John 11:35 Jesus wept.

Easter is here! and today, we remember the victory we have in Christ Jesus over sin and death!!! ^^ today's sermon was really interesting, the verse is John 11:35. an amazing powerful verse. never understood that verse and today, we were given an possible explanation. While i wished i could have just write down everything that he said, i can't cos of my limited brain capacity. but in short, Jesus wept for the spiritual blindness of mankind. how man can be so oblivious to God and to him, despite all that has been done. Our pastor suggested that it's is not because he was overwhelmed by grief, due to the overwhelming evidences that showed him as being glad that God could be glorify thru the death of Lazarus. so in conclusion, it was to be something else.

had a chat with a friend yesterday bout the whole christian thing again. me using my limited knowledge against a whole barrage of questions. In conclusion, i realised that people dun believe that salvation is really as easy as believing in Jesus and his sacrifice for us and it's FREE to all. guess, in this age, free always means it's free BUT there are strings attached. Like what the pastor said, we are a generation of achievers, and sometimes, we need to learn bout recieving. Jesus was the ultimate gift God has given to us, not our friends, families, homes, cars, cats etc etc. And this ultimate gift is essentially a GIFT, given FREELY because God loves us.

May we continue to give thanks each day, for this precious gift from Him. ^^ Happy Easter.
