Happy 2012! :)

Happy New Year, every1 :)

So the year is coming to an end and the new one is almost an hour away. Talking about "endings", how many of you saw the movie 2012 and think that the world is going to end? This is what has been told in the Gospel of Matthew.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1 Then Jesus went out and departed from the temple, and His disciples came up to show Him the buildings of the temple. 2 And Jesus said to them, “Do you not see all these things? Assuredly, I say to you, not one stone shall be left here upon another, that shall not be thrown down.”

3 Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?” 

4 And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. 6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for allthese things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows. 

9 “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake. 10 And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another. 11 Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. 12 And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold.13 But he who endures to the end shall be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come. 

15 “Therefore when you see the ‘abomination of desolation,’ spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place” (whoever reads, let him understand), 16 “then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 17Let him who is on the housetop not go down to take anything out of his house. 18 And let him who is in the field not go back to get his clothes. 19 But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! 20 And pray that your flight may not be in winter or on the Sabbath. 21 For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. 22 And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened. 

23 “Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There!’ do not believe it. 24 For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. 25 See, I have told you beforehand. 

26 “Therefore if they say to you, ‘Look, He is in the desert!’ do not go out; or ‘Look, He is in the inner rooms!’ do not believe it. 27 For as the lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. 28 For wherever the carcass is, there the eagles will be gathered together. 

29 “Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 30 Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. (Matthew 24, New King James Version)

So lets not be concerned about the time the world comes to an end. Instead let us all do the best we can, to believe in Jesus, our saviour and love Him whole-heartedly and lead a righteouss life.

Lets all thank Jesus for His Love, Mercy and Forgiveness, without which we have no life.
Also, lets thank Him for being with us and for all His Blessings, for all these wonderful years of our lives.
Jesus, we beg You to be with us at the centre of our life and help us everyday like You always have.
We beg you to forgive us for our sins, by Your Great Glory.
Please help us overcome temptations, worldly desires and anything else that tends to separate us from Your Love. Lord, we pray to you, be with us and protect us this and all our years to come and help us become better and more righteous human beings, in short true Christians. Lord, please come into our hearts, take control of us and make us perfect. O Lord, do what is best for us, as you always have, and praise the Name of the Father through us. May we be able to serve You and Glorify Your Name, with all our heart.  Lord, please give us your Gift, The Holy Spirit and guide us along the right paths all our lives. Glory Be Yours Forever. Amen

Our Father Which Art in Heaven

Hallowed Be Thy Name

Thy Kingdom Come

Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven

Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil

For Thine is the Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory Forever.

Amen.
