it is saturday in new york. yesterday was good friday. and tomorrow is easter sunday. ive chosen the day between these two significant days to write about how i feel about Jesus' death and resurrection.
(i am currently in new york, and hence the reference in my opening sentence)
Jesus died more than two thousand years ago. why?
because He was there to atone the sins of every single one of us. He took the punishment. He was THE sacrifice, so that we may "approach the throne with confidence" (Hebrews 4:16) and have direct connection with the Almighty Lord.
because He loves us. only a love so great can allow Him to willingly suffer such awful pain on the cross, being crucified. as we all know, being nailed to the cross isnt child's play. the pain (for the lack of a better word) He went through was so hurtful that He cried to the Father. and when it was done, He said it is FINISHED - Jesus has done ALL that has to be done, He has done that for ALL our sins (the past, present and future).
someone who is so Holy and pure loves us so much. what He did is way sweeter than what your boyfriend/girlfriend can ever do for you. if you can go "aww" at the small little things your significant other does, how can you not be moved by what Jesus has done for you? i personally cannot, and thats why i have accepted Christ in my life. when i first accepted Jesus many years ago, i didnt even fathom the whole idea of salvation. i didnt even know that accepting Christ was going to bring me to heaven. all i know was that He loves me, im moved by what He did and i love Him too. since then, my life has been transformed because He lives in me. i conduct myself in the best way i can to please Him and honour Him. i am not always successful because of my sinful nature. but i know i must at least do the best i can. i know that my sins are forgiven so i can theoretically lead a sinful life, but i do not because i want to evangelise with my lifestyle.
Jesus also resurrected from death three days after He died. this is a living proof that He is alive and He rose again, showing His power over death and His sovereignty. if that had not happened, the world would not be worshipping Him. but because He did and we are sure that He is sitting at the right hand side of God, interceding for us, we can be sure that He did in actual fact give us the gift of salvation. whatever the Lord said about loving us, forgiving us and giving us eternal life is true! all He asks for is that you believe in Him!
"For God so love the world that He gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life." (John 3:16)
in short, Jesus loves you. wont you love Him too?

hahahah. i adore kandy! she's one of my best bimbo mates! :):):) we were the only ones who went "gosh, this is enough exercise to last me a year!" after running for the trains during our belgium, luxembourg and germany trip.
thorpe park - one stupid ride caused me prolonged nausea. i can still feel it spinning. but hey, to redeem myself, everyone should see how bored i look during all the thrilling rides. at one point, caleb and i were discussing how bad the ride was, when lynette and may ling were screaming their hearts out.
the world is spinning, but i'm standing still.(di, back at you! i'm cooler!)
