Can the Dead Rise Again?

In recent news there was a man who was pronounced dead by doctors was "resurrected" to life. But he remained in coma and eventually died. He experienced what is called the "Lazarus effect". Another story is of a spiritual leader from India who could perform miracles and worshiped by his followers including the rich and powerful. He became ill and on Resurrection Sunday passed away. Some expect him to return in a future reincarnation just as he believed he was a reincarnation of another holy man. None of these men will rise again to tell us their stories. Sin has condemned us all to death.

But can the dead rise again? Yes! Jesus proved it by resurrecting from the dead and showed proof to His disciples. The one who is the Resurrection and the Life has now promised to all who believe in Him that death need not be the end. There is life eternal awaiting us all who put their hope in Jesus Christ.

Christ is risen and Christ will come again!

What Would Jesus Drive?

On Palm Sunday, our guest speaker made a comparison about Jesus riding on a young donkey into Jerusalem to be like driving in a Kancil car instead of something more grand or luxurious befitting His status as King. This set me thinking of a question: "What then would Jesus drive if He was living today in Malaysia?" Will it be a Mywi or Saga versus a BMW or Ferrari? Your answer could very well be affected about your understanding of Jesus and your theological persuasion. So what do you think?

Travel the World

I read today of a couple who has been traveling the world for the past 11 years! The Zapp family started their travels in 2000 in their 83 year old car, driving at a maximum speed of 40 mph. They have so far covered four continents and 142,000 miles. Along the way they also became parents to three children, who have followed their parents and getting a world life education. The family is currently traveling around South-East Asia.

Obviously this is not a normal family! What do you think? If you had such an opportunity would you follow their example? Maybe you should try taking your family on a much shorter trip to see if you can survive!
