Victory in Christ, God with us

That's the theme for the Easter Musical held in CGBC Ipoh recently. I totally agree with the significance of the theme as Easter is the celebration of resurrection of Christ.

There were two nights: 8pm (Friday) and 7.30pm (Saturday). I missed the first one but attended the second night. It was indeed an awesome night as the youths have put up an egg-citing performance (forgot to mention that the first night was for adults while the second for youths). There's a choir singing hymns at the beginning, followed by a sketch where a father showed his son the the true meaning of Easter. There's dance performace by several teenage girls. Wow.... their dance moves really impressed me as if they're talented ballet dancers.

Later, a brother shared his testimony about his addiction to pornography and how he managed to get rid of the addiction. He even composed a song to demonstrate his love to the Lord. There's 2 more sing presentations: the first one was by a brother and in the second, several brothers and sisters carried a few banners and waved them during the whole presentation. And there's one banner that has Christ is Risen written on it. Amen!

Then, Bro Jospeh Raj took over the stage to share his sermon of the night. Bro Joseph's sermon was mainly about Easter and the resurrection of Christ. In his sermon, He discussed about the relationship of Jesus and Peter, one of his 12 disciples. He also said that the message conveyed from the sketch and the testimony was quite clear i.e Christ is risen. At the end of his sermon, Bro Joseph shared a testimony. His testimony was how the family of one of his coursemates accepted Christ. The father of that coursemate passed away due to cancer several weeks after becoming a Christian while the mother was baptised during Christmas last year. And that coursemate is actually his wife who was interpreting his sermon to Mandarin that night (FYI his wife is a Chinese).

The night ended with Bro Joseph praying for several brave souls who wanted to accept Jesus Christ into their life. While he's doing so, some people started leaving the place, including me & my parents. Actually, I wanted to talk to Bro Joseph since we haven't seen each other since the Amazing Race camp but my dad wanted to leave earlier to avoid traffic congestion. But never mind, I can always keep in touch with him.
