Good Friday, Easter and after...2011

Mark 16:1-6

And when the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene and Mary, the mother of James, and Salome, got spices, so that they might come and put them on him. And very early after dawn on the first day of the week, they came at the time of the coming up of the sun to the place where the body had been put. And they were saying among themselves, Who will get the stone rolled away from the door for us? And looking up, they saw that the stone was rolled back; and it was of great size. And when they went in, they saw a young man seated on the right side, dressed in a white robe; and they were full of wonder. And he said to them, Do not be troubled: you are looking for Jesus, the Nazarene, who has been put to death on the cross; he has come back from the dead; he is not here: see, the place where they put him!



My wife scheduled to arrive late in the Saturday afternoon. Not only scheduled late in the afternoon but the plane also take his time played with turbulence and delayed about half an hour. As I came just about the time I decided to go straight in to the airport building. generally I have some reading material while waiting but this time there was waiting for a while with empty hand nothing to read nothing to do I headed to Nai-In book store on the third floor of the airport. Many books about Buddhism just on the new arrival shelves. Writers are many from famous Buddhists in Thailand and a lot of books written by famous monk from Vietnam. I learned a bit about this monk when I arrived Thailand during Bible Training School holiday in year 2005 when talking with a friend who admire him and use his method practicing to seek what he was looking for. That time this friend of mine want to follow this monk to live his life. He want to follow that famous monk and live life. Thank God of what the Bible say "Matthew 7:8 Because to everyone who makes a request, it will be given; and he who is searching will get his desire, and to him who gives the sign, the door will be open.
Matthew 7:9 Or which of you, if his son makes a request for bread, will give him a stone?

Just before he turn to become a monk he has accepted Christ and baptized by the Spirit and from that he gave up his plan to become a monk to follow that famous monk and become a seeker for the truth all his life. He has then changed since and become the mouth piece telling what he learned. He has his relationship with his maker restored, his life has been fulfilled with the love beyond what we know and have his life more meaningful in spreading the Gospel. Telling people that religious is like a scanner that telling you that we are all sinner. To get off the major sin which is causing death and forgiveness of sins in life there is no other ways than return to the One who can, our maker and have our relationship restored.
John 10:10 ..... Jesus has come so that they may have life and have it in greater measure.

John 14:6 Jesus said to him, I am the true and living way: no one comes to the Father but by me.
John 14:7 If you had knowledge of me, you would have knowledge of my Father: you have knowledge of him now and have seen him.


Thanks God for make us decided to go back to Chonburi instead of driving another 3 hours up to Wang Nam Kheow and stay there until service over and come home on Monday. We also decided that to go to RMC to join P. John to celebrate Easter and at the same time to meet Paul and Charlie both are facilitators at ILI RC Khon Khaen. They also went up to Chaiyaphume to join P. John visiting churches there. They have a good time at Nong Gotong
Methodist Church.

Praise the Lord for the risen of our Lord Jesus Christ. He become true and true each day when we walk with Him. The reason we live each day just to do what he want us to do while we live in this world.

I have tried to be a good Buddhist monk but I have fail and unable to be good on my own. I am a sinner who always admire many of those great monks but now I know that instead of seeking ask and it shall be given unto you. John 8:32 And you will have knowledge of what is true, and that will make you free.
I have my pride and do not like to easily accept and consider what others advices especially about Jesus Christ the Savior but now after many years in Him I would recommend you to consider with out any reason. Just try. And you will know the truth and that will make you free from deceiving yourselves. I recommend pure gold value from the above Scripture. Try!. Ask and shall be given unto you.

1Thessalonians 1:2-5

We rejoice with them for their decision to confirm following Lord Jesus Christ on the day of remembering Lord Jesus Christ on Easter day, the day of Hisresurrection. We give praise to God at all times for you, keeping you in memory in our prayers; Having ever in mind your work of faith and acts of love and the strength of your hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father; Being conscious, my brothers, dear to God, that you have been marked out by God's purpose; Because our good news came to you, not in word only, but in power, and in the Holy Spirit, so that you were completely certain of it; even as you saw what our behavior to you was like from our love to you.

Matthew 7:1 Be not judges of others, and you will not be judged.
Matthew 7:2 For as you have been judging, so you will be judged, and with your measure will it be measured to you.
Matthew 7:3 And why do you take note of the grain of dust in your brother's eye, but take no note of the bit of wood which is in your eye?
Matthew 7:4 Or how will you say to your brother, Let me take out the grain of dust from your eye, when you yourself have a bit of wood in your eye?
Matthew 7:5 You false one, first take out the bit of wood from your eye, then will you see clearly to take out the grain of dust from your brother's eye.
Matthew 7:6 Do not give that which is holy to the dogs, or put your jewels before pigs, for fear that they will be crushed under foot by the pigs whose attack will then be made against you.
