus house and asked Jesus to further explain his parable.

Therefore, he explained, ‘‘The one who sowed the good seed is the Son of Man. The field is the world, and the good seed stands for the people of the kingdom. The weeds are the people of the evil one, and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels.  

‘‘As the weeds are pulled up and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the age. The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil. They will throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’’ 

I began to imagine and it was sounded very terrifying. 

Jesus also mentioned the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Whoever has ears, let them hear. 

‘‘Yeah, it was much clearer now!’’ I said. I can understand the story now. 

Well, I should end the post now. Thank you for reading my post and I will continue to share more post later. I hope you enjoy your day. Bye!

Parable of the Farmer Scattering Seeds

Hey, everyone! I am Andrew and I’m back to continue to share with you another memorable event with Jesus. Now, I would like to share the Parable of the Farmer Scattering Seeds with you. 

One day, Jesus left the house and sat beside the lake. We soon gathered around him, and the crowd go larger and larger and so he got into the boat. Then, he sat there and taught as the people stood on the shore. He told many stories in the form of parables. I was very excited to listen to his story. Here are one of the story, Jesus said: 

‘‘A farmer went out to plant some seeds. As he scattered them across his field, some seeds fell on a footpath, and the birds came and ate them. Other seeds fell on shallow soil with underlying rock. However, the plants soon wilted under the hot sun, and since they did not have deep roots, they died. Other seeds fell among thorns that grew up and choked out the tender plants. Still other seeds fell on fertile soil and they produce a crop that was thirty, sixty, and even a hundred times as much as had been planted. Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand.’’ 

I listened attentively but parables were not easy to understand. The other disciples seemed to think the same way. Hence, we went to ask Jesus: ‘‘Why do you use parables when you talk to the people?’’ Jesus replied, ‘‘You are permitted to understand the secrets of the Kingdom of Heaven, but others are not. To those who listen to my teaching. more understanding will be given, and they will have an abundance of knowledge.  That is why I use these parables to teach, For they look, but they don’t really see. They hear, but they don’t really listen or understand.’’ 

He also said this fulfills the prophecy of Isaiah. Then, we listened attentively to the explaination of the parable from Jesus. Jesus explained, ‘‘When anyone hears the message about the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in their heart. This is the seed sown along the path. The seed falling on rocky ground refers to someone who hears the word and at once receives it with joy. But since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away. The seed falling among the thorns refers to someone who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, making it unfruitful. However, the seed falling on good soil refers to someone who hears the word and understands it. This is the one who produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown.”

Ohhh, it was a very long explaination but I can understand now after hearing Jesus explaination. I hope you enjoy reading this post and I need to sleep now. I will share more of my experiences with you later. See you!

The Sermon on the Mount

Bonjour, everyone who is reading my post! I am Andrew, who is the most handsome one from the 12 disciple of Jesus, haha. I decided to follow Jesus and learnt from him. I would like to share my interesting experience and what I have learnt from him in this blog.

I am very excited to share my experiences as a disciple with you and I hope you would enjoy reading it. First, I will start with a famous sermon that Jesus preached.

It was a wonderful day, as we are following Jesus, he went up on the mountainside and sat down. We gathered around him and he began to teach us.

He teach us a lot of things such as God blesses those who are poor and realize their need for him. At first, I was very puzzled. Why they do not want to work to earn money? Why are they so lazy and waiting for God to help them? 

Later on, Jesus also mentioned about God blesses those who are humble, for they will inherit the whole earth. I was agree with him that we should be humble to others.

He also said that God blesses us when people mock us and persecute us and lie about us and say all sorts of evil things against us. From what Jesus had said, I know that whatever happens to us, God will always protect us and blessed us.

Then, he taught us about salt and light. He said that we were the salt of earth, if salt has lost its flavour, can we make it salty again? It will be throwned out and trampled underfoot as worthless. From there, I was shock to hear that, and started to imagine the result of not following Jesus. I felt that I was lucky as Jesus had saved me. 

Next, Jesus also taught us about anger. He said that the ancestor had told us that we must not murder. If we commit murder, we are subject to judgement. Therefore, I know that we must not commit murder although we are very angry to someone. Jesus also said, ‘‘if you called someone an idiot, you are in danger of being brought before to court. And if you curse someone, you are in danger of the fires of help.’’ I learnt that we must control our bad temper so that we are not doing all those things. 

Besides, Jesus also taught us other relevant topics such as law, adultery, divorce, vows, revenge, how we must love for enemies and others. I wanted to go on these sermons, but I have to eat my dinner now. However, I will continued to post and share about my experiences with Jesus. I hope you enjoy reading this post. See you later!
