I do not know

For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, so that you through his poverty might become rich. (2 corinthians 8:9)

Although I booked a cab in advance I still did not manage to reach for the breaking of bread (BOB) service on time but I was like a lot earlier than last week though, lol. I reached just in time for the breaking of bread last week, this week I reached on the singing of the 2nd hymn, 253. Sian, after all that chionging, the bath I took before I left camp became totally pointless -.-

I thought that the sermon for BOB on Sunday was really good though. The verse quoted above was the key verse of the sermon, God's grace was the theme. Pastor reminded us of God's grace, that the plan of salvation, the saviour and the execution of salvation was altogether an amazing thing, something that is difficult or perhaps impossible for me to comprehend or claim to understand.

So, as we broke the bread and partake in the cup (or what is referred to as the holy communion), I began to reflect on God's grace toward me and what "for your sakes he became poor, so that you through his poverty might become rich." means to me.

These ran through my mind:
God became flesh,
God came from heaven to the mortal world,
An omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient "concealed" within a mortal body,
The Holy became sin itself,
The One whose glory none could withstand, endured humiliation,
The King of kings wore a crown of thorns,
Love, who is God Himself, was scorned by those he came to save,
The master of life became the lamb that was slain.

Christ emptied Himself for us is by no means an understatement. He gave up more than His life, He really gave us His all. That move in itself is something that I can really never comprehend. Much less His sacrifice because a mere mortal like me cannot fully understand how or what God really is. I mean, ok, God is Holy. But I cannot comprehend the total absence of sin and God's perfection, its something that is too wonderful for me to understand. Haha I cannot even express my idea clearly in words..

I really do not understand, but what I do know with all my heart is that He has paid my ransom.
The vast difference between what I understand of what Christ has done for me and that which He has actually done for me really just highlights God's amazing grace. Praise the LORD!
