dear kiddos (hehe),

i have a story to tell.

we teachers said we wanted to exchange a verse for 1/4 prata. but we really want to treat you all! :) hee. in any case, it reminds me of Jesus.

So, we treated you all to prata. We didn't do it cos you memorised the verses. Even if you couldn't memorise, we still would have treated you. Does this mean you don't memorise the verses? No, instead you memorise cos you know we love you all like Paul loved the Philippians. :)

Similarly, God gave us His 10 commandments among other laws. Apparently, if we obey the laws, then God will grant us salvation. but through the people of Israel who received these laws, it has been shown that NO ONE is righteous or good enough to be able to obey these laws. So He sent Jesus, through whom we have salvation. but does that mean we do not obey His laws since we are not good enough? No, instead because of God's love and mercy, the more we should obey Him. Not to get salvation, which has been freely granted to us, but because to obey is to show that we love God.

Ok, I am not trying to say the teachers are as great as God. Haha, I just wanted you all to realise how wonderful our God is. :)

See you all this Sunday!
