The memorial was good... A lot of people attended including a few teachers... Personally, I kinda liked Mrs Meagan Lim's speech... She said that during Form 3, she gave Bryan lots of work to do as he was the class monitor... And now Bryan has given her the toughest homework she has which is to give an eulogy speech... Initially, she refused to do it because she knows that she will cry and won't be able to finish it, but in the end, she gave the speech because she wanted to complete the task that Bryan gave... It was so touching!!!
And it's just amazing to see how a simple action can bring so many people to remember a great man... Put this into Jesus' death and resurrection you'll start wondering why people deny it... How can someone accept historical facts from ancient Chinese history to Liverpool FC being sold and reject the one and only historical document that will bring unbearable consequences- the Bible!!!
Well, this morning when I woke up, my parents asked me how was yesterday... I told them about it then they started asking me about his results and his performances which I don't really know, then my dad started yelling... Just because I seem to be normal doesn't mean I don't need to be consoled, and if you don't want to console me then fine but not yelling at me!!! More over, yelling at me just because I didn't find out about his results??? WTH is wrong with you?! A man died and you're asking about his results?! Mind you, I had problems talking to his parents yesterday night and how am I supposed to ask about other stuffs?! It's just so absurd!!!
While I living on with my day, I think I finally understood why religions that promote salvation based on works are so sellable!!! Even for me, I really wanted it to happen so that I can bring my friend back to life again... But then, come to think of it, do you really think you can do ALL the works and save a life?!
In Luke 10, a lawyer asked Jesus what can he DO to INHERIT eternal life... The question itself is already contradicting... If you're gonna inherit something, you definitely don't and can't do anything!!! But Jesus didn't shoot him down, Jesus asked him about the law since he was a lawyer... The lawyer stated the 1st commandment and loving neighbour... Jesus asked him to GO, AND DO LIKEWISE... Obviously, Jesus knows the inconsistency in the lawyer's question, but he gave this reply, to ask him do it... So, is Jesus saying that you can do something to inherit eternal life??? NO!!! It was actually a challenge to the lawyer because Jesus knows that he can't do it... Man, the 1st commandment- Deut 6:5 Love the Lord your God with ALL your Might and ALL your Soul and ALL your Heart... Notice the word ALL??? If you think that Christianity is just another moralistic religion, I challenge you to GO and DO all the ten commandments!!!
So if you were to save yourself based on works, I'd reckon you to just kill yourself and not even try it because within 1 minute, you'll be exhausted and frustrated at the same time!!!
Again, thank God for the Cross and knowing how incapable we are of saving ourselves...
God bless all of you...
