East, Easter, Eastest

H A P P Y E A S T E R...
for easterner...westerner..southerner....northerner.....etc

If on Good Friday many people at Church became Man in Black, means wore black, this Easter we were united in colours to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

What's on for Easter at the church today?
A boring fragmented play of Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection with some snips from the movie of The Passion of the Christ.
Honestly, I think they better leave that play out at all if it's only badly presented like that. Talking about that film, I heard its pirated copies are here now, I just hope NO Church or Christian buys this pirated vcd or dvd.

The sermon itself was taken from John 20:19-20
With Jesus, death is nothing; He offered us everlasting life.
With His resurrection I shall not fear death anymore (I just fear I'm not yet qualified when the time comes…)

Back to The Passion of the Christ thing.......
I really hope we'll be able to see it here in Indonesia. It's already shown in Qatar, and beginning March 31, according to the UEA's GulfNews, it'll be shown to the public in United Arab Emirates (so that means it's on now).

Good Friday

I don't know if anyone else has this experience, but I do, that the sun hides itself behind the clouds every Good Friday at certain times

Every Good Friday we recall how the so powerful Jesus who can do just anything chose to mortify Himself to save the world.
Why...oh...why...??

Because Jesus never did these 5 things:

He never pushed His wish to His Father
He never saved Himself, He saves the whole world instead
He never defended Himself .
He never ran away from duties.
He never failed to love the sinners.
