you know what??Jesus entered my life today!yes, he did... we had chapel again today and it was really touching.. Pastor Jeremy mademe realised how much Jesushad actually suffered for us...it was really touching and itmade me cried.. he described the whole process in detail...he even read out the medicalcondition Jesus was in whenhe was crucified.. he said evensaid something about the capillaries that caused Jesusto sweat with blood together...and i really learnt a lot today..alot more about Jesus.. it wasnot as simple as i thought..Pastor jeremy told us alot...the benefits of the cross....being justified. having access.and the freedom we had becauseJesus went on the cross to clear all our sins for us. to takethe punishment for us. so thatwe are justified. and that thecrucification wasnt an accident.Jesus knew that he was meantto die. on the cross. he knew itat the beginning. it was hispurpose. to clear our sins forus. it was a sacrifice. and the pastor said that crucification wasdesigned to be the worst death.it was like dying for a thousandpeople. and it was the maximumpain of death. it was really sad. i dont think imthe only one who welled up tearsin my eyes. it was painful. whenthe pastor read out what was doneto Jesus.. everything. in detail.the whipping. and not any typeof whip. heavy. metal. sharp edges.sharp thorns. and also the crownof thorns. it was pierced right intohis skull. painful. you could think that the pastor was exaggerating but he had to. to make us understandwhat Jesus went through. it was not as simple as i thought. nor everyoneelse. what they did may not look orseem that serious..but the effect isso severe. the pain that we could onlyknow when the whole thing was exaggerated. and then in the end,ending the chapel session, hemade us close our eyes so thatwe would not be influenced by our friends. we had to made a decision. a choice of letting Jesusenter our life. and of cos i did. hesaid a prayer together with usto welcome Jesus into our life.finally we were given a formto tick if we had a prayer request, ifwe had chose to welcome Jesus into our life, or if Jesus RE-enteredour life and if we would like toknow more about Jesus. i tickedthat i had chosen Jesus to entermy life and i would like to knowmore about Jesus. i think they'regonna arrange some kind of extra chapel or something for us..anyway ending the chapel session,we sang crucified. its a really nicesong! though there's still alot about christianity that i dont know,God's really amazing.this week's really nice andrelaxing... we had chapel frommon to today cos it was discovering Jesus week..andi really love chapel.. also, wehave less periods because of chapel!!hahah... and also there wasntmaths olympaid yesterday, orat least i thought so n i didnt gocos that's what the piece ofpaper said...i didnt play truant haha..and there's no drama today!!! yay!and so i dont have to stay back n come home late on tuesday n todaythis week which i usually do n im so glad!!im gonna continue to worship God!:)
