Christ decreed Peace over Combat, Joy over Sorrow, and Love above Hate
Visualize life from the Armchair of Christ; His Father on His left while Angels and Saints gather in exaltation throughout the World. Each mortal having something to say or share about themselves, faults or reservations about life. Life’s burdens are many. Folks angry with themselves, other people, and a multitude blaming God for Misfortunes.
Imagine the Circle-of-Life seen by God, Father of all Creation. His Son confirmed societal Evil, human Frustration, and lack of Mercy. He knew Satan would continue to anger and frustrate those who were Contrite. But instead of condemning His fellow men and women; His Birth declared Peace over Combat, Joy over Sorrow, and Love above Hate.
“A man named Ananias, however, with His wife Sapphira, sold a piece of property. He retained for himself, with his wife’s knowledge, some of the purchase price, took the remainder, and put it at the feet of the apostles. But Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart so that you lied to the Holy Spirit and retained part of the price of the land. While it remained unsold, did it not remain yours? And when it was sold, was it not under your control? Why did you contrive this deed?
You have lied not to human beings, but to God.” When Ananias heard these words, he fell down and breathed his last, and great fear came over all who heard of it. The young man came and wrapped him up, and carried him out and buried him. After an interval of about three hours, his wife came in, unaware of what had happened. Peter said to her, “Tell me did you sell the land for this amount?” She answered, “Yes, for that amount.” Then Peter said to her, “Why did you agree to test the Spirit of the Lord? Listen, the footsteps of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out.”
At once, she fell down at his feet and breathed her last. When the young man entered they found her dead, so they carried her out and buried her beside her husband. “And a great fear came upon the whole Church and upon all who heard these things.” (Acts 5:3-11 NLT)
In fear of repercussion or something hidden people fall into Temptation. Many act sinfully and refuse Christ’s authority. We are warned never Cross or Condemn the Holy Spirit, especially through Deceit. Life is based on Spiritual Interactions within a Trinity of Hope; Father, Son and Holy Spirit through them shall ye shall be searched.
