Ola.
Well today's service was pretty darned good.
Cell was great too.
During cell, we managed to finish sharing bout our week on time, and word was about Faith, we studied Hebrews. Yep yep. We discussed Abraham, and well, you can get ALOT out of a simple story that yo've heard since you were 5 or something.
I guess lit helps (:
Then we went up for service, and well, cell was rather large, which is good. Luke lead worship, I found the generation to generation that Justin was talking about. I was like ORHH that song. Its a nice song. Anywayz...
Pastor Reuben preached, and he hasn't done so for a long time. Message was really good. it was to prepare our hearts for Easter, and everything, i think he did a good job, because so many of us were moved in the spirit.
"TNG, you are not blessed because you have a stable government, you are not blessed because you have a good education and a bright future. TNG, you are blessed because God sent his son down to save us, and walk that green mile(movie) for us. You're blessed, and you don't even know it."
And now after hearing the repeated story of Jesus' crucification, I realise that you learn more and more after hearing it more and more. Pastor Ng let us watch The Passion of Christ. (UGH) and my gosh, it is gory. It was a five minute clip on what Jesus felt when he was on the cross.
I realise ALOT ALOOOOOOT more.
So first...
- What Jesus experienced, was what was in store for us, if he didn't come down and save us.
- Only he could save us because he was BLAMELESS.
- God cast his anger on him, because he was bearing the weight of OUR sin.
This is the God that we worship Sunday after Sunday.
I mean, there's alot more to learn, but you have to watch the video for yourself. I mean, you could literally feel his pain, i had goosebumps. Even Sarah cried. Which is... a hope.
In my mind, its just dawned upon me that every time we sin, God gets angry, but that anger got inflicted on Christ. And that every time we sin, it was one more drop of blood shed from OUR God's body. K the video freaks me out la, the thumbnail is on Clement's blog, but i had to cover my screen half the time. So I'm just going paste the url here, and just hope you gain some sort of revelation.

And to think some people don't even know that they are saved.
