Week 72: Knowing God - His Finished Work


When Jesus came to earth as a Man, the last Adam (1 Corinthians 15:45), He came to fulfil the law of the old covenant and to pay the price for humanity’s transgressions, which have their root in the first Adam. Jesus came to establish the new covenant based on grace.

At the start of His earthly ministry, Jesus revealed this when He entered a synagogue in Nazareth and read the following verses from the book of Isaiah.

Week 71: Knowing God - His Resurrection


Romans 4:25

25 who [Jesus] was delivered up because of our offenses, and was raised because of our justification.

The Bible tells us that Christ was delivered up for our sins and raised from the dead for our justification. We are aware by now why Jesus died for our sins, but what is  the significance of God raising Him from the dead?

In the Old covenant, the priests come to the tabernacle and offer the blood of bulls and goats as sacrifice for the atonement of their sins. However, according to the Leviticus law, such offerings has to be carried out regularly.

Week 70: What You Say Is What You Get


Indeed, today is beautiful because every time when we look up to the blue sky, we are reminded of His Grace. For that very same reason, when God instructed Noah to build the ark, He specifically told Noah to have a window at the top of the ark and none at the side. This is because God do not want us to look to the boisterous winds and waves around us, He want us to look up to Him and be reminded that His Grace is sufficient for us in any situation. He does not want us to look around us and be distress, He want us to look up to Him and be at rest. Amen! Hallelujah!

Week 69: Knowing God - His Name


Hallelujah! Praise be to His wonderful Name! Hallelujah!

"What is Papa favorite number?" "Papa favorite number is 5!" This is what my daughter would say to me whenever I ask her this question. Indeed, 5 is my favorite number ever since I knew 5 is the number for Grace.

When Noah's name was mentioned for the fifth time in the Bible, it says in Gen 6:8 "But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord." When Ruth's name was mentioned for the fifth time in the Bible in Ruth 2:2 "So Ruth the Moabitess said to Naomi, “Please let me go to the field, and glean heads of grain after him in whose sight I may find favor.”
