LET THE DEAD BURY THEIR DEAD: READ AND WHAT'S YOUR VIEW
Let the dead bury their dead means that we should allow the spiritually dead people (that is, those that are physically alive to people but do not believe in God) to bury their own physically and spiritually dead peoples and it is not a must that good Christians will take part in attending the burial occasion whether the physically and spiritually dead person was a blood family member (relative) or not. We were pursued and persecuted out of the synagogues (where Jesus Christ Himself taught people while here on earth in human flesh) by the unbelievers (that is, those who do not believe in Jesus Christ) on this same earth but all who pursued and persecuted good Christians up until the very end (that is, without true repentance) are part of the people being sent away from entering Eternal life (Heaven/Kingdom of God) through the right accusations of Prophet Moses himself against his fake followers because his real followers also believe in our Lord Jesus Christ. The fake believers of Prophet Moses go about persecuting Jesus Christ by treating good Christians badly and/or killing them.
The wages of sin is death (eternal death/hell fire/fiery furnace) means that anyone who is a slave of sin earns/receives spiritual death while here on this earth (that is, in this life); and thereafter eternal death (hell fire/fiery furnace) in their after life (that is, after their physical death here on this earth). Any spiritually dead person who dies physically in that same state of dead spirituality continues to be dead through out eternity/forever in hell fire/fiery furnace.
(1) ANYONE WHO HAS THE HOLY SPIRIT OF JESUS CHRIST LIVING IN HIM IS SPIRITUALLY ALIVE TOO AND WILL REMAIN SPIRITUALLY ALIVE IN ETERNAL LIFE (HEAVEN/KINGDOM OF GOD) RECEIVING GREAT GLORY IN THE AFTER LIFE (THAT IS, AFTER THEIR PHYSICAL DEATH HERE ON EARTH): The Joy of the Lord is our strength whether we have seen Jesus Christ or not (Jesus Christ can appear to anyone He wants to appear to in a dream, vision, trance and/or even real life like every other person that you can see and/or touch). This great/immense joy that comes from the Salvation that Jesus Christ gives good Christians through our faith cannot be fully expressed by anyone and it is filled with immense/great glory too. We, good Christians, need to search the word of God (the Holy Bible) diligently and carefully and in the same way ask the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ in us about things spoken or unspoken yet. The Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ in us is the same Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ that was in the prophets of old (that is, in the olden days true prophets of God). Remember that: Jesus Christ is the beginning and the end; Jesus Christ is the first and the last. The Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ gives the gift and ability of prophecy to good Christians. A good Christian (who spread the Good News) that is filled with Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ (God, the Son) is not doing it out of selfish reasons but for the spiritual good of all who hear and believe the Holy messages sent to them by the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ through the preacher of the word of life (the word of God, the Son). A good Christian (that is, a being in human flesh/body) that is filled with the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ can see some things that even the angels of God in Heaven can only wish and dream that they will be given the opportunity to see. The Holy Spirit sent from heaven above is still the Spirit of Jesus Christ. While preparing your minds (innerselves) to do the work of God (spreading of the Good News of Jesus Christ), be very sorry for the wrong things that you might have done in the past in the eyes/sight of God on this earth and put your hope in the grace of God that you will receive when Jesus Christ (God, the Son) is revealed to you and not only on the commandments of Prophet Moses (that is, those commands God sent to us through prophet Moses). As a good Christian, do not get used to the things you used to do before you totally gave your life to Jesus Christ to live in, but get used to being Holy because the Spirit of Jesus Christ who lives in you is Holy. Do not forget that once you truly gove your life to Jesus Christ, then you are immediately one of "THE CALLED." All good Christians are the called and the call is to spread the Good News of Jesus Christ across the whole earth (that is, throughout the whole world). Even in your time of despair, troubles, trials and tribulations; If you call on Jesus Christ as your Father with fear and trembling while acknowledging that it was not the earthly things of this world like gold, silver, money, property etc that saved us all but that is through the blood of our Lord and Master Jesus Christ (the Holy lamb that was slain/crucified on the cross of Calvary) who is truly Holy. Jesus Christ (God, the Son) has been in existence even before the beginning of the creation of the foundation of the whole world but has been revealed to all of us for the sake of those who believe in Him (that is, good Christians). Good Christians believe in God, the Father through the believe in our Lord and Master Jesus Christ (God, the Son). God, the Father raised Jesus Christ from the dead and gave Him great glory after His resurrection from the dead. All that Jesus Christ has ever done and will ever do are all in the authority (acknowledgement/agreement) of God, the Father. SO, OUR FAITH AND HOPE IN JESUS CHRIST (GOD, THE SON) IS ACTUALLY IN GOD, THE FATHER. The living and abiding Word of God (Jesus Christ is "the Word") makes us born again and makes our heart pure enough to love our fellow Christians earnestly and genuinely. Our Obedience to the truth (Jesus Christ is the "way", the "truth" and the "life") purifies our hearts to have genuine brotherly love (and by extension, sistery love) for our fellow good Christians. Having the physical things in this world (riches and property) is not a sign that we are born again for those things are perishable. The blood of Jesus Christ that was shed on the Holy Cross of Calvary a very long time ago cannot perish. All human flesh (made from dust) may eitherr either, grow old and/or die physically but the word of God remains forever both physically and spiritually. This is the Good News that is to be spread throughout the whole world.
NOTE THAT:
(A) THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST CANNOT PERISH.
(B) THE WORD (JESUS CHRIST) CANNOT PERISH AS THE HOLY BIBLE PASSAGE BELOW SAYS, 'SINCE YOU HAVE BEEN BORN AGAIN, NOT OF PERISHABLE SEED BUT OF IMPERISHABLE, THROUGH THE LIVING AND ABIDING WORD OF GOD; FOR "ALL FLESH IS LIKE GRASS AND ALL ITS GLORY LIKE THE FLOWER OF GRASS. THE GRASS WITHERS, AND THE FLOWER FALLS, BUT THE WORD OF THE LORD REMAINS FOREVER." AND THIS WORD IS THE GOOD NEWS THAT WAS PREACHED TO YOU.'
(C) THE PHYSICAL GOOD THINGS OF THIS WORLD, LIKE GOLD, SILVER, MONEY, CERTIFICATES, AWARDS ARE ALL PERISHABLE THINGS BUT THE WORD OF GOD IS A SEED THAT GROWS IN US TO DEVELOP IS AS BORN AGAIN CHRISTIANS (GOOD CHRISTIANS) AND CAN NEVER BE DESTROYED.
(D) THE HUMAN BEING BEARING WITNESS TO THE WORD OF GOD MAY PHYSICALLY DIE JUST LIKE THE TRUE DISCIPLES, TRUE PROPHETS AND TRUE APOSTLES OF GOD OF OLD BUT THE WORD THAT WE SPREAD, AS GOOD CHRISTIANS, CONTINUES AND LIVES FOREVER. THIS ALSO MEANS THAT THE WORK OF GOD CONTINUES NO MATTER THE PERSECUTION OF THE HUMAN FLESH BY UNBELIEVERS.
According to 1 Peter 1: 8-25
THOUGH YOU HAVE NOT SEEN HIM, YOU LOVE HIM. THOUGH YOU DO NOT NOW SEE HIM, YOU BELIEVE IN HIM AND REJOICE WITH JOY THAT IS INEXPRESSIBLE AND FILLED WITH GLORY, OBTAINING THE OUTCOME OF YOUR FAITH, THE SALVATION OF YOUR SOULS. CONCERNING THIS SALVATION, THE PROPHETS WHO PROPHESIED ABOUT THE GRACE THAT WAS TO BE YOURS SEARCHED AND INQUIRED CAREFULLY, INQUIRING WHAT A PERSON OR TIME THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST IN THEM WAS INDICATING WHEN HE PREDICTED THE SUFFERINGS OF CHRIST AND THE SUBSEQUENT GLORIES. IT WAS REVEALED TO THEM THAT THEY WERE SERVING NOT THEMSELVES BUT YOU, IN THE THINGS THAT HAVE NOW BEEN ANNOUNCED TO YOU THROUGH THOSE WHO PREACHED THE GOOD NEWS TO YOU BY THE HOLY SPIRIT SENT FROM HEAVEN, THINGS INTO WHICH ANGELS LONG TO LOOK. THEREFORE, PREPARING YOUR MINDS FOR ACTION, AND BEING SOBER-MINDED, SET YOUR HOPE FULLY ON THE GRACE THAT WILL BE BROUGHT TO YOU AT THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST. AS OBEDIENT CHILDREN, DO NOT BE CONFORMED TO THE PASSIONS OF YOUR FORMER IGNORANCE, BUT AS HE WHO CALLED YOU IS HOLY, YOU ALSO BE HOLY IN ALL YOUR CONDUCT, SINCE IT IS WRITTEN, "YOU SHALL BE HOLY, FOR I AM HOLY." AND IF YOU CALL ON HIM AS FATHER WHO JUDGES IMPARTIALLY ACCORDING TO EACH ONE'S DEEDS, CONDUCT YOURSELVES WITH FEAR THROUGHOUT THE TIME OF YOUR EXILE, KNOWING THAT YOU WERE REDEEMED FROM THE FUTILE WAYS INHERITED FROM YOUR FOREFATHERS, NOT WITH PERISHABLE THINGS SUCH AS SILVER OR GOLD, BUT WITH THE PRECIOUS BLOOD OF CHRIST, LIKE THAT OF A LAMB WITHOUT BLEMISH OR SPOT. HE WAS FOREKNOWN BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD BUT WAS MADE MANIFEST IN THE LAST TIMES FOR THE SAKE OF YOU WHO THROUGH HIM ARE BELIEVERS IN GOD, WHO RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD AND GAVE HIM GLORY, SO THAT YOUR FAITH AND HOPE ARE IN GOD. HAVING PURIFIED YOUR SOULS BY YOUR OBEDIENCE TO THE TRUTH FOR A SINCERE BROTHERLY LOVE, LOVE ONE ANOTHER EARNESTLY FROM A PURE HEART, SINCE YOU HAVE BEEN BORN AGAIN, NOT OF PERISHABLE SEED BUT OF IMPERISHABLE, THROUGH THE LIVING AND ABIDING WORD OF GOD; FOR "ALL FLESH IS LIKE GRASS AND ALL ITS GLORY LIKE THE FLOWER OF GRASS. THE GRASS WITHERS, AND THE FLOWER FALLS, BUT THE WORD OF THE LORD REMAINS FOREVER." AND THIS WORD IS THE GOOD NEWS THAT WAS PREACHED TO YOU.
(2) The Earthly Ancestors of our Lord and Master Jesus Christ (God, the Son): God is our first ancestor and He is still the God of our remaining ancestors. God is still a descendant of the ancestors to whom He is still God forever and ever more. Adam was the first man created by God on this earth straight away from the dust and God took Adam to be His son even if he later failed and disobeyed God by falling into the temptations, devices and methods of the evil one (the devil/satan). Since Adam was the son of God, then Eve was also the daughter of God. We too are designed/made by God (from the very first instant he created the first man and woman on earth called Adam and Eve) to also be the sons and daughters of God as God is our first ancestor by creation and ownership. This is why Jesus Christ (God, the son) came to this world to give us back the glory (in full) we lost (due to the costly mistake of Adam and Eve) long time ago. "WHAT GOD CANNOT DO, DOES NOT EXIST."
NOTE THAT:
(A) JESUS CHRIST (AS A DESCENDANT OF ADAM AND EVE ON THIS SAME EARTH EVEN AS HIS IS STILL GOD) STARTED HIS MINISTRY WHEN HE WAS ALMOST 30 YEARS OLD (THAT IS, BETWEEN 29 YEARS OF AGE TO 30 YEARS OF AGE).
(B) HE IS A SUPPOSED SON OF JOSEPH, THE HUSBAND OF MARY BECAUSE THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD, THE FATHER IS HIS BIOLOGICAL FATHER WHILE JOSEPH IS THE ONE THAT THE ANGEL OF GOD CONVINCED IN A DREAM TO GO AHEAD AND MARRY VIRGIN MARY (HIS BETHROTHED WHO WAS ALREADY PREGNANT WITH THE CHILD JESUS CHRIST FOR GOD, THE HOLY SPIRIT). JOSEPH IS THE ADOPTED FATHER OF JESUS CHRIST (THE SON OF GOD).
According to Luke 3: 21-38
NOW WHEN ALL THE PEOPLE WERE BAPTIZED, WHEN JESUS ALSO HAD BEEN BAPTIZED AND WAS PRAYING, THE HEAVENS OPENED, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT DESCENDED ON HIM IN BODILY FORM, LIKE A DOVE, AND A VOICE CAME FROM HEAVEN, "YOU ARE MY BELOVED SON; WITH YOU I AM WELL PLEASED." JESUS, WHEN HE BEGAN HIS MINISTRY, WAS ABOUT THIRTY YEARS OF AGE, BEING THE SON (AS WAS SUPPOSED) OF JOSEPH, THE SON OF HELI, THE SON OF MATTHAT, THE SON OF LEVI, THE SON OF MELCHI, THE SON OF LEVI, THE SON OF MELCHI, THE SON OF JANNAI, THE SON OF JOSEPH, THE SON OF MATTATHIAS, THE SON OF AMOS, THE SON OF NAHUM, THE SON OF ESLI, THE SON OF NAGGAI, THE SON OF MAATH, THE SON OF MATTATHIAS, THE SON OF SEMEIN, THE SON OF JOSECH, THE SON OF JODA, THE SON OF JOANAN, THE SON OF RHESA, THE SON OF ZERUBBABEL, THE SON OF SHEALTIEL, THE SON OF NERI, THE SON OF MELCHI, THE SON OF ADDI, THE SON OF COSAM, THE SON OF ELMADAM, THE SON OF ER, THE SON OF JOSHUA, THE SON OF ELIEZER, THE SON OF JORIM, THE SON OF MATTHAT, THE SON OF LEVI, THE SON OF SIMEON, THE SON OF JUDAH, THE SON OF JOSEPH, THE SON OF JONAM, THE SON OF ELIAKIM, THE SON OF MELEA, THE SON OF MENNA, THE SON OF MATTATHA, THE SON OF NATHAN, THE SON OF DAVID, THE SON OF JESSE, THE SON OF OBED, THE SON OF BOAZ, THE SON OF SALA, THE SON OF NAHSHON, THE SON OF AMMINADAB, THE SON OF RAM, THE SON OF HEZRON, THE SON OF PEREZ, THE SON OF JUDAH, THE SON OF JACOB, THE SON OF ISAAC, THE SON OF ABRAHAM, THE SON OF TERAH, THE SON OF NAHOR, THE SON OF SERUG, THE SON OF REU, THE SON OF PELEG, THE SON OF EBER, THE SON OF SHELAH, THE SON OF CAINAN, THE SON OF ARPHAXAD, THE SON OF SHEM, THE SON OF NOAH, THE SON OF LAMECH, THE SON OF METHUSELAH, THE SON OF ENOCH, THE SON OF JARED, THE SON OF MAHALALEEL, THE SON OF CAINAN, THE SON OF ENOS, THE SON OF SETH, THE SON OF ADAM, THE SON OF GOD.
LESSONS LEARNT:
THE HOLY SPIRIT OF JESUS CHRIST (GOD, THE SON) IS INSTRUCTING US TO BE AS HOLY AS HE IS. THUS, WE, GOOD CHRISTIANS, NEED TO FOOLOW HIS FOOTSTEPS AND DIRECTIONS AS JESUS CHRIST IS THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE.
