I got this note at Crusade, and I thought I’d share. We all believe things about ourselves that are completely opposite to what our Father in Heaven created us to be. I think it’s time to change that negative thinking, don’t you?

today is such a greattt day! :)

i’m sosososososooso happy.

today is Easter Sunday, meaning that it’s the day that JESUS CHRIST rose from the dead! and it is because this day that we are CHRISTians :) because on the day that Jesus died on the cross, it seemed like there was no more hope. it seemed like God was defeated by death. but NO MANG. Jesus ROSE from the dead and conquered the grave. that’s why we have hope! OUR GOD IS IN CONTROL! :)

but not only is today Easter Sunday, today is the day that 13 of my brothers and sisters & i got confirmed/baptized. WHAT A HAPPY DAY! i never knew this day would come hehehehe. even when i was sitting there waiting for my turn, it didn’t sink in that i would have to go up too and give my own testimony. and then i panicked a bit when josie went up and the seat next to me was empty LOL. but then i prayed for peace and that God would talk through me and i know He did just that :) for some reason, when i went up there and i saw everyone else staring back at me.. i didn’t feel nervous and it made me feel more comfortable when everyone would laugh with me or just really hear me out talk about GOD and his workings, you know? i talked about the most RANDOM things like sailor moon and restart buttons and all that but just bearing with me and stuff! i had the hardest time putting together a testimony with so many drafts and so many changes but i know everything was worth it for this special day

and woooow during praise today when we were singing “i am free”.. oh my i have never felt that free during praise before at KEPC. just jumping up and down and really being freee and being able to do that for GOD :) felt soooo good. because through CHRIST i am freeeee!

“For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that He was buried, that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, and he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve.  After that, He appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers at the same time, most of whom are still living, tough come have fallen asleep.  Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born.” —1 Corinthians 15:1-8

these people have been FOREVER changed. and so have i :)

congratulations andy, jenny, nicole, tiffany, rebekah, amy, dayo, dwoo, helen, jane, gkoh, joise,  and sarah!

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come” —2 Corinthians 5:17

it’s a new beginning :)

Thoughts for FRIDAY AFTERNOON of Jesus’ Passion Week (Mark 15:16)

After, Pilate hands Jesus over to the Jews, the Roman soldiers mock Him and beat Him to the point of death then force Him to carry a crossbeam around Jerusalem to Golgotha. This was commonly done to make an example of a criminal and to deter others from committing the same crime. Jesus is crucified at 9 am (15:25). At noon, darkness fell over the whole land (15:33). At 3 pm, Jesus gave up His spirit (15:33-37).

Jesus suffered tremendous torture and an agonizing death. Why did He not fight back? Because He was not dying for the crimes He was accused of committing (none could be found by the religious leaders nor Pilate) but for our sins that we committed. In suffering an unjust death, He was acting as a substitute bearer of judgment on our behalf (i.e. Passover lamb). Why could we not pay for our own sins? We can but it would cost our lives. Jesus died for us so that we would not have to give up our lives, separated from God for all eternity. What an amazing demonstration of selfless love. In essence, when Jesus was crucified, He was crucified in my place. That’s what Paul had in mind when he wrote in Galatians 2:20, “I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me, and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.”

As you live today, I hope that you too will allow Christ to live in you as you live in faith.

To personalize the suffering Jesus endured on my behalf, I usually fast (all things that clutter my life from food to TV to getting online and try to spend that time reading and meditating on Scripture and in prayer) from Friday morning to Sunday morning. It is not required nor does it make you more righteous. I simply do it to identify myself with Jesus’ suffering and to thank Him for what He has done. If you feel compelled, I encourage you to think about extending your fast to include all facets of your life for a portion of this weekend. There is a Good Friday FNF TODAY that will be meditative and reflective. If you plan to attend, please come with an expectant and prepared hearts.

Thoughts for THURSDAY of Jesus’ Passion Week (Mark 14:12-15:15; John 13:1-19:16)

In the morning and afternoon, the disciples prepare for the Passover feast (14:12-16). As you know, Passover was the feast celebrating Israel’s deliverance from Egypt (in particular, the angel of death passing over the houses with the blood of the lamb). Since Jews kept their days from sunset (6 pm) to sunset, Passover would start Thursday night and end with the sunset on Friday evening. This is very important as Jews would eat the Passover meal on Thursday night remembering their exodus from slavery thousands of years ago. Jesus would die as the perfect lamb as Passover was ending.

Beginning Thursday evening, things get frantic. It starts with Jesus and His disciples sharing a Passover meal (14:17-26, also dubbed as the Last Supper) during which Jesus washes His disciples’ feet (John 13:1-20). Jesus predicts Peter’s denial (14:27-31) and goes on to teach His Upper Room Discourse (John 14-16) and pray His high priestly prayer (John 17). They leave the upper room in the evening and go to the Garden at Gethsemane, a place near the Mount of Olives where it was a custom for Jesus to pray (14:32-42). While still at Gethsemane, Jesus is betrayed by Judas and arrested by the temple guards (14:43-52). Throughout the night Jesus was tried by the Jerusalem Council in a religious trial (did Jesus blaspheme in saying that He is the Son of God?) but the trial was set up and thus illegal (18:12-24). Because the Jews had no authority to give the death sentence, they send Him to Pilate to be tried under Roman rule in a political trial (John 18:28-37). But Pilate finds Jesus innocent and thus sends Him to Herod but Herod is disinterested. Pilate finally hands Jesus over to the Jews to be crucified at around 6 am Friday morning (John 19:14) NOT because He’s guilty but because He is afraid a riot might break out (John 18:38-19:16).

Jesus’ suffering and crucifixion will be presented at our Good Friday FNF.

Jesus set an example of humility for all who claim to be His followers to emulate in washing His disciples’ feet, especially in our society that screams to be served. During a summer retreat many years ago we had an opportunity to wash one another’s feet. The feet were dirty and sweaty and we washed them with our hands—the hands that we eat with and touch our face with. An act of humility feels just as dirty and repulsive as it goes against our nature. With whom do we need to humble ourselves? Though the Bible commands us to honor and obey our parents, many of us treat our parents like our personal servants. Can we figuratively wash our parents’ feet? Some of you older guys take advantage of your age and boss around the younger guys. Can we figuratively wash the feet of our younger youth members? People of the world do what is comfortable and natural. It requires the Spirit to think higher of others and humbly of ourselves.

As you live today, may your faith be evident by your acts of humility.
