hello my dear solomon knights..
so i went to camp retreat over the easter weekend and i learnt a few stuffs.. and some challenging questions.. so the camp's theme is The 3rd Day.. referring to the resurrection of Jesus Christ..
we studied the Ecclesiastes which kept directing life is meaningless.. one good example is the game of Snake and Ladders.. like how fast you can climb the ladder to reach the top but all you need is just a snake to bring you back all the way down.. there are many things in life that is meaningless and is a chase after the wind.. we work so hard in life to eat and we eat to have energy to work and the cycle continues.. isnt all these for nothing when afterall we will die in the end ? so since everything in life is meaningless, why not just eat, drink and be merry ?? if you just think about it, life is ''just a few days''.. learn to number your days.. every day that pass, we are one day closer to our death..
we also were minded how important it is for the resurrection to occur.. ask you ar.. when you tell people of Jesus that He died on the cross for our sins and so on.. do you remember to mention that He resurrected too ? as for me, i tend to forget about that part.. but the resurrection is very important !! it shows that the God that we believe in is a Living God !!
and we had mini-talks on other religions and how they look at life after death..
we also had "resurrection on trial" whereby we played as though we were lawyers and had to defend our statement.. we were given accusations against the resurrection on Jesus and we had to come up with witnesses to defend.. it was quite interesting really..
have you ever wonder how much pain Jesus went thru when He was on the cross ? i mean we always know that He was in pain.. But to what extent do we feel it ? i read this document where this modern doctor was explaining all the medical terms and only if you can imagine the image.. it is gross..
well, i fell sick and a church camp feels funny without you guys.. this feeling of loniness is really pathetic.. o wellz..
press on people =)
