The Maundy Thursday service yesterday was great! Really love the service today because it is very seldom that we sing all hymns without any drums or guitar - It's really like worship back in the olden days. The instruments used in the worship session today were the piano, violin, viola and Cello. And the way the string instruments were positioned was being organized very well. The Violins, Viola, and Cello were on the left side of the stage whereas the Piano was on the floor just beside the stage. So it just makes it have that kind of very Orchestra look.

The hymns that were chosen to be sung was - Lead Me To Calvary, What A Friend We Have In Jesus, In The Garden and Jesus Paid It All... And it went very well with the String instruments. Sadly, my favourite song for this worship session that was supposed to be sung wasn't sang - In Love For Me (This Is My Body).

Today is Good Friday... So what's so GOOD about Good Friday?

Good Friday is actually about this person Jesus Christ who died on the cross. What is so good about this day since it's a day someone died? Well, it has to do with who Jesus is, why He had to die and the result of His death!

Because all have sinned, Jesus was sent by God to take the punishment for all our sins - For you and for me. But why must sin be equals death? I believe all have done something in our life that has made God unhappy. Since God is also righteous Judge, He has to punish us for our disobedience. The punishment for us is therefore death and seperation from God forever.

But God wants to bridge that gap between us and Him, which is caused by sins. So He sent His one and only Son, Jesus Christ, to take our place of punishment, and to bridge the gap between us and Him. In this way, God demonstrated His love for us.

On the 3rd day, Jesus rose from the dead! This shows that He is the true and living God and that He has the power to save us and enable us to live a life that is right. God has promised that He will forgive us of our sins because of Jesus's work on the cross if we admit our sincerely admit and repent our sins.

There'll be a Good Friday cum Easter Drama at my church today and sunday... It's about four people - Vivian, Andy and Rachel. They come from different walks of life but face a common struggle - the search for that 'missing piece' in their lives. And then there's Josh, a young boy with both life and love to give. Four live... One sacrifice. One choice for eternity. Do let me know if you're interested in coming for the drama.
