Jesus who is the child of God was also a human being. He lived with folks, worked as carpenter and did such a lot of things. He interacted with all sorts of people; even Satan had a conversation with Him. He had no partiality and listened to folks and even saved them. Jesus was even baptized by man (John the Baptist) even though He was sinless and afterward enticed by Devil.

He revealed the personality of God through His mission that ended up in much suffering. Before that He probably did many wonderful things like healing the sick. Jesus behaved in an extraordinary way in that He had His own way of judging. Jesus always knew what was exactly happening inside the hearts of men. For those that pretended to be righteous, Jesus knew what was precisely happening to them and all their plans were revealed to Him. Usually even before asking a question, Jesus answered it in advance using parables. We humans are puny; we usually fool ourselves thinking that God can be tricked. We forget that He knows who we are and He is all knowing.

Jesus worked in a merciful way towards human beings even the chief of sinners received what they didn't merit. But Jesus was never fearful of condemning the evil ways of the Pharisees who pretended to be righteous from outside while their within was rotten. The Pharisees were after finding any fault in Jesus but they were defeated each time they faced Him.

Jesus faced many challenges but He never complained to God nor gave up in His mission, even on the cross He pitied man for the sins committed. While on the cross he excused one thief, the burglar who didn’t tell Him to save himself if indeed He was son of God but instructed Him to remember him. Jesus Christ never accused nor protected Himself so as to escape death but He died to save mankind from sins.

To work for God isn't particularly easy, we've got to be ready to be persecuted and face many challenges. The reaction from folks isn't welcoming but we should follow the example of Jesus. We should not hate but instead love our neighbors. God is the only witness because at times we could be rejected by others for the sake of spreading the news of God just like the Pharisees defied Jesus Christ. Our duty is to continue doing the work of God despite all of the issues encountered. We should spread His word so that many people to be saved in order to achieve everlasting life.

Pharisees saw themselves to be righteous and so they even assumed that Jesus Christ was to honor them and not them to honor Him. The query is are we like Pharisees or are we doing God’s work the way that it is supposed to be done?

A couple of years ago I had a rather strange experience. I went to visit my nan who lived in a flat on her own. Her husband (my grandad) had died around fifteen years before from a heart attack. I would ensure that I would go to visit my nan at least once a week. This was not something that was a bind for me as I have to say that I really enjoyed going to visit her.

Now before I continue I would like to point out that I by no means work within the paranormal sector, if one even exists. I actually sell cheap holidays, as well as offering advice about training for foster carers and on a part time basis I sell external doors.

On this particular day she started to talk about her health and explained to me that she was sure that she did not have long to live. She had a number of health problems as I am sure many people in their eighties do. These issues were gradually becoming worse and made her believe that the end was near. Strangely enough she turned out to be right.

What are you on about? I asked. She stated that she was one hundred percent certain that there was life after death. What shocked me even more was her admission that she could not wait to get there. She was not afraid of dying and had basically had enough of life, as she was always tired and had very little to look forward to.

How do you know that there is an after life? Do not be alarmed, Steve, she said. Your grandad comes and visits me every week and has told me all about it. I know it is hard for you to believe but it is true. When I die Steve, do not be too upset for too long. Be happy for me and be safe in the knowledge that we will meet up again in the future.

My nan died around six months later and I really hope that she has been able to once again meet up with my grandad and other people like her parents of course.

Having a belief in the after life gave my nan a piece of mind and something to look forward to. This also gave her a rather bullish attitude over the whole subject of death – in reality I would suspect that there was a part of her that was slightly concerned about dying.
