A victor i am.

Happy Passover, Everybodeee!
Met Paskah yaaa.

It's been quite a long weekend.
quick flash back.

Friday: All day long at Hawthorn Town Hall, preparing for the passover service we had that evening. It was great. Loved the drama "The Greatest Love".
Just a summary about the drama, it's a story of a guy who killed a person. Automatically, he was sentenced for death, since that was the just and fair thing. But on the last breath, the murdered boy told his dad to forgive the murderer. And ironically, the Dad was the judge. Hard as it would be, in the end he let go of all charges that was put against the murderer. The murderer was left unpunished, given the gift of life. The dad who was also the judge knew that his son's death would be meaningless if the murderer was still punished, then he wouldnt know what was the gift of life, second chance of life.
Intinya, sama halnya dgn kita yg udah ditebus dgn darah Yesus. Dia yg gak seharusnya disiksa n dibunuh, malah rela mati supaya kita bisa bebas, and gak perlu ngebayar semua hukuman2 itu lagi. Gak pantas banged ya kita?
Sabtu: All day road trip. Great ocean road. Dari jam 7 Pagi sampe jam 12 Malem. capee banged.
Minggu: Paskah.
Duh, suara gw udah habis sejak hari jumat. Cant sing, cant talk that well either.
Padahal pas kebaktian pgn bgt nyanyi & teriak sperti biasanyaaa (semangat sperti biasanyaa), tpi hari ini harus gw tahan smua ituu hehe..
kotbah hari ini bener2 luar biasa sih. Ps Daniel emang bener2 dipake Tuhan luar biasa banged. smua pewahyuan2 itu tuh.. awesome deh.
He preached about when Jesus died and rose again on the 3rd day, it means that He defeated sin and death. and pas kita percaya & terima Dia sbagai Tuhan, it means that we have also been united with Christ in defeating sin and death as well. Which means that death has no power again against us.
Yes, we will have to face death some how, but we should have no fear against it anymore.
Yes, sin will always be in front of us, tempting us, but now we have the power to overcome sin. That's because sin shall have no dominion over us. and that's what Grace is.
We commit sin because we are sinners, not the other way around.
The awesome thing is that we dont and cant do anything to change that. That's God's part. He has taken the dominion and freed us from sin. He's done that job for us.
Now its our step to just believe.
Believe that we are victors, not victim.
God has faith in us to overcome sin and not be trapped by all its lies.
So if God believes in us, why dont we believe in ourself?
Believe in His promise as well that says sin has no dominion over us.

That sermon just opened my eyes.
It makes me see God in another perspective. As a loving God, who doesnt demand or threatens us, but supports and encourages us in what we do. Because He knows the difficulties that we are going through, and He cares a lot. He did the hard part for us, now He just wants us to accept that grace.

btw, just watched Narnia before whilst eating dinner.
Pas banget, pas lagi paskah gitu.
So sad pas liat singanya mo nyerahin diri buat dibunuh, padahal yg seharusnya dibunuh kan si Edmund. hmm,, it's just so unfair when you see it. The one that's deserved to be punished malah di let go tanpa harus bayar apapun.
ak slalu liat dari sudut pandang luar gitu. ga pernah ak liat diri ak sbagai si Edmund, yang seharusnya dipunish, malah bisa bebas gitu.
but that's what we are.. When Jesus was crucified 2000 years ago, we were set free. and udah ga ada lagi yang harus kita bayar. sudah lunas smuanya.

so undescribable, awesome.

so underserved i am.
