Asia is a continent of festivals. It is said that Nepal has got the largest number of festivals. There will be atleast one festival within a fortnight. Do festivals give us lasting joy? The joy of the festival lasts for a day. At the end of the festival, joy ends and gloom and even despair set in.
We live in a world of endless pain. God can convert our world into endless joy in Holy Spirit. God has done a unique work on the cross of Calvary. The death of Jesus Christ is not a defeat but victory. Though Judas, pilot, roman soliders, Jews and even the whole humanity is responsible for his death, it was ordained by God
The Bible says, "in this way God took away Satan's power to accuse you of sin, and God openly displayed to the whole world Christ's triumph at the cross where your sins were all taken away(Colossians 2:15) the famous hymn writer sings,
"I'll never know how much it costs
To see my sins upon the cross...."
Today, man is between Christ and Satan. Even if you possess the whole world, without Christ you are part of the world of endless pain. With Christ in your heart you will experience his triumph at the cross as part of your life. "But thanks be to God, Who always leads us in triumphal procession in Christ and through us spreads everywhere the fragrance of the knowledge of him."(2Cor 2:14)
