As April dawns upon us, let us be reminded of the call to share the Gospel with our lives, testimonies, and words. In this season of renewal and growth, let us recommit ourselves to being vessels of God's love and grace in our community and beyond. Just as the flowers bloom and the earth awakens, let our hearts be stirred to proclaim the message of salvation through both our actions and our words.
May we be intentional in living out our faith daily, demonstrating Christ's love through acts of kindness, compassion, and forgiveness. Let us seize every opportunity to share our personal testimonies of God's transformative power in our lives, inviting others to experience the joy and hope found in a relationship with Jesus Christ. As we embark on this journey of faith in April, let us be bold and courageous ambassadors of the Gospel, shining the light of Christ wherever we go. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come on you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” Acts:1.8

Tomorrow is Thursday in the Holy Week.
And this night, the night to observe Passover we see Jesus instituting the Lord's Supper. Luke 22:14-20 When the hour came, Jesus and his apostles reclined at the table. And he said to them, "I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. For I tell you, I will not eat it again until it finds fulfillment in the kingdom of God." After taking the cup, he gave thanks and said, "Take this and divide it among you. For I tell you I will not drink again of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes." And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, "This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me." In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you. Torrow night at our church we will observe the Lord's Supper. Today is Palm Sunday, the day Jesus entered Jerusalem riding on a colt of a donkey. Some might think it strange for Jesus to ride on a donkey or mule but kings rode on them. It said King David gave a donkey to all his sons to ride. As Jesus rode into Jerusalem they began to hail Him as a king. But their idea of a king and who he really was were two different things. He was and is the King of kings. He has a kingdom and He rules in the heart and lives of men and women. Those who have received Jesus Christ into their lives and are followers of Him, live in the kingdom of God, where Jesus rules over all His subjects.
God is the Creator of heaven and earth. He doesn't only save our souls, He also saves the entire universe. In fact, God's creation is so precious to Him that He is going to create a new heaven and earth. In the meantime, we should look after what God created. We should be good stewards(managers) of this Earth. We shouldn't pollute, we should litter, we should preserve and protect. Are you helping with protecting this creation?
" In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth."- Genesis 1:1 The cross is not a romantic symbol. It is a place of death and disdain. It is the place where our Lord and Savior died on our behalf. The cross where Jesus traded places with us, and took our sins on Him. He, who knew no sin , took the status of a sinner, That's why the cross with all its terrors is also a place of hope and life.
" For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God."1 Corinthians 1:18 |
