Revolution is always brought about by the powerful in the world. They use all power options to force a change. Those who are strong and have power at their disposal, force their ideology on others and rule over them. They bring about a change by force and do not allow freedom of self will, for the people and call this a Revolution. China’s communist leader Mao said: Revolution comes from the barrel of a Gun. Social, political and religious revolutions: Religious wars have been fought, and force has been used, religious cities and so called holy places have been war ravaged. Religious leaders have fought wars and taught their followers to use weapons. And forced conversion of countless people into their religion. Their morality is colored with blood. Fascist mentality: Organizations become powerful; they use every force to dominate on people. They have the name of God, just on their lips, but violence is in their hands and hearts. The truth is, that we are transformed gradually into a personality of our belief. In other words what we become what we believe. The Doctrine we follow shapes our direction. A disciple becomes more like his guru. Today many Fascist organizations, religious leaders, political parties, and others buy their power and authority, with money and weapons. Their foundation is not laid on justice, truth and love, but greed and pride. Weapon worship and display: Weapons are created for destruction; they are not symbols of peace. Weapons have no relation to a living and loving God. God is our creator and father. He saves us and is the source of life. He comes to save sinners, from eternal destruction brought about by sin in this world. Weapons are the instruments of devil that helps him to establish his evil rule and spread fear. Revolution with the aid of weapons is not a divine revolution. He who takes up the sword will be destroyed by the sword: There are many militant organizations in front of you today, they are waging a war on the society and civilization, to overthrow a lawfully elected government, by means of force and violence. They want to bring about a revolution by annihilating their opponents. And there are others, who use some other similar way with the same goal of bringing about a social, religious, or political revolution. History is witness to the fact that millions lost their lives in the violence, which accompanies such a revolution. Then we hear from Lord Jesus the most challenging statement. “He who takes up the sword will be destroyed by the sword. [Bible. Mathew 26:52]] Let us look at the “Revolution of the weak: The dawn of a new revolution in human history. A revolution, that has lasted for centuries and is meant to last till eternity. This turned its followers into a new creation. They were transformed from within. And as a consequence of this the door of a spiritual world, was opened for mankind. Man could have access to the presence of God and receive Moksha. Beginnings: Nearly 2000 years ago, creator God himself comes down to earth, in the form of a human. Leaving his eternal glory behind and his throne of authority and power aside, and humbles himself to take up human flesh. He is born in a manger where animals are kept. He is born into a poor family. He takes up the form of a servant, and brings with himself the divine truth of God. He proclaims the goal of Revolution by his claim “I am the Way the Truth and the Life. No man comes to the father God but only by me”. He brings about his Revolution of Moksha by offering himself as the eternal Sacrifice on the alter of the cross. Love - sacrifices own life, to save the enemy: Bible says, “A man could possibly dare to die for his friends, but true love gives life to save the enemy. [Bible. Romans 5:7] Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. Lord Jesus after his sacrificial death, comes back alive from death on the third day and thereafter is seated on his throne in heaven, after his ascension from the earth. The revolution that originates in the weakness of a cow shed culminates in its triumph on the cross. Lord Jesus, who brought revolution of transformation of man, started it among the weak and lowly, by himself, becoming weak. The Revolution Manifesto: “The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed” – Luke 4:18 What is “Good news to the poor”: This means you do not need to offer money or material to receive your salvation or Moksha. No need to do penance or hard labour. There is no need to wander around in places in the world in search of God or moksha. The Creator of the universe our God is our father, and he is not lost, but it is we humans that are lost. And Jesus Christ himself has brought good news of deliverance to our doorstep. Now there is no need for us to get cheated by the lies of so called religious people who invoke the name of God for their selfish material gains. What is “Freedom for the prisoners”: Prisoners are those, who are in bondage by their own traditions and rituals, society, family and superstition. They can only be freed by the power of Gods Spirit. They will only be delivered by the word of Lord Jesus, and will be able to receive the gift of Moksha. Lord Jesus said “you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free. [Bible. John 8:32] What is “Sight for the blind”: Ignorance of the truth is living a life without light and living in total darkness. Truth takes us forward by removing our darkness and leads us, into the presence of God. Those who are physically blind are not the blind but in Gods view blind is one who does not recognize the Truth. When our eyes open, we are able to see sin as sin, and we recognize our Living God and start rejecting superstition and the tantra-mantra of Satan. What is “Releasing the oppressed”: Oppressed are those, who are the victims in this world, they experience the persecution and injustice of the society. They are downtrodden and are considered the scum of the society. They are ill treated, persecuted and their fundamental rights are taken away. They neither get wages nor their freedom. Their families suffer poverty, racism and violence. Lord Jesus comes to their side and for their redemption and walks into their homes; he lifts them up and gives them good news of kingdom of heaven. The Revolutionaries: Ordinary people like you and me are involved in the revolution of Lord Jesus. The Poor, blind, prisoners and oppressed people. This revolution is not brought about by the might of the sword, money or miracles, but this is realized by the shedding of holy blood of son of God, Lord Jesus. As a consequence of this Satan’s rule has been overturned and we have received our Moksha. Revolution came through giving life, not taking: The foundation of this revolution is ‘the love of God’. Lord Jesus defeated the rule of darkness that had the ingredients of lies and violence. Now the good news is if you happen to belong to any of the above categories, then it is your revolution. The author of this revolution Lord Jesus, was taken as weak by the world, and crucified on the cross. The cross was a weapon for Lord Jesus. By taking up the cross, He could pay the penalty of our sins with his own holy blood. This was indeed the plan of God. And this is how He conquered the world. Humility and meekness: Lord Jesus came to serve and by washing the feet of his disciple’s he gave them the lesson of meekness and humility. He said, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant and whoever wants to be a ruler must be slave of all. He sent the message of “revolution of the weak” to his followers and said: “I am sending you out like sheep among wolves” Because the revolution will come through the defeat of evil forces by the weak. Revolution will not come through force or weapons, or a holy war in the name of religion and God. It will come only by Gods power of Transformation of man. This is not a religious revolution; but a revolution of Life and Moksha. As it is written in the bible: “But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. He chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things–and the things that are not–to nullify the things that are, so that no one may boast before him”. [Bible.1 Cor 1:27-29] Lord Jesus declared his triumph and said: I have conquered this world. He is the one who replaced the dominion of Satan from the lives of human beings and brought believers into the kingdom of God. Through his sacrifice on the cross this victory is imparted to all those who believe in Lord Jesus. He gives us the gift of Moksha. Have you been wandering in search of Moksha? Then believe in Lord Jesus and pray this prayer, for your salvation: "Lord Jesus, I am poor, blind, captive and oppressed in this world. I am a slave of sin and satan. I believe that you died on the cross for my sins and shed your holy blood. Forgive my sins. Give me your holy spirit, give me new life, I will obey you from today.” - Amen
