This very moment is a new opportunity to another fresh beginning, embrace it with thanks to God for giving us another chance this very moment.

The beginning is THE very crucial part, let’s get started.

NOW is the best time for a new beginning.

Cheers to the fresh start,  to a new beginning!

“And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.”
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭21:3-7‬ ‭

The case for the resurrection .

“And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.”
‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭15:4-9‬ ‭

1st Good Friday – Jesus Died for our sins so that we can be reconciled to God.

82D44F28-D48F-400A-B494-447515851538

Good Friday is good because Christ showed His great love for man, and paid the penalty of the sin of man, so that man may be reconciled with His Creator God.

“Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.”
‭‭John‬ ‭15:13‬

“No greater Love,” that is what is manifested to us in the death of Christ, the “no greater Love” that belongs to God, and which is made a gift to us in Jesus Christ who, as God the Son (The Triune God – ONE GOD in “3 Persons”) not only lowers Himself to become a man, but even chooses to lay down His life for us.

This is the greatest gift of God, the gift of His Eternal Love. It is this Life and Love which became incarnate in human flesh, and which reaches it’s most perfect and astounding manifestation in the act in which Christ as both Fully God and Fully man, laid down His human life for us; as for his friends, so we might share His Life and Love for all Eternity.

Good Friday is about a divine exchange: We give Christ our sins, and He gives us His fullness. We become righteous in God’s eyes as we are forgiven for all that we have done wrong.

“For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.”
‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭5:21‬ ‭

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
‭‭John‬ ‭3:16‬ ‭

We are not our past, because God gives us each fresh day to decide to do things differently – what really matters is what we decide to do TODAY ,  what you used  to be, is already in the past.

With each new opportunity of the day,  we can choose,  act decisively and differently  in  a way that helps us to be capable of being all that we created to be; reaching towards our highest potential –  for we are made in the image of God.

The beauty of Creation bears witness to God.

For the Soul, Quotes:CKW

We need to recalibrate & change course today when we are heading in the wrong direction. ~ Cheong Kok Weng

Change can sometimes be difficult while at other times it can be comforting.

IMG_1713

Would we not want to know that we are heading in the wrong direction rather than not knowing and finding out only at the end of our journey?

There are warning signs and notices we all need to take care and be aware of, that indicate we are heading for a dead-end.

After noticing the signs, we must follow-up by actions in order to correct and readjust our path, and consider it a detour, in reaching the destination.

 

“Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.” Isaiah 55:6-7″

Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die,..” Ezekiel 33:11a

 “Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord God: and not that he should return from his ways, and live?” Ezekiel 18:23

“For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; 

 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.” 1 Timothy 2:3-4

Good Friday – the day Death Died.

images

On the first Good Friday, Jesus died on the cross in yours and my place – He assumed (took) and paid the FULL PENALTY of our sin.

Good Friday is the Friday preceding Easter Sunday, and commemorates the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and his death on the Cross at Calvary.

We can celebrate on Good Friday because Christ’s death was a sacrifice so that we could receive the gift of eternal life. Jesus bore our sins, shame, and burden on the cross. The results changed the course of humanity!

“It’s Good Friday. Good because 2000 years ago the events of that day proved that we matter to God.  “God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son.” John 3:16

“On this Good Friday may we never forget the true meaning of Easter – ‘For when He was on the cross, I was on His mind.”

For the Soul, Quotes:CKW

Right choices and actions are the antidote to fears generated whilst not taking actions. ~ Cheong Kok Weng

cbf

We need to remind ourselves that the way to get things done is to BEGIN doing. DO not let the inaction of yesterday take hold of today – it need not be a yesterday of inaction all over again. Let yesterday’s failure be a building block for success today. Knowing the aforesaid and wishing is not enough, we must

DO.

We must remind our selves to do all we can, with what we have, wherever we are. Let our heart soar as high as it will.

May we make our live a masterpiece as God  has intended us to be.
