Welcome

Mr. Z was on his holiday in Malaysia. He was at Kuala Lumpur in the weekends so he decided to go to one of the local churches around the area where he lives. At the church, there was a line of ushers welcoming people. The ushers were extending their hands to warmly greet the people so Mr. Z extended his and shook their hands. As he was about to clasp the hands of the usher, the usher retracted his hands and the handshake was merely a touch on the fingertip. Finding that oddly weird of a handshake, he waited till the service was over and went and ask the usher out of curiosity, "Excuse me, but I was wondering if it was the custom of a handshake to just touch the fingertips?". The usher replied, "No larh..I just didn't want to dirty my hands from all the handshake."

Mr. Z grinned with disbelief and bode him goodbye, wondering in his heart "I wonder if Jesus was thinking the same..".

John 21:15-19

Jesus Reinstates Peter

¹⁵When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon son of John, do you truly love me more than these?"
"Yes, Lord," he said, "you know that I love you."
Jesus said, "Feed my lambs."

¹⁶Again Jesus said, "Simon son of John, do you truly love me?"
He answered, "Yes, Lord, you know that I love you."
Jesus said, "Take care of my sheep."

¹⁷ The third time he said to him, "Simon son of John, do you love me?"
Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, "Do you love me?" He said, "Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you."

Jesus said, "Feed my sheep. ¹⁸ I tell you the truth, when you were younger you dressed yourself and went where you wanted; but when you are old you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go." ¹⁹Jesus said this to indicate the kind of death by which Peter would glorify God. Then he said to him, "Follow me!"

Just As I Am

Stricken with long term disability at age 30, Charlotte Elliot spent many years hating God for the suffering He had visited upon her. Unbeknown to Charlotte, God was orchestrating her pain to blossom into joy in Christ and produce the fruit of hundreds of hymns, including the song 'Just As I Am', which would become the soundtrack of joy for millions of future believers.

Just as I am without one plea
But that Thy blood was shed for me,
And that Thou bidd’st me come to Thee,
O Lamb of God, I come! I come!

Just as I am, and waiting not
To rid my soul of one dark blot,
To Thee, whose blood can cleanse each spot
Lamb of God, I come! I come!

Just as I am, though tossed about
With many a conflict, many a doubt,
Fightings within, and fears without,
O Lamb of God, I come! I come!

Just as I am, poor, wretched, blind
Sight, riches, healing of the mind
Yea, all in need, in Thee to find,
O Lamb of God I come! I come!

Just as I am, Thou wilt receive,
Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve
Because, Thy promise I believe
O Lamb of God, I come! I come!

Just as I am, Thy love unknown
Hath broken every barrier down;
Now, to be Thine, yea Thine alone,
O Lamb of God, I come! I come!
