Doubt vs Faith.
-
Matthew 8:25,28
Speaks alot to me, really.
Even Jesus doesn't know (Himself) when the end of the world is, only the Father knows. (Mark 13:32 'No one knows about that day or hour, not even angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only he Father.')
God the Father knows the time, and yes, Jesus and God are one, but when Jesus became a man, He voluntarily gave up the unlimited use of his divine attributes(power). The verse is then not focusing on Jesus' lack of knowledge, but rather the fact that no one knows when the time will come. It is the Father's secret to be revealed when He wants/wills. No on can predict by
Scripture or science the exact day of Jesus' return. Jesus is actually teaching that preparation is what that's needed, not calculation.
Dad's life application study bible teaches me alot of new things, which is good. :)
So, all the false prophets who prophesise about Armaggedon (sp?) coming in 5 years, 10 years etc, they're all false. Don't be deceived! Christians can be deceived too. Just like how Satan used God's word to tempt Jesus (to jump down some tower, I think :s)
Mark 13:5-7 says 'Jesus said to them: "Watch that no one deceives you. Many will come in my name, claiming "I am he," and will deceive many. When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come.'
Yeah man, 'joke' of the day: God just blessed me with a little more brain juice than some others.
:)
We all feel sorry for Ms Kon, she wanted to spend more time with her family after she retires. It's good to know her mother's now resting in the arms of God and that's the most important thing 'cos they'll be reunited once Jesus comes for them.
It was a sad event we went for - 'guard of honour', but it was fun overall I guess. Ge Rou, Shar and I chatted quite abit and laughed much at Ge Rou's retardedness! :D And chatting with Salad while we were waiting for our parents/grandparents to pick us up. That was nice.
Haha, I think Sherri's gonna jump if she finds out I missed the news. I promised her I'll watch. Nevermind! :D Thanks to her mum all the same.
Happy birthday Claire! (if she sees this)
