Aaj subah hum Khudawand Yesua ki awaaz sunein jo hum mein se har aik se keh rahi hai, “main teri madad karoonga.” Yeh awaaz mere liye, ya‘ni tere Khuda ke liye, koi bari baat nahin ke main teri madad karoon; zara ghaur kar ke main ab tak tere liye kya kuch kar chuka hoon. Kya main aage teri madad nahin karoonga? Main ne tujhe apne khoon se khareeda hai, kya main teri madad nahin karoonga? Main ne teri khatir apni jaan di hai, aur jab main ne itna bara kaam kar diya hai to kya tera chhota sa kaam nahin karoon ga? Teri madad karna to mere liye mamooli baat hai jo main zaroor karoonga; dekh, main is se kahin barh kar tere liye kar chuka hoon aur ab is se bhi barh kar karoonga. Bina-e-aalam se pehle main ne tujhe chun liya, main ne tere saath ahad baandha, main ne apne jaah o jalal ko aik taraf rakha aur tere liye insaan ban kar duniya mein aa gaya, tere liye main ne apni jaan tak nichhawar kar di; aur agar main ne yeh sab kuch kiya hai to yaqeenan ab bhi teri madad karoonga. Teri madad karte hue darasal main tujhe wahi kuch de raha hoon jo main ne pehle hi tere liye khareed rakha hai; agar tujhe hazaar guna zyada madad ki bhi zarurat hoti to main woh bhi tujhe de deta. Jo kuch tu maangta hai woh us ke muqablay mein bohat thora hai jo main tujhe dene ke liye tayyar hoon; tere nazdeek teri zarurat bohat bari hai magar mere nazdeek teri zarurat kuch bhi nahin. Kya main teri madad karoonga? Zaroor, is liye khauf na kar. Agar tere zakhira-khaane ke darwaze par aik nanhi si cheenti madad maangne aa jaaye to kya aik muthi anaaj dene se tu barbaad ho jaayega? Aur tu bhi mere la-mehdood zakhira-khaane par aik nihayat mamooli sa wajood hai; main zaroor teri madad karoonga. Ae meri jaan, kya yeh kaafi nahin? Kya tujhe Khuda-e-Saloos o Qadir-e-Mutlaq ki taqat se bari quwwat chahiye? Kya tu apne aasmani Baap ki ata-karda hikmat se zyada hikmat chahti hai aur us mohabbat se barh kar kuch chahti hai jo us ke Bete mein zahir hui, ya is se zyada quwwat jo tujhe Rooh-ul-Quds ki taraf se inayat hui hai? Apna khaali bartan yahan le aa, yaqeenan yeh la-mehdood kuan use bhar dega; jaldi kar, apni saari zarurtein samet kar yahan le aa—apna khaali-pan, apne dukh, apni haajatein. Dekh, Khuda ki yeh nadi tere liye poori tarah labrez hai; is ke siwa tu aur kya chahti hai? Ae meri jaan, isi zor ke saath aage barh; abadi Khuda tera madadgaar hai. Mat dar, main tere saath hoon, haraasan na ho; main hi tera Khuda hoon, aur main zaroor teri madad karoonga.

Us mamsئuh yani Masih ka naam mubarak ho, kyun ke us mein qatl kiye jaane laaiq apni koi wajah na thi. Na mوروosi gunaah aur na koi zaati gunaah jis ne use aalooda kiya ho, is liye maut ka us par koi haq na tha. Koi insaan adl ke saath us ki jaan nahin le sakta tha, kyun ke na us ne kisi par zulm kiya tha aur na hi koi use zabardasti giraftar kar sakta tha jab tak ke woh khud apni jaan dene ke liye raazi na hota. Magar dekho, aik gunaah karta hai aur doosra us ki saza paata hai; adl hum se aajiz tha magar us ne apni taskeen isi mein paayi. Aansooon ke darya, qurbaniyon ke anbaar, bailon ke khoon ke samandar aur lobaan ke dher bhi gunaah ko door karne ke liye kaafi na the, lekin Yesua hamare waaste qatl kiya gaya aur yun ghazab-e-ilahi ka sabab foran jaata raha, kyun ke gunaah ka zor hamesha hamesha ke liye mauqoof ho gaya. Yahan bari hikmat zahir hoti hai ke awazi aur fidye ka yaqini aur fori tareeqa waz‘ kiya gaya; yahan us ki farotni zahir hoti hai ke woh mamsuh ya‘ni Masih, woh shehzada, kaanton ka taaj pehne aur saleeb par apni jaan de; yahan mohabbat zahir hoti hai ke fidya dene wale ne apne dushmanon ke waaste apni jaan dene se bhi dareegh na ki. Lekin yeh kaafi nahin ke hum be-gunah ki jaanib se gunahgaaron ke waaste khoon bahane ke manzar ki sirf lafzi tahseen karein, balkeh humein is amr ko yaqini banana chahiye ke is kaffare mein hamara hissa bhi shaamil ho. Masih ki maut ka khaas maqsad us ki kaleesiya ki najat tha; kya aap ka hissa aur muqaddar un logon mein hai jin ke liye us ne apni jaan fidye mein di? Kya Khudawand Yesua aap ki numaindagi mein khara hua? Kya aap us ke maar khane se shifa paate hain? Agar hum us ki qurbani mein apna hissa na paayen to yeh nihayat holnaak baat hogi, balkeh hamare liye to behtar hota ke hum kabhi paida hi na hote. Yeh sawal jitna sanjeeda hai utna hi khushi ka baais bhi hai, kyun ke us ka jawab saaf aur baghair kisi shak ke diya ja sakta hai: jo koi us par imaan laata hai, us ke liye Khudawand Yesua abhi aur isi waqt Najat Dahinda hai, aur un sab par sulah ke khoon ka chhirkaao ho chuka hai. Pas jo koi Masih ki maut se jaari hone wale fazl par imaan rakhta hai, woh us ki har yaadgaar khushi se manaye aur sidq-e-dil se us ki shukrguzaari kare, kyun ke usi ke jaan dene se hum raastbaaz aur muqaddas thehrte hain.
