The Murder of Jesus.

mellomouse — Fri, 22 Apr 2011 07:26:25 +0000

Did the book title jump out at you? Surely the scarlet letter Murder did.

With today being Good Friday, there’s no better timing than today to understand what today is all about — a day of injustice that was premeditated and willed the Passion of Christ, 2000 years ago.

Today is that Day
We shouted “Crucify Him!” and murdered God

My Verdict:

I bought this book 5 years ago at MPH in One Utama. It wasn’t planned or was I even looking to buy a book that day. I’d like to believe that it found me, and changed my life.

Being a neophyte to the Catholic faith then — baptised the Easter before — I must admit that I never saw the crucification as Murder. I quote the book’s synopsis:

“An unprecedented conspiracy of injustice, cruelty, and religious and political interests sentenced a man guilty of no crimes to the most barbaric method of execution ever devised.”

When I watched The Passion of the Christ in 2004 — again this morning at 12.30am — I didn’t really give much thoughts to the story surrounding it: Why, How, When and Where.

Reading this book helped me to look behind the scenes and how such an heinous act came to be. The book pieced together the ancient account with such details that it literally came alive in my mind (as it promised).

There are 12 chapters spreading across 243 pages examining the event with references to the Bible. It’s not a short read but I promise, you won’t want to put it down until you are done.

Even if you are a non believer, this book is an impactful historical true story filled with drama, love, suspense and medical science that’ll leave you questioning our human nature. How could we be capable of such cruelty?

It’s 3pm now. And as always on Good Friday, the sky is overcast and heaven outpour. There is a reason. Read the book

Did you know that Good also means Holy? Here’s a little common knowledge as to why Good is Holy and today is called Good Friday.

Have a Blessed Holy Friday everyone. Now that Christ had died, let’s awaits His resurrection on Easter!

A song for Christmas.

Christmas isn’t Christmas
Till it’s Christmas in your heart

Somewhere deep inside you
Is where Christmas really starts
So, give your heart to Jesus
You’ll discover when you do
That’s Christmas, really Christmas for you

Jesus brings warmth like a winter fire
A light like a candle’s glow
He’s waiting now to come inside
Like He did so long ago

Jesus brings gifts of truth and life
And makes them bloom and grow
So welcome Him with a song of joy
And when He comes you’ll know

Children’s Picture Bible.

mellomouse — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 16:02:33 +0000

Last Tuesday, LBJ and I began our very first bedtime story ritual. And there’s no better way to begin this timeless tradition than reading the Book of Books inspired by God Himself ♥

Each night I would read one story to him. We’ve just finished the chapter about Isaac and Rebekah last night, so tonight it would be about their sons — Esau and Jacob.

It is amazing how LBJ would respond to my voice while I read him the Children’s Bible. He would move about busily — you can see my bump moving! — once I begin reading and then quiet down as though he is attentively listening. I think he enjoys being read to than sung, since his Mommy squeaks rather than sing *LOL*

I bought this Children’s Picture Bible back in 2004 for myself, while I was on my Faith Journey into joining the Catholic Church. It is a good reference for Enquirers of the Faith to use while reading the Holy Bible because of the simple words. And I loved the watercolour illustrations within.

It never dawn on me then that 5 years later, I would be reading this exact book to my son as his very first storybook *aww*

I hope one day LBJ will also enjoy reading this on his own and be awed of his Creator!

40) Ascension Thursday.

mellomouse — Thu, 21 May 2009 12:00:31 +0000

Today marks 40 days since we celebrated Easter. 40 days — plus 6 Sundays — before that, we walked a Lenten journey with our Lord in preparation for His Passion. And long ago, the Israelite walked for 40 years in search of their promised land…

Today, besides it being 40 days later from Jesus’ triumphant conquer over death and glorified resurrection, we celebrate His ascension into heaven. And He is now seated at the right hand of our Father, with all things under His authority (Ephesians 1:22). You and me, all things equal.

I am blessed to be called His. Although He seems far beyond reach, blessed are we who have not seen but yet believe (John 20:29).

“This Jesus who has been taken up from you [us] into heaven will come back in the same way as you have seen him go to heaven.”

Acts 1:11

Faith is an outward sign of an inward grace. I believe, do you?
