No greater love


The two months of Circuit Breaker not only gave us much time for family bonding, we also realized we had many undesirable qualities whenever we offended one another. Yet, as a family, we still loved and accepted one another’s faults and weaknesses; we still loved one another even when we were unlovely.

This led us to think of the Lord Jesus Christ.
John 15:13 - Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.

But... we weren’t even His friends when He was on the cross.

Romans 5:10
For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.

He has certainly paid a precious price for us.

Thank you Abel for suggesting that we sing “No Greater Love” by Don Moen. The words really spoke to our hearts. ❤️

Coming of the Lord

The Lord will come even before all places are evangelised. Really?  1. The Lord said so (Mat 10:23) 2. The fullest of the Gentile (Rom 11:25) is the number of Gentiles to be saved which no one knows and it should be reaching its quota soon 3. God has given other witnesses like His creation (Rom 1:20) and man's conscience (Rom 2:15)
