Closer to God

J.C. Ryle, an Anglican bishop who often taught on holiness and purity, said that God would use suffering and affliction to bring us closer to Him.

Spiritual growth and closeness to God are more valuable than a life of comfort and temporal ease.

Life is full of distractions that can easily make us forget God. But God is not distant from human suffering. Jesus Christ came into this world as a helpless baby and He suffered and die on the Cross so that we sinners can be reconciled to God our Heavenly Father.

Our goal in life is to enjoy Him and to glorify Him in our daily living. We live not for ourselves but for His glory. 🙏🏼

Blessed Maundy Thursday!

The word “Maundy” comes from the Latin mandatum, meaning “commandment.” As Jesus gathered His 12 disciples in the Upper Room, He gave them a new commandment: to love one another. He didn’t just say it; he showed it. He knelt to wash their dusty feet, and he shared a meal with them, including theman who would soon betray Him for 30 pieces of silver.

For us today, the Lord’s Supper is a reminder of Jesus’ sacrificial love on the cross for us. When we partake in the bread and the cup, we are reminded that: Jesus has come, Jesus is risen and Jesus will come again.
Not only do we partake in the bread and cup, we are to go out and love and serve our neighbours as well. To God be the glory.


Prayer:
Holy God, on this night, we remember that in the shadow of the cross, Your Son Jesus spent His previous last moments on earth with His disciples, giving them a commandment to love one another. Soften our hearts to receive Your grace. Teach us to love as You loved, to serve as You served. In the name of Jesus, the Bread of Life, Amen.
