Passover & Baptism


When Jesus had received the sour wine, he said, "It is finished", and he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.
(John 19:30)

Today Christians all over the world celebrate Passover - the death of the Lamb of God on Calvary Cross for the forgiveness of the sins of the world. On the cross, Jesus bore the FULL punishment of God, the FULL wrath of God on our behalf.

Bible says Jesus, who knew no sin, for our sake, was made to carry our sins, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God (2 Cor 5:21).

Beloved, the severity of sin is such that GOD HIMSELF needed to DIE in order to atone for you and me! O how utterly cursed & ugly is that cross! But at the same time, Jesus chose to come down from heaven in obedience to His Father's will, to be made a mortal man, to die willingly for you and me on the cross! O how lovely is that cross!

Hallelujah!


Tonight, our Church celebrates the baptism of these 21 blood bought souls who confess Jesus Christ as their LORD & Saviour! Praise the LORD!!!


Our beloved Pastor Cheng shared a short sermon on the meaning of Baptism.


There was singing...


There was praying...


And there was giving out of Baptism Class Certs!

Baptism Class Certs:





Then of course we have the BAPTISM:












We were buried therefore with Him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.
(Romans 6:4)

Thank you Jesus for your death on the Cross.
