“…large number of people followed him, including women who mourned and wailed for him. Jesus turned and said to them, "Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me; weep for yourselves and for your children…” Luke 23:27-30 NIV [italics & emphasis mine]
When my son was born, immediately the pediatrician who was in the room took him and gave him a nudge, he began to cry and everyone around (nurses, esthetician, and surgeons) cheered and laughed with joy. William Jennings once said, Destiny is not a matter of chance is a matter of choice. God has given us power to make our own choices in life; while we can choose our choices (actions), we cannot choose the consequences thereof.
When a child is born, it cries and everyone around it rejoices…if this child live right and to the fullest potential (life of service to mankind like Jesus Christ), at the end of child’s life, the child will smile and everyone around will be crying-because a good man has fallen asleep. God says, “…I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. Choose life, then, that you and your descendants may live…” Deuteronomy 30:19-20a NAB
