BAKIT NGA BA?

God can create anything out of nothing.

"... the world was created by the word of God, so that WHAT IS SEEN was MADE out of THINGS WHICH DO NOT APPEAR" - Hebrews 11:3

God can create anything with His almighty Word.

"By the word of the Lord the heavens were made" - Psalm 33:6

God owns everything.

"The heavens ARE YOURS, the earth also IS YOURS" - Psalm 89:11

So if you had everything, you own everything & you can make anything then why pursue that ONE thing?

"If a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them has gone astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go in search of the one that went astray?" - Matthew 18:12

What did the verse say again? He does not just leave the 99. God pursues that missing one Himself.

“For thus says the Lord GOD: Behold, I, I myself will search for my sheep, and will seek them out" - Ezekiel 34:11

WHY o WHY?

I still remember the first time I accompanied my son in his school field trip. He was in pre-school then. There were only two adult men in the bus, me & the driver. The other students had their moms as their chaperons. I wanted to participate in their conversations during the breaks but I had nothing to say. They talked about cooking, shopping, "mani & pedi”, showbiz news & the best salons. I only smiled back or said “agree!” every time they asked for my opinion.

I felt awkward. I felt embarrassed. I felt lost. So why did I do it? Why did I chose to personally accompany him?

WHY o WHY? BAKIT NGA BA?

LOVE.

I love my son & I’m willing to do this for him. Don’t we do crazy & un-explainable things for love? And that’s the imperfect & sinful me.

How about God?

God is perfect. God can easily create another human if one gets lost. God can chose to attend to the 99. But what does God do?

GOD LEAVES THE 99 & PURSUES THE LOST ONE. Then rejoicing follows.

"And if he finds it, truly, I say to you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine that never went astray” - Matthew 18:13

WHY o WHY? BAKIT NGA BA? Why does God do it?

LOVE. John 3:16 says it all. GOD chose to SAVE you out of love.

"even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him” - Ephesians 1:4
