Generations cleansed by the Cross

How would Jesus cleanse the whole generations from sin on the Cross of Calvary?

"He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for our sins but also for the sins of the whole world". 1John.2:2 (NIV)
This verse just stuck me, it reminded me of my father questioning and enquiring me as well as others by asking, "I would believe that He has cleaned the sins before Him (Romans.3:25), but how could He cleanse the sins that were not yet committed after Him"? I didn't answer that question that time and believed in the Lord's sacrificial death and resurrection and truly believed some day God would give me a strong answer that everyone would accept. Atleast after 15 years of waiting, now I know that I have the answer.

We all know that we (from our our forefather Adam and Eve) are all, were made out of dust, Genesis.2:7, and breathed into us the breath of life, Acts.17:25 by God. After being provided with every need by God, man by listening to satan and going against the will of God, man sinned and brought death (Romans.6:23) onto himself and through him to all the next generations (Romans.5:12). So, God cursed Adam saying, "..Since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return", Genesis.3:19 (NIV). And now here lies the key to the question, how would Jesus cleanse the sins of all the next generations after His crucifixion in advance? As we are all made out of the dust through Adam, we all have to return back to dust after our death through Adam. "Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it". Ecclesiastes.12:7 (KJV).

We all know that Jesus died on the Cross of Calvary. His blood drained from His body through the Crown of thorns (Matthew.27:29, Mark.15:17), through whipping (Luke.23:16, John.19:1) and through crucifixion on the Cross by nails (Matthew.27:35, Mark.15:24, Luke.23:33, John.19:18) made the earth (dust) swampy. As we are all made out of dust and return to dust, that very dust was cleansed by the soaking blood of Jesus. But here some may arise a question that, who ever is born after crucifixion of Jesus Christ is holy? However, each child is born into different faiths even if it's Christianity, they all have to confess and believe, "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek (a christian and a non-christian): for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." Romans.10:9-13 (KJV).

Father's Day - The Day I Never Felt The Same

I woke up as I usually do,
I did my best as I regularly do,
I tried to be joyful as I always do,
But still I don't feel the same as I do.

Dad you were been my best friend,
That I hadn't seen such a friend like you,
There's nothing secret we shared,
The good ones and the bad ones,
You were there whenever I needed,
How could I live here without you,
You were always there in memories,
Every suggestion you gave does the best,
Every act of mine reminds me of you,
There is no day that I didn't remember you
But still, why's this day different from all the other days.
Though I lost you physically,
Your presence never left me alone,
I can feel you as I put you in words,
Hope you are joyful in the Lords house,
Waiting for the time that I'll be there too,
Where there would be more joy and happiness,
Where we would live forever and ever.

Remembering you Dad, my lost friend.

Mother's Day - Getting Back In Time

Happy Mother's Day.

Bring me back those days time,
Bring me back those days,
The days I lived with my mother,
The times I spent with her,
Those days I was pampered by her.,
Those days I was disciplined by her,
You taught me everything I am now,
You gave me freedom to make my choice's,
You are there encouraging me when I took a bold step,
You gave me the advise when all my advices gone wrong,
Sometimes you are my queen passing on orders,
Sometimes you are my minister giving me advises,
Sometimes you are my caretaker who keeps me safe,
Sometimes you are my teacher who taught me the best,
I don't forget those days when you've been my playing partner,
I don't forget those days when you've stood by me when I'm depressed,
I don't forget those days when I rested in your lap without any worries,
I don't forget those days when I listened to your fantasy stories with awe,
Though I've grown up I still remember those days,
Though you are not with me I look back in the sky seeking your face,
Though I know you won't come back I sometimes daze at the door,
Though I want to forget I can't empty my thoughts of you,
I know I don't have the strength to get you back in time,
Pleadingly I ask the time to get me back my days once, get me back once.
Remembering you Amma (Mother) - Suneel Damerakula.

Child of God, Realization

I was brought into this world nameless,
I was given a name which is not mine,
I was grown up with that name,
I was called by everyone by that name,
My academics, my carrier and my everything was on that name,
Even my wrong doings and my sins one day accuse me by my name,
A name that wasn't me gave me nothing but death eternal,
A death that I was to have, was takenup by someone whom I knew never.
But when I knew Him, He said, as I took your sins and it's consequences,
You are no more yours, but MINE,
And given me a new name, which is my actual name,
He (God) made me carefully and wonderfully and gave me that name,
Knowing not with what I'm called by,
Gave myself a name and lived my life, my way,
But now as I know my name, renewed and cleansed,
I'm blessed and live eternally in my Lord's house, as I'm called, "Child of God".

Remembering the Holocaust

Remembering the Holocaust -

My brothers of the Promised Land,
The time that passed away tells of you,
The time you have been through,
The times of your walk in faith,
The time you were enslaved,
God brought you out through parting the sea,
The time you were conquered and exiled,
God brought you out by His promise,
The time tried to exterminate you,
A queen brought you out;

We remember the time that tried to wipe you out,
We remember the Auschwitz,
We remember the Dachau and more,
We remember the grey blue dress that you wore,
We remember the guns that put you to death,
We remember the poisonous gas that made you suffocate to death,
We remember the trains that bulldozed you,
We remember those families that are divided,
We remember those lengthy pits that engulfed you alive,
We remember the incinerators that burned you to dust round the clock,
We remember the yellow star that you stitched and painted as you wore them bravely,
We remember the days that the world left you alone,
We remember time how you were humiliated,
We remember the researches that made on you,
We remember the woods that gave you refuge,
We remember the tunnels that you escaped through,
We remember those brave souls that rebelled for you,
We remember those efforts at Warsaw,
We remember all that you have gone through;

The God your God listened to you,
Brought you out and gave you, your land,
Punished those who tried to wipe you out,
You still are being humiliated,
From the north, the south and the east,
Time for our Messiah is come,
When He comes in His full sovereignty,
Your day of the victory is so near,
This our prayer for you,
This is our desire for you,
Your younger brothers loves you,
As you read through every word, this is the truth.
- Suneel Damerakula.

Me, Righteous in His Righteousness

Oh! When I see myself,
I ponder upon how I look,
With all His complete love,
With all His complete satisfaction,
With all His complete joy,
With all His complete care,
He made me, And
Leaving out all the creation,
Looked onto me as His completeness,
And blew into me His own life,
A life desired to Honor Him,
A life desired to Extol Him,
A life desired to Worship Him,
A life desired to Obey Him,
Not as He wanted the way to be,
But given me the Independence to be,
A spiritual Man.

But I made Him grieve,
When I sold myself to the adversary,
With the vices of sin,
Bounded myself as a slave to sin,
With no joy, happiness, freedom,
Kept locked in his vices forever,
God looked unto me with grace,
Thinking of His joyous pain in making me,
Keeping aside His Sovereignty,
Stepping down into my image,
Kept Himself away from vices of world,
To be my Atonement and Salvation,
Gave up Himself being God in Man,
Breaking up my chains of slavery,
Into a Child of His Name,
Giving back what all I lost,
Made me look much more handsome,
Cleansing me as white as snow,
With His Life and Blood,
A Pure Sinless and Spotless Sacrifice,
Into much more beautiful than I was,
A Sinless and Spotless as He is,
A Righteous in His Righteousness,
When I see myself.
