Inspired by Biblical references

In the Gospel of John 10:11-15, Jesus states "I am the good shepherd"

I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. He who is a hired hand, and not a shepherd, who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming, leaves the sheep, and flees. The wolf snatches the sheep, and scatters them. The hired hand flees because he is a hired hand, and does not care for the sheep. 

I am the good shepherd. I know my sheep, and my sheep know me, just as the Father knows me, and I know the Father. I lay down my life for the sheep.

Violin Diary I

Composed by Samuel Johanes (2020)

In this piece, I try to make music based on Biblical love story at the end of time

Christ, who is the Bridegroom waiting patiently for the Bride who is the church to unite with him

This moment of union which we call the Rapture will soon occur
at any time,
any moment,
even at any second of our breath

Do you know how long Christ has been waiting to be united with the Bride / church? Certainly more or less 2000 years since the early church was built by the apostles

Waiting is not easy
That is another hard task that must be faced by Lord Jesus after dying on the cross

2000 years is needed to fulfill prophecies given to Biblical prophets and to perfect his churches (the seven church eras) in theology, spirituality, knowledge of God, fear of God, worship, heavenly gifts and the number of people who are determined to belong to Him

However, the Rapture will be the same as the days of Noah (Matt. 24 : 37-39) not everyone is ready, even Christians

Christians (Bride/church) who are ready will be taken to heaven and meet Him (Bridegroom) having an everlasting joy and rest

But those who are not ready when the Bridegroom comes will be left behind (read Matt 25, the parables of the ten virgins) and face the horror of Father's wrath on earth (read those prophecies in the book of Revelation)

What makes Christians/church/bride not ready?
- You still love the world more than Him and his words
- You still compromise sin, though Jesus said "go, and sin no more" (John 8 : 11)
- You are not waiting, not preparing for the coming of Christ / the Rapture

Some churches today avoid / do not want to touch this subject. They're too occupied with worldly pleasure teaching such as materialism, wealth, money, blessings, humanism, arguing theology, debating Biblical teaching, philosophy, intellectual thinking, ambition, business, building your own empire, worldly happiness, shaping your own future although there is no more future left in this dying world that will soon be judged by Father

If you are still reading my writing until this paragraph, I beg you with these two words, "Get Ready!"

He is coming soon, our beloved Bridegroom. He will come as he says in the Bible. He is a God who cannot lie.

Examine your life, repent and stop sinning. Seperate yourself from anything that comes from the world: entertainment, media, ambition, worldly ways of thinking, even music (a lot of music nowadays promotes drugs, violence, witchcraft, satanism, sexual act, lust, rebellion, evil etc. God HATES anything that promotes sin and separates you from Him) and many many many more in our daily life. Be holy!

And do anything you can to tell your family, your friends that Jesus is coming. Teach them, guide them and prepare them also. Amen

Overture

Overture II - JEHOVAH with thousands upon thousands of chariots

God is love
and His love is eternal, unlimited and beyond our human understanding

In the first era/old testament,
people hardly recognized His love for humanity

At that time,
people thought God was cruel, merciless and always ready to punish, kill and destroy all kinds of evil/sin

But we can see clearly God's love in Jesus Christ

Jesus Christ is the embodiment of God's love
He was sent to come to this world, died on the cross to atone for the sins of mankind, so that people have a way to come to the source of love, namely God Himself

Happy are those who believe in Him, for your reward is eternal life

In Ephesians 3:18 apostle Paul try to describe God's love
But somehow Paul didn't really mention a definite measure of how wide, long, deep and high God's love is

It is as big as the universe, that is God's love!

If you can travel to the end of universe, from eternity to eternity even to the second eternity... that is the width, length, depth, and height of God's love

It's infinite.
-
Hopefully... with this short piece,
you can hear and feel the glimpse of God's infinite love

Even have a further understanding of His love
