He is resurrection and life

Luke describes one event that other evangelists do not. That is when two of Jesus’ disciples were returning from Jerusalem after Jesus was crucified. A stranger joined them on the road but they could not recognize him because their eyes were holden. Later, when he was breaking the bread with them, they recognized him but he became invisible to them. In another stance he appeared to another disciple, this time on the riverbank. We see this line how Jesus encourages his disciples through personal appearance. He was training them that he was always near. He could suddenly appear and as suddenly disappear. These were tiny pieces of confirmation for them. That is what we experience as we see him through different events and people.

ESL students

One man said during our class that every honest scientist would recognize the existence of God who is a person, not just matter, who created and maintains everything. We had a more in-depth discussion after that. That is just one more example for us to see how God is working among and around these people. We also see the thorny soil that hinder those little seeds from growing. Continue to pray for this ESL community that everyone would have a spiritual hunger for the truth. Pray that everyone will get saved.

Praise and Prayer

This Sunday we are going to celebrate Easter here. It is a big day here and people are starting to be more sensitive to spiritual things. Please pray that those invited would come to the Easter services. Pray that those who came would listen to the Word with keenness.

Pray for Tim and Christina to be diligent students in their exam preparations. Thank you so much for your prayers and support!
