Something or Nothing

dear all,

John 15:16
"You did not choose me; I chose you and appointed you to go and bear much fruit, the kind of fruit that endures. And so the Father will give you whatever you ask of him in my name.'

Jesus has always been the extraordinary Man and God in my life and i bet also in the lives of many people who has earnestly seek Him. And we all should know too that His Way is always the highest.
When Jesus said I chose you... Who did he choose?
Do you ever think of the question before? No?

As you go through the Bible yourself especially the books of Gospel or even the old Testament, Jesus literally chose someone who is considered nothing to the society or even nothing to themselves, to be his disciple or His important person to be a part in His great and extraordinary plan for the world ( to save the world). The Galilean fishermen Simon Peter, Andrew, James and John, starts with John the Baptist are the few fishermen who are being picked by Jesus to be His Follower. Fishermen during their period of time was labeled as useless, worthless, despised, and ignored by the society. Yet, Jesus chose them. Jesus Himself who was ,is and is to come ,the King of kings and the Lord of lords humble Himself to become someone who is considered nothing to the world. The world, that He created by His own hand. He was from the weakest and the poorest tribe in the town of Bethelehem in Judae and was born in a manger. During the last days of His life, He was crucified on the cross by His own people who had treated Him as if He is an animal. He was being kicked, humiliated, beaten up, scourged, spat, slapped and chained and crucified. In all, He was also considered nothing to His society. However, great things were yet to come. By His Blood, He saved the world. By His blood , He saved you and me.

Jesus said in-
Pro 3:34 "He has no use for conceited people, but shows favor to those who are humble"

Psa 18:27 "You (God) save those who are humble, but you humble those who are proud."
( God said He will save those who are humble, but He did't say I will save those who are proud )

1Co 1:27 "God purposely chose what the world considers nonsense (nothing) in order to shame the wise, and he chose what the world considers weak in order to shame the powerful."


Jesus choose people who are considered nothing to the world, to shame the wise.
Wow...
As we all know, people tend to compare themselves with other or even to an extend, to put others in their shoe and ended up condemning and demoting others. They are pleased with what they have or when they have " Something". Degrees, branded goods, cars, how many ex-, popularity, and so on.... But do you know what Jesus said regarding all these things , TOTAL FOOLISH...

So, my friend, do you consider yourself something or nothing?

Let me throw you a simple question.... What will Jesus think of me?

God Bless...
