It is quite another thing to say that Christ died for my sins. . . . It is a shocking thought that we can be as indifferent as Pilate, as scheming as Caiaphas, as callous as the soldiers, as ruthless as the mob, or as cowardly as the disciples. It wasn’t just what they did—it was I who nailed Him to the tree. I crucified the Son of God. I joined the mockery.” (Ka long kaba suk ban ong ba U Khrist U iap na ka bynta ka pop jong ka pyrthei.

Ka jingim kaba bad ka pyrthei, ha ki jingkwah lalot jong ka? Ne ban im ka jingim kaba jan sha U Blei? Kane ka bynta na Ka Ktien ka jong U Blei ka iadei bad ka jingim ka jong ngi ha kine ki sngi ha kaba ki bun ki im ka jingim kaba kwah lalot bad kwah rhah.

Ha ka dkhot kaba 15 U Jisu U ong, (Loukas 12:15) “To sumar, to kiar ruh na ka jingkwah lalot baroh : namar ka jingim u briew kam shong satia ha ka jingdap kyrhai jong kiei kiei kiba u don.” U Jisu U ong, “Sumar” “To kiar” kiar na ka jingkwah lalot, bad ia kane ka jingkwah lalot la ioh na ka ktien Greek, pleonexia ia kaba la shim na ka ktien, pleonektein, kaba ka jingmut jong ka ka mut, “wanting more of what you already have enough of!” (Kaba kwah shuh nalor kaba la ioh diang lypa kyrhai!). U Charles Swindoll uba dei u pastor, u nongthoh bad u nongkren ha ki program ha ki radio, haba u kren shaphang ka jingkwah rhah ne jingkwah lalot u buh ha ka rukom ba u thaw dur bad u ong, “Picture a shipwrecked sailor on a life raft in the middle of the ocean. His terrible thirst impels him to drink the salt water, but it only makes him thirstier. This causes him to drink even more, which makes him thirstier still. He consumes more and more of the salty water … until, paradoxically, he becomes dehydrated and dies.” (Mutdur ia u nongniah lieng uba don ha i lieng kynda hapdeng jong ka duriaw hadien ka jingpait lieng. Ka jingsliang ba shyrkhei ka pynbor ia u ban dih ia ka um mluh jong ka duriaw, hynrei ka nang pynsliang shuh shuh ia u. Kane ka pynlong ia u ban nang dih shuh khambun, kaba nang kham pynsliang shuh ia u. U la nang dih shi dih khambun ia kata ka um mluh...haduh, ba khongpong ia kaba u sngew, u la kylla tyrkhong sdot bad iap). Kaei kaba ngi don mynta ha kawei ka sngi ngi hap ban iehnoh ia kita baroh, bad kaei kaba ngi ioh mynta ngi lah ban pyndonkam ne ngi lah ban pyndonkam bakla, hynrei ha kawei ka sngi ngi tip ba kiei kiei kiba ngi don yn sa shim noh na ngi bad ngi hap ban ieng hakhmat U Blei U ban bishar ia ngi.

Jingduwai: - “Ah U Blei, nga tip ba kumba nga wan thylli sha kane ka pyrthei ngan leit phai ruh thylli, iarap ia nga ba ngan nym kwah rhah ia kaei ka bym dei hok ka jong nga hynrei ba ngan hun ha kaba Me Me ai.” -Amen

Topic (22nd -28th March 2021) – “Ka jingkwah rhah” (Greed).

“Pynkynriah shajngai na nga ia ka jingthala bad ki jinglamler: wat ai ia nga lymne ka jingkyrduh lymne spah; to bsa ia nga da ka jingbam kat ban biang ia nga.” (Proberb 30:8)

Ha ka Our Daily Bread kaba 12 tarik u Lber 2013, ki thoh ia kawei ka jingjia, ba ka don kawei ka jingpyniakhalai (jackpot) kaba ki tyrwa ia kiba jop haduh 640-Million-dollar bad yn don tang uwei u nongjop. Bad ha kane ka jingthoh ki thoh ba ki nong America ki pynlut haduh 1.5 billion-dollar, bad ki briew ki leit ban ieng lain ha ki jaka ba die ia ki ticket na ka bynta kane ka jackpot, ka daw ka long ba ki kwah ban ioh spah.

U briew uba la tip kum U Agur ha ka Bible u don da kawei pat ka rukom pyrkhat shaphang ka spah bad kumta u la pan na U Blei tang ar tylli ki jingpan hashwa ba un iap. Kaba nyngkong, u la kyrpad na U Blei (Proberb 30:8) “Ba U Blei Un pynkynriah ia ka jingthala bad ia ka jinglamler na ka jingim ka jong u.” Ka jingim kaba hok kaba lait na ki jingthala bad jinglamler ka dei kata ka jingim kaba ngin lait na ki jingsngewsih bad jingkhuslai, namarba haba ngi im hok ngim donkam ban buhrieh ei ei bad ngim donkam ban sheptieng, hynrei ka jingshukor kan teh mraw ia u briew. Kaba ar, ka jingkyrpad ka jong U Agur na U Blei ka long, (Prob 30:8) “Ba U Blei Un bsa ia u kat ban biang ia u.” Ka jingkwah ka jong U Agur ka long ba un sngewhun ha kaei kaba U Blei U ai ha u, kynmaw ba ka jingsngewhun ha ka mynsiem ka mih haba ngi nang ban shaniah ha U Blei, bad ban shaniah ha ka jingpyndap ka jong U Blei. U Agur u nang ban shaniah ha U Blei namar ba u tip ba U Blei U long ka stieh ia kita kiba shaniah ha u bad u ong (Proberb 30:4-5) “Uei uba la kiew artet shabneng, bad ba la hiar? Uei ba la lum ia ka lyer ha la ki kti ba la kham? …Ka ktien baroh ka jong U Blei ka long ba la pynphrang: U long ka stieh ha kita kiba shaniah ha U.” U Dave Branon uba dei u Senior Editor jong ka Our Daily Bread u thoh kumne, “Contentment does not come from wealth—It’s not something you can buy; Contentment comes to give you peace When you depend on God’s supply.” (Ka jinghun mynsiem kam wan na ka spah- kam dei kaei kaei kaba phi lah ban thied; ka jinghun mynsiem ka wan ban ai ha phi ia ka jingsuk haba phi shaniah ha ka jingpyndap ka jong U Blei). Ngin ioh ia ka jinghun dei haba ngi hun ha ka jingyndap ka jong U Blei bad ngi shaniah ha U Uba lah ban pyndap ia ngi bad ia ki jingdonkam ki jong ngi.

Jingduwai: - “Ah U Blei, iarap ia nga ba nga lah ban shaniah ha Me bad ha ki jingpyndap ki jong Me namarba Me tip ia kaba bha tam na ka bynta ka jingim ka jong nga.” -Amen
