Who Is Jesus Christ?

The Bible declares that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and the Son of Man. The name Jesus, announced by the angel, signifies – “The Lord is Salvation” or “Saviour”. The word “Christ” (The Anointed One) is essentially an official title borne by Jesus as the Messiah and the Son of God.

The Son of God took man’s nature and was born of the virgin Mary. Hence, there are two natures, the divine and human, joined in one Person, who is Christ Jesus. He is the mediator between God and men.

1 Timothy 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.

By His suffering, crucifixion, and death, Jesus who is sinless, became a sacrifice for all the sins of men.

After His death, Jesus rose again on the third day and ascended into heaven and is now at the right hand of God the Father. He shall forever reign and have dominion over all creatures.

The Apostle Paul commends the believers in Rome for their adherence to God’s truth. Their piety before God is attested by the approval of godly men. He cautions them not to yield to temptation, the enticement to sin, encouraging them to adhere to that which is good and shun that which is evil.

Romans 16:18, Serving Their Own Belly

By Rev. Lek Aik Wee Posted on 3 September, 2016 Posted in Devotions Tagged with Devotion, Book of Romans, 3 September 2016

The Apostle Paul urges the believers in Rome to be mindful of false teachers that will with their “smooth” talk and flattery deceive the unguarded and inexperienced ones. These false teachers serve not our Lord Jesus Christ but their own selfish interest. The term “their own belly”, Barnes observed, “Their own lusts; their own private interests; they do this to obtain support. The authors of parties and divisions, in church and state, have this usually in view.”

Romans 16:17, Mark Them Which Cause Division

By Rev. Lek Aik Wee Posted on 2 September, 2016 Posted in Devotions Tagged with Devotion, Book of Romans, 2 September 2016

The peace and harmony of the church are disrupted by such who “crept in unawares” (Jude 3) into the congregation of God’s people. There the beloved Apostle’s counsel is that they are to “mark them” these. The word means “to spy out, look towards an object, to contemplate, give attention to”. God’s people are to be on the look out for such trouble-makers that can destabilise the faith of God’s people.

He exhorts the believers to continue with the practice of greeting one another, maintain the warm relations of spiritual kinship. It may be a handshake, a warm embrace, keep up the spirit of sincere Christian love among brethren. Amen.

Ecclesiastes 4:4-6

4 Again, I considered all travail, and every right work, that for this a man is envied of his neighbour. This is also vanity and vexation of spirit. 5 The fool foldeth his hands together, and eateth his own flesh. 6 Better is an handful with quietness, than both the hands full with travail and vexation of spirit.

This man Rufus is a chosen vessel wherewith God’s presence abide. Not so much his salvation but his godly character. He was one who lived out the Christian character. His love for God and the brethren is well-attested. And his mother cared for the Apostle Paul and is like a mother to him.

Romans 16:12, Labour In the Lord

By Rev. Lek Aik Wee Posted on 30 August, 2016 Posted in Devotions Tagged with Devotion, Book of Romans, 30 August 2016

These ladies understand the meaning of Christian service. The Apostle Paul commend them for their faithful service in the work of the gospel. They were willing hands ready to toil for the Lord. It is God who blesses these ladies with His presence, power and purpose that they would volunteer their services. Often, the Christian toil is unseen and unheard, a quiet plodding on. The Apostle Paul encouraged them to press on with the good work by his commendation. May the Lord grant you strength and wisdom to labour in His name. Amen.

Romans 16:10-12, Greeting to Families

By Rev. Lek Aik Wee Posted on 29 August, 2016 Posted in Devotions Tagged with Devotion, Book of Romans, 29 August 2016

Indeed, the Apostle Paul has many friends and co-labourers in the Lord. When he was first converted, the Christians feared him for his past misdeeds persecuting Christians. We see how the grace of God can transform the heart of a man. He was changed from a fierce persecutor to a key champion for the cause of the gospel. God can save even the vilest of sinners by His mercy.

Acts 7:54-60 When they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him with their teeth. 55 But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God, 56 And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God. 57 Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and ran upon him with one accord, 58 And cast him out of the city, and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man’s feet, whose name was Saul. 59 And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit. 60 And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep.
