CHRIST IS THE ANSWER

The Jesus is Lord Church Worldwide (JIL) will celebrate its 46th Anniversary on 12 October, 2024 at Quirino Grandstand in Luneta, Manila, Philippines. Celebrations will start at 3pm, but devoted JIL members and supporters will be arriving at the venue as early as 2am, coming from as far as Ilocos in the North and Quezon in the South. This year’s theme is “Christ is the Answer” based on Romans 7:25a (NLT Version): “Thank God! The answer is in Jesus Christ our Lord.”

This is timely, as obviously the world is in so much pain and darkness at the moment.

Still reeling from the tragic ravages of the Covid Pandemic, numerous parts of the world face economic and health challenges like never before. Unparalleled poverty indiscriminately slices through the various layers of society not only in third-world or developing countries (like the Philippines) but even in powerful nations like America, Japan, and Singapore, to name a few. Inflation is everywhere; basic commodities, i.e. food items, have become ridiculously pricey. Meanwhile, people are getting sick more easily and more frequently, pushing governments to be more engaged in monitoring the physical and mental health of their constituents. But no matter how serious these material and health problems seem to be, the more urgent issue at hand is moral and spiritual bankruptcy.

The Word of God in 2 Timothy 3:1-4 is on-point when it said, “…in the last days there come times of difficulty…people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasures rather than lovers of God…”

Taking advantage of the legit-sounding term “gender dysphoria,” members of the Alphabet Community (LGBTQA++) are shamelessly parading their love for self and pleasure, unholiness, and plain and simple recklessness by dishonouring “their own bodies between themselves…even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature. And likewise, also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is shameful…” (Romans 1:24, 26-27 KJ2000 Version). They shall not inherit the Kingdom of God (1 Corinthians 6:9). It appears proponents of homosexuality and transgenderism are promised wholeness in their so-called gender choice. This is one of the saddest lies to ever come from hell; only in Christ can fallen ma find full and true life, because when you have Christ, you have everything. “Of His fullness have all we received, and grace for grace.” (John 1:16)

Poverty. Sicknesses, diseases, and infirmities. Mental confusion. Violence, heinous crimes, and incredible political scenarios. Famine and calamities. Above all, moral bankruptcy, enslavement to sin, and spiritual deadness.

Where do we turn? Who has the answer?

It pleased the Father that in Christ Jesus should all fullness dwell (John 1:16), therefore our completeness is in Him. So, we come to Christ--the One who rules over all powers in heaven and earth. We bow our knees to Jesus our Lord, the unchanging, Omnipotent Christ who remains absolutely the same (Hebrews 13:8) in a rapidly changing, deteriorating world.

Only Christ is THE answer. Only Christ HAS the answer. All of GOD (His power, attributes, etc) is IN Christ. The sick, the poor, the lost, and the confused—those whose lives have been almost devoured by the evil one can now RECEIVE the ANSWER: hope, peace, and abundant life here, and eternal life with the Father, in heaven. (John 10:10)

We need to tell others about Him! We need to bring our communities to Christ. We need to proclaim that JESUS CHRIST IS TRULY THE ANSWER TO ALL OF FALLEN MAN’S COMPLETE NEEDS (body, soul, and spirit). He Himself gave us the Great Commission, with a reminder that all powers belonged to Him: “18 …All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world...”

CHRIST IS THE ANSWER, “For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.” (Colossians 1:16-17 King James Version)
