Get closer to Jesus by your free will

In Luke 19.41, Jesus cried when He saw Jerusalem. When He looked at His people watching the city He knew that nation wouldn`t submit themselves to the good because the purpose of His coming was His sacrifice to guide that nation to the right path. Jesus wanted Jerusalem to recognize the magnitude of God, which is the free will, the right of choice. If God wanted, He could impose men anything, but He gave us freedom to choose whatever we wanted. Man has been aware of good and evil since the original sin of Even and Adam, but the choice is yours. There are moments in our lives that God is extraordinarily big and others when He is small. Because when God manifests in your life He is as big as your faith. We decide whether we give place to God and believe in Him or not. Jesus asked Himself what was necessary for Jerusalem to recognize, to follow God, and have the initiative of seeing the Lord because everyone who wish to see Him in their lives, they will. No one knows the day when Jesus was born. The 25th December was elected for convenience for religions and for trades. Also, the Bible says that wise men came from, not necessarily three. What they wanted, those Magi, was to see Jesus.

God knows you, from the womb of your mother. I didn't introduce God to you, or anything like that. You're the one who leaned to God who already knows you and, when you come to God, good things happen to you.

Jesus said He liked so much those people that He wanted to make them be with Him, but He couldn't do that. According to Jesus, there was an enemy trench and a trench protects the enemy and exposes our lives. Actually, Jerusalem was besieged and until today has no peace. Who has no interest in Jesus and rejects when a star appears to guide you, your life will be surrounded from all sides, if it hasn't already been surrounded. Jesus also said that we are more blessed, because we didn't see it, but we have constant contact with him, we need his presence. The Brazil is one of the countries that preach the word of God. God is giving the opportunity today. Be aware that if you follow the star, you will reach the baby Jesus, you will have an encounter with God and see God's glory in your life. God's eyes are on your life; acknowledge Him as your Savior.
