Goodbye E

Lost a dear friend yesterday! He battled cancer for a year and he went home to be with the Lord. Here today, gone tomorrow!! Guess it must be glorious for him.

Thank God that we had a chance to share tea together on Sat. We chatted and I blessed him with 2 books and yummy cakes.

2 cor 5:1-21
Our bodies are temporal tents and these tents can grow weary. For we live by faith and not by sight. What is our goal in living this temporal life? Vs 9. To please Him! Cos we must all stand before Christ and be judged. We will each receive whatever we deserve for the good or evil we have done in this earthly body.

Thus, like paul's encouragement, we should work hard to persuade others. Christ's love controls us or compels us. Christ died for everyone so that those who receive His new life will no longer live for themselves. Instead they will live for Christ.

Thats why,like Paul,we should stop evaluating others fm a human point of view. If we are in Christ,we become a new person! The old life is gone, a new life begins. God has given us the tasks of reconciling people back to Him.
