today was awesome, even though i have two services back to back, plus ushering duties, and even though i was almost late*thanks to my mum* but it was still fun.
sermon was one by a ...pastor *duh* he was invited to do the sermon for today, and he was really almost late. then *内幕消息*the church's original pastors are all going crazy, saying if he dont come, they push the preaching job to each other since all of them are unprepared and saying he 耍大牌*in a joking way la*
the sermon was pretty good.
why Jesus? Jesus is not the only one who died and resurrected, there are many people who had NDE(near death experience), rose from the dead too.
the difference? those people still died in the end, after all. but not Jesus, nope. he has risen to heaven. and coming back to earth soon.
so after the service, i went to teach sunday school, and when i was sharing about the story of how He died, i actually got choked up. not the best feeling in the world, but it proves i'm human
dying for the very people who humiliated,taunted him, dying for the sins he had not committed. dying the most painful, most violent death ever. *go watch passion of christ, but that is only movie effects, imagine the real thing.*
dying for me, you us. what is there more to ask for?
佩服，他的伟大的爱
佩服，他的勇敢
佩服，当他被侮辱，受委屈，能够不吭一声
佩服，他为了那些永远都不会忍他的人而死
and for the 1st time, the kids are paying attention, they even help me finish the story. some even know more than i do lol. they make references to other bible stories. amazing huh.
i got the kids to read out 1 slide *the 1st slide above^^^^* and they mispronounced 'Jesus', it reminded me of a dark past of my christian life, but when they said it, it sounded so cute, i couldn't bear to correct them. kids, they make so innocent mistakes.
no wonder Jesus was saying let the children come to me
wish i had my camera, then i can take photos and post it here. good times =D
