Hello dear MFL students and teachers. Last time I updated this blog I told you about Jackie. Well, the latest news for her hasn't been very good. She spent another 7 days in the hospital and is still unable to walk without her crutches. The doctor is saying she may need a new knee put in. Ouch! We are praying that doesn't turn out to be true.
There, you are probably worried about exams and such and I guess very serious. Here in America, it's the happiest time of our year--it's Christmas time, the holiday that
we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, God's only son. About 2000 years ago an angel came to Mary and told her that she would have a son and He would be the Son of God and that she would become pregnant by a miracle of the Holy Spirit. Exactly as the angel said, this miracle took place and Mary did indeed give birth to Jesus Christ.He lived a perfect and sinless life--something none of us or anyone else has ever done. This was predicted thousands of years before that He would be born and live a perfect life because He would later give His life in payment for the sins of the world, for all of us who failed. He was a perfect sacrifice.
After His death, he rose from the dead and made a way for us to not have to die eternally but to live in heaven with Him after our death. The Bible says that
everyone has sinned and the penalty for sin is death. That's why scientists and doctors will never be able to keep us from dying--we have all sinned. But Jesus lived a sinless life and He gave His life for us so that we could live forever with Him. When He rose from the dead, He reached down to those in the graves and gave them eternal life, raising them up too.
Today, all people have the choice about living or dying. We can choose Jesus Christ and live forever. Or, we can ignore Him and die without the hope of living in heaven after we die, eternally separated from God. Scary thought. If you want more information, go see Aj Charles or Aj Jin Ling. And of course you can go to Baan athii taan and see Aj Michael. Whatever you choose, make sure you have researched and made a decision based on what you have learned and sought--not just because I told you or your parents told you. Think for yourself!
I really hope all of you do well on your exams. I have so much enjoyed receiving your emails and hearing about what you are doing. Remember, your very handsome and intelligent teacher misses you and loves you and wants to know what's up in your lives. During your break, write and tell me what you are doing. I do care.
