Weekly church sermon. April 12th message.

This week is supposedly be Pastor Reynold, but Pastor Alexa took over instead. And this week I'm playing piano for worship team.

Normally every last Sunday the children are together with the adults to P&W, but for this week they also do that as today is Easter Day.

The message started with a short 20 min clip taken from the movie "The Passion of Christ". Pastor Alexa explained on the meaning of Jesus' crucification on the Cross and his Resurrection. There are 3 theories which Alexa stomped:

1. The ladies may have gone to the wrong tomb. This is seriously a LOL stuff. If they had gone to the wrong tomb, then the angels would've told them that this was not Jesus' tomb. But in the Bible, they said," He is not here. He has risen from the dead, like what He said." They never even mention about going to the wrong tomb. =P

2. The "swine" theory, where you feel so weak that you went into a state of unconsciousness and then, when no one is around, you finally woke up. Like hello, if Jesus did that, and proclaim to his disciples in a condition like this, they would say," Eh master, you look so weak. Come lets go in and rest." But again, they don't. Jesus only appears to some people on and off, without showing any obvious pain. Another theory stumped.

3. The disciples took Jesus away. Remember that the chief priests asked the Pilate to send the Roman soldiers to guard Jesus' tomb, because they heard that on the third day, he will be resurrected. That is true, because they fear that the disciples will steal his body. However, it is the work of God that made this resurrection possible. Even so, the chief priest tell the soldier to tell Pilate that the disciples stole his body while they're sleeping. No wonder chief priests during Jesus' times are so kiasu and just do for their own benefit, not for God.

That's all for this week's message.
