What's your say?

Thanks to all of you who have been keeping in-touch with our website in the run-up to Redeemed 09' . This time we'll carry on with our regular section of 'What's your say?'. We have with us a native of Penang; Aileen Tay a final semester A-levels student to share with us the meaning of Easter to her and how it has changed her life. Enjoy!

Easter is a time where Christians all around the world commemorate the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. For me, it is a time where I reflect on the goodness of God, that his love is so great and selfless, for Him to choose to die on the cross for someone so unworthy as me.

Contrary to popular believe, being a Christian doesn’t mean that life is going be smooth sailing and perfect. But it means that God is with us and in us and will NEVER forsake us as long as we cling to him in times of trouble. This is an amazing assurance that one must experience in order to comprehend. I have my fair share of hardships and disappointments, but I can assure you that God’s grace has been sufficient for me! Of course, sometimes I do wish “Oh lord, please make this problem/person disappear into thin air, I don’t want to suffer anymore”. :) But His plans are always the best, and He will only give good things to us, His children.

This year, I hope that my family and friends will also experience the joy of Easter, that is Jesus is risen from the dead and He is lord. ;)
