Jesus Christ Gave Up Everything to Become Man
Design: Blessed Ong
“…When the time came, he set aside the privileges of deity and took on the status of a slave, became human! Having become human, he stayed human. It was an incredibly humbling process. He didn’t claim special privileges. Instead, he lived a selfless, obedient life and then died a selfless, obedient death—and the worst kind of death at that—a crucifixion.” (Philippians 2:6-7, AMP)
Jesus Christ, the Son of God, humbled himself to become man so that man can now know God through believing in Christ as their Saviour and Lord. Hallelujah!
Hosanna in the Highest
Hosanna in the Highest! The King of glory who came to die for all our sins, be resurrected with power on high, went back to heaven, and will come again as the eternal triumphant Lord of all.

Lament in a Time of Pandemic

How do we survive this pandemic? Through lament or grieving.
One of the reasons the Old Testament Israelites were able to endure so many calamities was they knew how to lament. When their crops failed or they were defeated in a war, they would gather together to grieve. That is why there are so many laments in the Bible, including more than a third of the 150 psalms. There is even a whole book called “Lamentations.”
