Pointers of Second Diagram
1. Our life is our journey on earth.
2. The first cross is when we accepted Jesus to be our personal Lord and Savior. While the last cross is our physical death here on earth.
3. Before we were sinners, lost, and sick. But through Christ I am now free from the bondage of sin and death by choice, and by the continuing transformation power of Christ in me. Healing Work.
4. The Holy Spirit is our Counselor, Searcher, Helper, Comforter, Brooding us, etc.
5. The heart is the love of God that covers us in our journey here on earth with Christ as its center of reconciliation.
6. We are focus towards the direction on continuing to know God, who is faithful, compassionate, almighty, loving, forgiving, hospitable etc...
7. The small “x” are the different challenges and trails we face in life where God continue to help us
get through. Places of death - wherever we experience death. DEFINITION OF DEATH - all loss, sadness, burden, awareness, choice and experience of sin. As we move through these challenges, we turn to Christ in each of these and we come to know more about our God and his desire to heal. We experience healing in the places of death. We develop a right concept of God. Death and fear of death loses its sting.
8. As the experience of grace builds us, we continue to know God more and because of this even though we experience of death, sadness, loss, we fear less; death has less and less power. While our concept and understanding of God widens which leads us to freedom until we face our physical death. And we move to being with God.
9. The journey of life is a continuous development of our spirituality which involves our continuing broader knowledge about God. This helps us overcome more on our challenges in life as we acknowledge God’s presence in our journey. Then, we become more and more Christlike.
10. Our life should not focus on separating each situation as distinct and separate but as if it is on the same journey in order to give us life abundant and to build on our knowledge about God. Then God can grow his kingdom (the kingdom of heaven come to earth through Jesus). larger and larger in us and through us. If we do not do this, we always go back to the cross and failing to develop and better understanding of who our God is.
