Life with a PURPOSE

Today's sermon is great and meaningful.
So decided to blog about it=)


Sermon Topic: shang di dui wo men de ai - wo men dang ru he ai ta?
John 3:16-17
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. 17 Fod God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.


Then we were shown this special video clips somehow related to this verse.
This clip is about:


Once there was a man…
Who had a son that he loved very much…
The man worked as a bridgemaster for the railroad…
His son loved to watch the trains…
And the people who travel on them…
People who were lonely…
Angry…
Selfish…
Hurting…
And addicted… (drugs)
A tragic mistake… the father raised the bridge when the train was heading towards the bridge at full speed with all the passengers.
When the little boy saw that, he ran to the nearest manual bridge level to try to lower back down the bridge so that the train can pass.
However, the son accidently fell into the hole and was trapped until the bridge.
Leading to a terrible choice…
Allow everyone on the train to die…
Or pull the lever and allow his son to be crushed by the bridge…
The father pulled the lever…
At the very moment, everything slowed down. Tears of sadness flows out of the father’s eyes.
His son is dead, but do the people in the train even know that this had happened?
The emo teenager mention earlier who was addicted to drug, dropped her drug as she saw the father crying in pain…
The Salvation of All…
Required the Sacrifice of One most dear…
The Sacrifice of One…
Bought Hope for the Future…
The father saw this little baby boy that was carried by the mother was survived from a life threatening situation. (this baby boy is from the train)
The mother and baby boy walked pass happily and smiled.
The Bridgemaster smiled as he see the hope for the future, the little baby boy.


This is how much God loved the world: He gave his Son, his one and only Son. And this is why: so that no one need be destroyed; by believing in him, anyone can have a whole lasting life.


The Bridgemaster is like God.
He sacrificed His one and only Son, Jesus Christ who died on the cross for our Sins.
To give us hope for the future.


What can you do to love God more? =D
Lord I thank you for this Love =)


After the whole sermon it was followed by this Song, "WEI HE DUI WO MEN ZHE MO HAO"
Here's the meaning of the lyrics:
walking passes crowds, travelling around everywhere, (zuo guo xi ran ren qun, ta bian hai jiao tian ya)
still unable to find any love that is same as the love Jesus gave to us, (zao bu dao yi fen ai xiang ye shu)
he comforts my heart, he hugs my soul, (ta fu wei wo xin, ta huai bao wo lin)
this unconditional love relationship, (ci bu tuo di, bu qiu hui bao de ai qing)


loved me so much that He came to earth, loved me even to die for me, (ai dao wei wo jiang sheng, ai dao wei wo shuo si)
loved me till understand all the weaknesses, (ai dao ti xiu wo yi qie ruan luo)
gentle He called, patiently he waited, (ta ruo sheng hu huan, ta nai xin shuo huo)
never ending, a love relationship that's no complaints and regrets, (yong bu ting xi, wu yuan wu hui de ai qing)


why is He so good to me? (ta wei he dui wo zhe mo hao?)
even through i'm bad, but he still listens to my prayers, (wo sui rang bu bao, ta que ting wo mei ge qi dao)
even in quiet morning, or sorrowful night, (huo zai ning jing qing chen, huo zai shang xin ye lin)
why is He so good to me? (ta wei he dui wo zhe mo hao?)
even through i'm unworthly, but he still loves me like a treasure, (wo sui rang bu pei, ta hai ai wo ru tong zhen bao)
this love is as high as the mountains, as deep as the sea, God why are you so good to me? (ci qing shan gao hai shen, zhu ni wei he dui wo zhe mo de hao?)

Any wrong meaning pardon me and correct me with the TAGBOARD =)
