Est In Illo | Yes In Christ

"But instead in Him there is only 'Yes' because Christ is Yes to all the promises of God..." — 2 Cor 1:20 



For Christ there is only " Yes" to all kinds of hopes and requests. Since His birth, Jesus had shown his sincerity in carrying out the Father's will by willingly becoming a human like us and was born from the womb of the Virgin Mary. As the son of God, of course Jesus had free will to be able to choose a Yes or a No to the will of His Father. However, because of His great love for us, without hesitation He answered "Yes" to that choice, which could be a difficult decision for us. Because of His choice, sufferings and pain became his daily food but He endured and was faithful to His calling.

As His people, Jesus' example should be imitated. Having a wide heart in helping everyone in need - without expecting anything in return - is a kind of Yes too that we should do in our today's world. Our world is suffering from a global pandemic that none of us knows when it will come to an end. Around us, there are people who are waiting for an answer, a Yes to all their hopes and prayers. Let's try to be angels that are willing to help them in their difficult moments. God bless us.
