Have you ever read the Bible?

Happy Christmas and a Joyous New year to all.

I'm teaching in a Buddhist school but we also celebrated Christmas. They celebrated it just for season's sake. Yesterday, while I was standing at the school front door to greet the students, me and my co-ESL teacher were talking about the afternoon Christmas party. He's from Wales. All of a sudden, he asked me, Have you ever read the Bible? so I said "yes"... then he added, Jesus died in the end and He disappeared. He looked faithless and never believed at all.

What a challenge!!! We all have our own backyard to sow the seeds of God's love. Christians are sometimes counting the number of countries where Christianism was opened... but... there are still millions of people in our own backyard who never heard of Jesus. How can tell them of His love???

As the song says:
Somewhere across the waters, there are villages and cities
They never heard of Jesus
Because no one has ever told them
We've got to tell the world
The Lord is soon to come.

How can we tell it to the world??? Have we experienced the greatest love so we can prove as we sow the seed? I believe each of us has our own talent that God has given for us to multiply. We do have different callings. One may tell us to do this..... or do that..... but each one of us is uniquely designed for God's purpose. We can never be the same with our ancestors, or parents or brothers or great grandparents. We are what we are. God has given us the mind to decide, to conceive good deeds and to bring forth glory to God. The very person who will be meeting God in His soon return.

May this year be a glorious one... as God needs workers for the harvest is great and the workers are few. Happy New Year!!!
