Friday: Further Study – Jesus in Jerusalem — 2 Comments

  1. Praise the LORD who gives meaning to our lives, who gives us a reason to carry on, who promises us eternal life in a perfect world with no more sighing or dying.
    I don't agree with Alex Rosenberg that depression is merely a particular configuration of neurons, I believe depression is a serious matter, particularly if it continues over a long period of time. The person that suffers from ongoing depression needs love and counselling to help them gain a better perspective. However those who suffer from clinical depression which means they have chemical imbalance in their brain also need medical help.
    Jesus gives us an example in the paralytic who was lowered through the roof:
    this man couldn't help himself his friends brought him to Jesus - just so a person who is clinically depressed can't help themselves they need outside help
    Jesus' first & main concern was to heal him spiritually but he also healed him physically - just so one who is clinically depressed needs healing of their mind and body

    And the Good News is that Jesus does both either by a miracle or by working through the means He provides of a counsellor and medicine.

  2. No wonder the bible ascribes the word "fool" to thinkers such as my learned friend Alex Rosenberg! Now we see the valuable treasure that we possess simply by just "Knowing Jesus" .... imagine the many times we've been depressed, worn & frustrated and a simple prayer, prayer meeting or worship gathering made us feel alive n back on track again! Oh what potency & efficacy WITHOUT any drug..isn't our Lord awesome!!! Partaking worthily of his spilt blood & broken body shows that we've acknowledged, accepted and are assured that of his utmost power to redeem and save us. "Lord may I be pleasing to see, when holy eyes gaze upon me..." Let this be our prayer in Jesus name...Amen! Remember, "WE'VE BEEN MADE MORE THAN CONQUERORS THROUGH THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST!" 🙂
