Reflection in Mirror

Who is a priest?  What is the job of a priest?  If we are priests of God, what does that mean to you?

The host asks listeners what their roles are as the priests of Jesus Christ and how they act in the societies and churches.

What drives you in your daily life?  What kinds of life that Christians should have?

The host encourages listeners to have the nine fruits of Holy Spirit in their daily life as the proofs of Holy Spirit driven life.

Are you assure the plan of God for you?  What is the meaning of God's plan for you?  The host explains how did God make the plan for our salvation through Jesus Christ and what is the meaning of the plan.  Also, the host encourages listeners to follow the plan of God who is good and powerful.  

Are you a Godly person?  Do you believe in yourself?

The host challenges the audience that people in the Bible were ordinary people just like us.  They were not special and inspiring examples in terms of faith.  When we focus on them reading the stories in the Bible we fail in getting what the Bible wants to tell us.  It is God who made them extraordinary.  When God helped them, they became the heroes of faith from losers.

Is there anyone who is perfect?  Everyone has Jekyll and Hide sides.  The host encourages Christians to confess the flaws and shortcomings of them to God who forgives their sins and to other fellow Christians who embrace and understand their weakness and mistakes.  The churches should be the place for the weak and the forgiven and the healed and the recovered.

Sometimes, it seems the love of God to be a obstacle for us in terms of fairness.  However, salvation is not based on fairness and justice of us.  The Gospel tells us that salvation is given to us by God not through our act of justice and fairness because the fairness is what we claim for our own interests, dignity and pride.  We can hardly find universal fairness and justice for all, so "fairness" and "justice" of us cannot save us but love of God who is above of all things.

Christianity is based on personal relationship with God.  Even though moral life is the essential part of Christians, it is the paramount of being Christian that having religious and spiritual experience with God.  The relationship with God makes us Christians as our identities.  Then, how can one have relationship with God?  What happens to him/her when one has spiritual experiences with God?  

How did Saul become Paul and what was the result of the change?  The host compares the conviction of Adolf Hitler and Albert Schweitzer with the case of Saul and Paul.  The host points out that the conviction of Saul which is derived from personal and selfish motivation turned into the belief of Paul which responded to the calling of God.

Chinese philosopher Mozi talks about Universal Love which makes benefit for all human beings not just for only people whom we prefer.  All Christians know that through the action of God and person of Jesus Christ.  Love should be universal and it completes with action.

Who is an apostle of Jesus Christ?  Is Paul qualified to be called an apostle?  The host examines how Paul defends himself to be the apostle of Jesus Christ through his letters to early churches in conflict with his enemies.
