La Joie Au Milieu Du Chagrin

La Joie Au Milieu Du Chagrin

La Bible nous dit que sur terre, Jésus “était méprisé et délaissé par les hommes, un homme de douleur et habitué à la souffrance, pareil à celui face auquel on détourne la tête: nous l’avons méprisé, nous n’avons fait aucun cas de lui.” (Ésaïe 53:3 S21).

Nous savons que la vie de Jésus n’était pas faite de divertissements et de jeux, ni remplie d’amusements et de divertissements distrayants, d’activités frivoles ou de distractions en quête de plaisir. Jésus est devenu humain pour les raisons les plus sérieuses : éliminer le péché, arrêter la rébellion, éradiquer le mensonge, être notre Sauveur.

Et Jésus savait que pour vaincre, éliminer le péché, détruire Satan et sa puissance de mort (Hébreux 2:14 ; 2 Timothée 1:10), Il devrait Lui-même souffrir beaucoup de choses, être rejeté, méprisé et finalement crucifié. Il savait que le chemin qu’il suivrait ne serait pas facile, mais malgré tout le chagrin, la douleur, les luttes et la souffrance, notre puissant Sauveur n’a pas faibli.

Pourquoi? Parce qu’Il aimait vraiment. Et Son amour ne concentrait pas Son cœur sur lui-même mais sur ce que Ses actions accompliraient et, par conséquent, malgré la douleur de Son séjour, ce fut “en échange de la joie qui lui était réservée, il a souffert la croix en méprisant la honte qui s’y attachait et il s’est assis à la droite du trône de Dieu.” (Hébreux 12:2 S21).

Au milieu des abus, du rejet, de la trahison, de l’injustice, de la torture et de la crucifixion, Jésus a vu la joie. Il y avait de la joie non pas dans l’expérience d’être trahi, faussement accusé, rejeté, méprisé, torturé et tué – mais plutôt dans l’accomplissement de Sa mission, en accomplissant ce qu’Il était venu accomplir. Il y avait de la joie de savoir que Son choix de vivre la vérité de Dieu, d’aimer complètement, de rester fidèle à Son Père, de ne pratiquer que les méthodes de la loi du ciel, de la vérité, de l’amour et de la liberté, malgré Ses mauvais traitements, Il révélerait la lumière céleste. Il justifierait le Père. Il démontrerait la vérité de Son propre caractère d’amour désintéressé. Il dénoncerait Satan comme un menteur et un fraudeur. Il détruirait l’infection de la peur et de l’égoïsme qui contamine l’humanité. Il développerait un caractère humain parfait et sans péché. Il fournirait le remède nécessaire pour sauver tout être humain qui Lui fait confiance ; et Ses actions fourniraient les moyens d’éliminer finalement tout péché, souffrance et mort de l’univers de Dieu et, ainsi, de restaurer toutes choses à la perfection.

Et nous pouvons expérimenter cette même joie au milieu des peines et des luttes de ce monde pécheur. Si nous gardons nos yeux fixés sur Jésus comme Il a gardé les siens fixés sur le Père, et si nous nous souvenons de la vérité de la Grande Controverse (que nous sommes dans une guerre universelle), des méthodes de Dieu et de notre pouvoir de choisir loyauté envers notre Créateur en appliquant à nos propres vies Ses méthodes de conception dans la façon dont nous nous gouvernons face à l’injustice du monde, alors nous, comme Jésus, pouvons savoir que nous sommes des lumières dans un monde sombre, que notre témoignage, comme ainsi, de nombreux amis de Dieu à travers l’histoire, tels que Daniel, Étienne, Paul et de nombreux réformateurs. Nous rendrons témoignage à Jésus, au Dieu du ciel, ainsi qu’aux méthodes et principes de vie et de santé. Nous saurons avec confiance que nos chagrins, nos luttes, nos difficultés ne peuvent empêcher le but ou l’impact supérieur de l’amour, de la vérité et des principes célestes qui brillent à travers nous ; et nous pouvons connaître la joie de révéler la lumière céleste aux âmes perdues et d’atteindre le royaume de Dieu ! Comme Jésus, nous pouvons expérimenter la joie du but, la joie de la mission, la joie de faire avancer le royaume de Dieu face aux souffrances terrestres, et ainsi savoir que nos souffrances et nos luttes passagères travaillent ensemble dans la main de Dieu pour accélérer l’arrivée de notre Seigneur (2 Pierre 3:12).

Donc,

Faisons-le en gardant les regards sur Jésus, qui fait naître la foi et la mène à la perfection. En échange de la joie qui lui était réservée, il a souffert la croix en méprisant la honte qui s’y attachait et il s’est assis à la droite du trône de Dieu. Pensez en effet à celui qui a supporté une telle opposition contre lui de la part des pécheurs, afin de ne pas vous laisser abattre par le découragement. (Hébreux 12:2, 3 S21).

Testimony 69

After reading your book, ‘Could It Be This Simple,’ someone was explaining Christianity in a way that made sense to me for the first time in my life. One morning, I simply prayed “I’m sorry and I love you.” As soon as I silently said that, I could literally feel God’s presence and light flood down on me from above and fill me up with love and joy. I sat there crying my eyes out, because I was so overpowered with this feeling of love and joy. It was just so incredible. I hope that more people can read this book and get a blessing from it. It’s really amazing.

Testimony 68

Your message of design law vs imperial law is so uplifting and makes so much sense- it is a game changer for me. The fact that Jesus’s death is not a big payment by an angry God is , quite frankly, a relief.

Testimony 52

Your unique way in spreading the truth is what we all need today. Most of us don’t recognize the contamination coming from all the lies and selfishness in the world. Because of our fear of death, we forgot how to live. Lies left and right. I was losing hope and faith, because of so many ideas that are always contradicting each other – so many questions answered by other, more complicated, questions – until I found your channel on YouTube.

You did not just give me answers, you also taught me how to answer new questions that arise in my mind. Now I see things differently. I see God’s mercy, grace, and Love everywhere, in spite of all the chaos that we all have done as humans. I don’t fear death anymore. Accepting the Truth and Love about God is truly a genuine Freedom from all the confusions, sufferings, selfishness, pain, and death.

I just wanted to say, thank you, sooooo much for revealing the real Remedy for our infected life. I have a new hope and now see the world in a different perspective!

Testimony 17

The blessings of clarity and understanding you and your class inspire me to take from the word of God have impressed upon me so greatly the true, loving character of our Creator. I have found amazing freedom and joy through building a stronger, more intentional relationship with Him. What is new is that this is now a relationship built on love, reverence and respect rather than fear and obligation, and as such my eyes have been slammed OPEN as I am continually impressed by the manifestations of God’s true character in His provisions for fallen man.

Testimony 10

I personally download and listen to each of Come And Reason Ministries Bible study class lessons and PDF study notes to use when teaching my class. Really appreciate the class especially when Dr. Jennings is teaching. Thank God there are persons like him doing His work and traveling to share His beliefs.

Testimony 44

We were given a gift of the DVD set, “God and Your Brain,” and we just finished watching it. The truths in this are so powerful and truly an answer to a prayer. We’re seeing hope where once we thought God wasn’t answering our prayers to be free of certain mindsets. He answered with these DVDs and we are hungry for more. Thank you!

Testimony 22

I have found your Bible study class lectures to be very inspiring and useful as I prepare to teach class every other week. I subscribe to the podcast and download your notes on the weeks I teach. The audio and notes are such a great help in preparing. My own understanding of God’s character has grown as I teach the class. Commendations on the thought-provoking and well-prepared material Come and Reason provides. Personally, I get excited by the tie you make between the spiritual and mental/physical domains.

Testimony 20

I just wanted to personally thank you for your teachings and insight into scripture. I came across your website via my cousin who suggested I look into “Healing the Mind” information. My youngest daughter has been struggling over the last couple of years and it all came to a head this spring. When I started listening to the “Healing the Mind” lectures my own life began to be transformed. I began sharing with all my daughters the concepts you laid out so clearly. I ordered your book and soaked it up. I just want to say “Thank You!” My walk with the Lord has been refreshed and renewed. Your obedience to the Lord is a blessing to so many.

Testimony 45

I have been confused for years about what [christianity] calls [its] most disgusting teaching. It has never made much sense to me and for that reason has been evermore empty. I have listened to your class off and on and have struggled determining what is truth, because of the resistance design law encounters in the church. So, I thank God for your ministry. What you teach makes sense. It’s logical and backed up by the power of love. I have never seen that in Christ until now. I am astounded by the insight that is found when we look at God’s ministry through design law. All strength to this message, as I believe it to be the power of God.

Testimony 49

I came into the church at 21, but that is as far as it went. I was so confused about what love is. I couldn’t find it in the bible, because I am not a person that can read between the lines. I have no logic. I have read many, many books; trying to figure out the crux of the matter. They were helpful, but something was still missing. I have become very frustrated to the point of crying out to God, “Where can I go?”  I needed some basics.

I found two books, written by Timothy Jennings, MD, to be very helpful. God showed me that I had lived my whole life in fear. I didn’t even see it. Now, I do. God is so good.  I discovered the “The Remedy”  Dr. Jennings new book, “The God-Shaped Heart!” Oh, I was so excited, I purchased them right away.

I can get rid of most of my books, because “The Remedy” brings the Love of God out so clearly, even I can’t miss it. Now, I want to sit and read my Bible. Wow, what a revelation! It is just simply Awesome! I am so grateful to Jehovah Almighty for hearing my prayer for more understanding! I am so encouraged!

Testimony 51

I Love This Ministry!!!!!!! I see first hand how this message is desperately needed, how erroneous beliefs about God and His Character negatively affect humanity at every level. I thank God for your ministry, as I was searching on my own and was discovering some of your same beliefs and was blown away when I found your ministry. I know you hear it all the time, but it is truly life changing. May God continue to reveal His Will to you and Bless you!

Eric S., Sanford, FL, USA

 

Testimony 2

I continue to enjoy your lessons every week. The more that I research your conclusions, the more I am convinced that the Holy Spirit has lead you to distill out the essence of human redemption. Thank you for your courageous stand for the truth.

S. G., TX, USA

 

Testimony 32

The message [of Come And Reason Ministries is] for all Christians (and those who may become Christians) and not just Adventists or any other group. It is difficult to imagine why any [anyone] with intellectual and spiritual honesty could find fault with the way you explained the healing substitution concepts and the truth about God’s character, though I know some will reject and criticize. On behalf of those in our group near Tacoma, WA, thank you and your staff for all of the hard work and for sharing the Gospel in this manner. God’s message of healing love will be carried to the whole world and then Jesus will come – He promised it.

Terry U., Tacoma, WA, USA

 

Testimony 58

I have been watching your videos in The Power of Love seminar and I must say these have liberated me and have improved my relationship with the Lord. I am no longer terrified of him as I was before following your teachings.

Thando N., South Africa

 

Testimony 57

You have helped make sense of thirty two years of confusion. The material you freely provide reorganized so much of my life into such a beautiful pattern that has always been hinted at from within, but misguided with my training and what I was experiencing externally. My filipno parents, who were converted from Catholicism to SDA, were sincere and did their best to raise me the right way and I have deep respect for them. However, being immigrants and not understanding the language made for a difficult transition as I was growing up, which also applied to my spiritual growth as I learned the patterns of religion. I have been listening to as many bible study classes and reading blog posts as my time in a work truck will allow, searching for the practical applications of where spirituality and reality meet, and I thank you for helping me find that. You have helped me reach a point in which I can truly say that I love God, that I believe He loves me, and, like David, I delight in His law. God bless.

Emmanuel V., Calgary, AB Canada
