Dulpa, 3 reflection St. Clement

One of our classmate reports is about the life of St. Clement of Rome. He grew up from a stranger family, he was educated, and had access in the imperial court but he was not joyful in pagan society, because he was not happy he chose to live a life pleasing in God’s eye even if it is costly. He spread the gospel of Jesus Christ, defended the Church in apologetic writing and fought the many heresies. Clement was sentenced to a martyr's death in the arena by the Emperor Trajan. According to a fourth century story, Trajan had banished the pope to the Crimea in the southern Ukraine because of his success in evangelize. Clement was so eager to share the gospel to the people and he satisfied the thirst of two thousand Christian confessors by a miracle. The people of the country were converted and seventy‑five churches built. A frustrated Trajan then ordered Clement to be thrown into the sea with an iron anchor.

I learned that it is costly when we follow the Lord Jesus Christ but it is more joyous when we bring souls back to God. Clement had an impact even after his martyrdom. He became one of the great examples for us Christians that whatever might happen even if we will experience persecutions we can still reach out to those people who’s going to hell. By letting them know that Jesus Christ loves them and died for them. I learned that God is working in many ways Clement was exiled but the Lord still used his life in many ways to fulfill his purpose in his life. He did not waste the time to be silent, and grumble against God instead he spread the good news to the people.

Because I have hope in Jesus Christ I must live lives of purity and righteousness. Because of what Christ has done in my life. I will let be hurry with all energy and readiness of mind to perform every good work that God intended for me to do. For the Christian there is no reason for selfishness or self-promotion. As follower of Jesus I must work together in all harmony and peace. I know that God will reward a simple spirit of submission. With love and compassion, Clement urged his readers to: be of humble mind, laying aside all haughtiness, pride, foolishness, and angry feelings, being especially mindful of the words of the Lord Jesus. I believe that none of our thoughts are hidden from God; I must seek to obey Him rather than follow the human leaders of any side that can ruin my life. I will also use all the opportunities to spread the news about Jesus whenever God leads me. I will not be silent and keep all that I have learned instead I will share it through all the people that God wanted me to share. I will share the gospel through friendship evangelism at least 1 person every week starting this December 8, 2015.One of our classmate reports is about the life of St. Clement of Rome.
