What can we be likened to?

  • “What thing shall I take to witness for you? what thing shall I liken to you, O daughter of Jerusalem? what shall I equal to you, that I may comfort you, O virgin daughter of Zion? for your breach is great like the sea: who can heal you?” (Lamentations 2.13).
What is our likeliness? At first, we should be the image of the Creator, after His likeness (Genesis 1.26). However, in virtue of, many times, we find out things that are pleasurable to the flesh, we gave in to the pressures of the society, fit into the mould of the system and gave up of our identity.

It’s obvious that, there are moments that we bump into a few kinks, handicaps, mishaps, everything looks like a mayhem. But we need to work out all these setbacks complying the Holy Scripture with alacrity. We need to be keen on Jesus if we look forward to coming by His boons.

Perhaps you try to demur: I can’t do this.

Don’t balk at it! If you turn down to abide by what Jesus enjoins, your handicaps will only be deferred. And the worst: you will lose your identity. At this moment, how will it be doable for you to find Creator’s solace? You will end up like Adam: disturbed within the paradise created especially for you (see Genesis 3.7) and, obviously, always antsy, bummed, afar off from the peace.

So, don’t be walloped by Ha-Satan (as in Acts 19.13-16); rather, try to dig up who are you before the Creator (1Corinthians 13.12), as well as His alliance with you (Psalms 25.14) and have a supernatural day being yourself and living on His flesh and blood (John 6.51-57).
