Thoughts for the weekend

The Holy Communion is supposed to serve as a reminder of the ugliness of sin. But do we remember? You can tell me, you remember, His death, you remember His sacrifices, but do you really remember? I remember when I was in sec 3, my principal gave me a letter telling me that if I did not improve my grades, I will kicked out of the school. To this very day, I can remember what I felt, the anger, the injustice I felt done against me. Can you remember?

1 Peter 2:2-3 "Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation,now that you have tasted that the Lord is good."

What is always emphasized in these two verses is that we as Christians need the daily intake of the Word into our lives so that we can grow in Christ. But that is not what I want to highlight here, because you already know that. When babies cry, it's usually for 3 reasons, (1) they need their diapers changed, (2) they are sick, or (3) they are hungry. Let me focus on the third reason because that is most appropriate here. "Like newborn babies" we are to "crave pure spiritual milk", but do we crave it? Do we cry for it? What does it mean to cry? Do we feel that sense of yearning for it? Where we cannot live without it?

You tell me yes now, but here are some questions for you to ponder over before you answer.

The list can go on, but here's the crunch part. Jesus died to set us free, and as Christians we should feel that sense of gratitude. So how do you express your gratitude?
