Afghan Radio - Sound of Life

After years of going through different life experiences, I realised that God does something special with my wounds, which He did, in the first step of healing and salvation in my life and my wife and children, and then in the lives of others if I am healed. I realised that if God allows wounds and pain of despair to be created in our lives; He must be pursuing a purpose and plan that we usually will not understand for a long time. Jesus' wounds saved us and today we are grateful. Just as the most wounded crucified in the world saw through his wounds that something was being done by those wounds. We saw that with the wounds of Joseph, his family and Egypt were saved, David's wounds were preparing him for a strong and lasting kingdom and reign. How beautifully God writes through Paul in the letter to the Corinthians that everything that happens and happens in the lives of those who love God is for their good. Because the Lord is the God of comfort, peace and encouragement. He wants to comfort you who listen to the voice of His word today. He comforts us so that we can comfort others in their afflictions. He strengthens us so that we can strengthen others. He heals us so that we can heal others. Think about these words and how much you and I can comfort our families, our people, our neighbours, and our fellow human beings.

Our lives as humans are like a field where whatever seeds we plant today, we will reap tomorrow. If we plant wheat seeds in the field, we will reap wheat; if we plant thorns, we will reap thorns. Our choices are the same. Sometimes we think that a small act has no effect, for example, not studying one day, lying once, being disrespectful once; but this one time, gradually becomes our habit and these habits ruin the future. If our choice today is good and excellent, we will have a better tomorrow. But if our choice today is bad and spoiled, we will have a bad tomorrow.

The resurrection shows the great power of God Himself. Believing in the resurrection is believing in God. If there is a God, and if this God created the heavens and the earth, then God is a powerful God. If He did not have such power, He would not be worthy of our faith and worship. Therefore, He has the power to raise the dead. The One who gives life to man can also raise us after death. Only He is able to change the terrible face of death. Only He can eliminate suffering and torment and conquer death. By resurrecting Jesus Christ from the dead, Almighty God showed that He has power over death and life. If Jesus Christ had not been resurrected, there would be no hope of resurrection for us either. Apart from the resurrection of Christ, we have no other Saviour, salvation, or hope of eternal life.

The triumphal entry of Jesus Christ is a very different story, but it has meaning and application for the followers of Christ. It is the story of a king who entered the city humbly, dressed as a poor man, riding a donkey, and not wearing the fancy robes of a king or a horse. Jesus Christ did not conquer by force and war like earthly kings, but His victory was through love, compassion, kindness, and the sacrifice of His own life for mankind. He is not the King of armies, but the King of humility and service. He does not conquer nations, but He conquers hearts and minds. His message is eternal peace with God, not temporary earthly peace. We believers display these same characteristics so that the people of the world will see the true King of our hearts.

The social responsibility of youth as the leading forces and leaders of society's future includes playing an active role in the development of the country, acquiring knowledge and expertise, promoting a culture of peace and coexistence, and participating in resolving cultural, political, and economic challenges. They must play a role in the areas needed by the country with commitment. Accepting individual and social responsibilities (faith and conscience) to become effective and efficient individuals. Confronting prejudices (ethnic, linguistic, religious) and striving to transition from crises to peace and peaceful coexistence. Paying attention to moral and behavioural values ​​in cities and social environments. In short, youth as active forces are primarily responsible for social structuring and the transition of society towards progress.

There are many differences between Jesus Christ and other prophets. The prophets were human; but Christ has a divine origin. The prophets were sinners. But Christ was completely without sin. The Prophet David says: “I confess my transgressions, and my sin is always before me.” Jesus Christ said to the Jews: “Who among you will convict me of sin?” The prophets guided people to God; but Christ guides people to himself. After completing their mission, the prophets appointed successors; but Christ said that he would always be with his followers. The prophets, relying on the power of God, performed miracles in some cases; but Christ had power himself and the potential to perform miracles. The prophets all passed away and were buried; but the grave of Jesus is empty. The prophets will not judge people; but Christ will judge the people of the world.

With the authority given by God to Christian leaders, they are required to serve accordingly among believers. Our gentleness, kindness, and compassion should not make us assertive about church sabotage. John was an experienced leader who resolutely opposed anything that was contrary to the truth in Jesus Christ.

What is true hospitality? Gaius is an example of generosity and hospitality! Early Christian evangelists and ministers were dependent on the help of local believers and churches. The hospitality of our fellow believers is an example of loving them. Are we as hospitable as the first believers in today's world?

Are there really deceivers in the world who are trying to distract us from the original way of believing in the true God in Jesus Christ? The only thing that man needs is love and that is enough. Is the tolerance and love that the world is chanting real? Where can we draw the line between true love and true tolerance?

Who is the chosen lady of God and His children? What is the truth for John that they know? What can be the real signs of life? Jesus Christ as the true revealer of God the Father! This short essay can revolutionise our new life.
