When Tragedy Strikes, Where Is God?

Until when are we going to be chasing the world our way? What happened yesterday in Bondi? What is this? No human has the right to take another human's life simply because none of us are God. The only one who gave this life is God. He is therefore the only one entitled to take it because he's the one who gave it.

And this God definitely doesn't order to kill others, definitely doesn't. We may disagree on our belief systems, we may disagree on our ideologies, we may disagree on our way of thinking and lifestyle, but at the end we have no right to take no one's life. I'm a Christian, you're a Muslim, you're a Jew, you're a Hindu, you're a Buddhist, you're an atheist, but we are all human beings.

We don't have that privilege nor that right to take any human's life. We don't because we are simply not God. And if any God orders to kill, I don't wish to follow that God.

We need to live with peace and tranquility. Yes, we may disagree. And when I stand as a Christian and say Jesus Christ is my God, I'll say it with confidence.

I'll say it, this is my faith and I am proud to be a Christian and I will never be ashamed of my Lord Jesus before the whole world. And I will say there is only one God who created this universe, who created everything that is visible and invisible, and this God is Jesus Christ of Nazareth till the day he calls it the day. For Christ I live, for Christ I die.

This is the truth. I'll never walk away from that. But just because you don't believe in my Lord as being God, that doesn't give me the right to go and harm you in any way, form or shape.

But this is our time and age. We are living in the core of evilness. Absolute darkness to the core.

Humanity is blinded spiritually, not physically. But the physical sight is blind without the spiritual insight. It is blind.

It takes God to open a person's eyes. This God is Jesus Christ of Nazareth. I pray the whole world come and have an encounter, a true encounter with Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

I pray. I totally disagree with this bloodshed, what happened in the Gaza Strip. Absolutely unacceptable.

When I see an innocent child crying because they've lost their parents. When I see this father lost his family, shedding tears and crying on top of his voice, sitting on that rubble of concrete because the whole family was crushed under it. I don't care if you tell me they are Palestinians, they are human beings.

Nobody has the right to go and kill. Nobody. We shouldn't.

We can't act savagely. We can't act inhumane. We are humans for God's sake.

Until when are we going to go and slay one another in the name of whatever belief I have and whatever ideology I have. You have no right, period. But you see that's the end result when people walk away from God.

Australia needs Jesus Christ of Nazareth desperately. Government and the entire nation. America needs Jesus Christ of Nazareth desperately.

Canada needs Jesus Christ of Nazareth desperately. The entire Europe needs Jesus Christ of Nazareth desperately. And shame on those countries who were once upon a time built on Christian ethics, values and principles and now they are living in total denial of the true Messiah and the Savior of the world.

Shame on such countries. Shame on such leaders. Shame on them.

Let me say this. Maybe you will misunderstand. You will misplace it in a different way.

That's your choice. But let me tell you one thing. There is God and the true divine God who created everything and everyone.

Enough of this nonsense Big Bang. Looks like the Big Bang happened in your empty head. There is one who caused the Big Bang to take place and who was in total control of everything that became into existence thereafter.

This God for me is Jesus Christ of Nazareth. He is God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. That is my Christian belief.

I believe in the trium God. One in nature, one in essence. And Jesus Christ, the beloved Son of God who is God himself revealed in the flesh, came to save us all from eternal darkness, from eternal death, from eternal blindness, from eternal condemnation, from eternal sin, from Satan who is devouring the world.

Oh my my. Just look how the world is behaving. Absolute evil.

The Lord Jesus said it. The tree is known by its fruits. How do you know if the roots are good or evil? Look at the fruits.

You will know exactly what kind of a roots is to this tree. Look at the fruits of the world. You can tell the roots are evil because the roots of the world is Satan.

And look at the fruits of a true follower of Christ. Not all Christians follow Jesus Christ, but those who truly followed him. Look at the saints, how they lived.

Oh my goodness. You could see clearly the roots are good because the roots are the good God. His name is Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

That's why the fruits are good because the fruits are the result of the good roots. I encourage every Christian leader to come back to Christ and all Christians to really unite. If you have your theological indifferences and your dogmas and your canon laws, please just put them aside for now.

But for the sake of the Lord, unite. I'm not going to say for the Catholic to be Orthodox or the Orthodox to be Catholic. Please.

That's been a struggle for many centuries and it's very sad. But at least unite in acknowledging that we are all Christians and we need to come together because the times are evil. It is not the time now to excommunicate this and to put a boundary on this and to divide this.

We need to be wise. 16 people, their lives were taken yesterday. There's tens of them still in hospital.

Some of them are in critical. Hopefully, they'll make it and I pray they make it. But one of those who lost their life was a 10-year-old boy and others are in the tens of thousands were lost.

The Middle East region has been a bloodshed, a bath of bloodshed for centuries. When you receive Christ, oh my goodness, everything in you changes. Truly.

Some people till now ask me, how did you forgive the one who stabbed you, Bishop? I said, it's not me. Until when are we going to talk this way? It's the Lord, not me. I'm a nothing.

I'm a sinner. If it was up to me, I'll take revenge. But it's the Lord who taught me on how to love those who are against me, on how to forgive those who have hurt me, how to pray for those who persecute me.

It is the Lord. For the Lord's sake, we need to wake up and open our eyes. This is Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

And if I see him now, from the bottom of my heart, I will hug him and I will kiss the very hand that stabbed and took this eye away. Yes, this is a prosthetic eye. It's fake.

Because the first stab came right in the eye. It's gone. But I will kiss that hand.

Why? Because Jesus is my Lord, my teacher, my savior, my redeemer, my father, my mother, my brother, my family, my everything. That's it. Very simple.

But I will never stop speaking this truth that my God is Jesus Christ. This will never change. But it's sad to go and kill someone just because they have a different identity to you.

But we're humans.
