#Day 87: 27 March 2016

ULTIMATE SACRIFICE - EASTER SUNDAY

I did not have much to share, it was an awesome day. I decieed to just shares my note from Easter Sunday service message.

Luke 7:36-47  - Jesus anointed by a sinful woman.

"Therefore, I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven—as her great love has shown. But whoever has been forgiven little loves little.”

• The woman know that she have sinned. And she also know that she is forgiven (big time). That is why she gave Jesus everything she had, the best she can give.
• Story of Jinjing (The Pinguin), the best friend of 71 years old man named Joao Pereira de Souza. Joao found the pinguin injured by the beach and took care it and released it after.. Until now, around every June, Jinjing always came back to find Joao. The became the very best friend since.
• A lot of time we forgot that we are here, sitting in this church, is all because of Jesus care.
• We need to always remember that we are more than Jinjing. To always remember and greatful of God's love. He need to be radical! And act on His love, live our life for Him, giving our best to Him.

Everything is according to His plan, His grace, His favor:

• Psalm 39:4 NIV “Show me, Lord , my life’s end and the number of my days; let me know how fleeting my life is"
• We have to remember that the fact we can serve God and others means we were given an opportunity to give back to God. With or without us, God's work will not stop. It is our privilidge, it is God's grace!
• There is always be someone else that is much better than us, but He choses us to serve. That's Grace, that's Favor.

The fact that He has won againts the death, the fact that we are chosen to serve, we must live our life in the spirit of optimism:

• We need to give our best! We must be optimistic
• Hebrew 11:4 "By faith Abel brought God a better offering than Cain did. By faith he was commended as righteous, when God spoke well of his offerings. And by faith Abel still speaks, even though he is dead"

A great testimony about Siska, who fought and died because of cancer. But she still choose to serve God till she passed away. Without grumbling, never complained. She gave it all, she gave the best to Him. Excellent sacrifice!

Level iman kita seiring dengan level persembahan kita. It is about our spirit of giving. More excellent sacrifice.
