The Gift

As much as I have decided not to blog till next year, my mind was filled with the after thoughts from the Christmas Service - The Gift.

At the end of the service, the Gift was unwrapped. From the breathtaking Filipino choir to the awesome drama to the heartfelt preaching by Ps Jeff to the heartwarming conversation between Ps Jeff and Edmund (I think that's the name) to the song presentation, the Gift was unknowingly unwrapped.

John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."

The Greatest Love, The Greatest Gift, The Greatest Life.

I do not know about the rest but there were several moments in the entire service that I was at the brim of tears. After some years as a Christ believer, I have come to understand and fathom and know that there is NO perfect church, there is NO perfect caregroup, there is NO perfect situation, there is NO perfect sermon, there is NO perfect program. However, there is a perfect man who gave up His Kingship to come down to earth to die for an imperfect me.

Yup, I am convicted. Convicted that it's Christ that I am focused on.
