21st June 2009...Sunday School resumes today...the class turned up was satisfactory...and the lesson for today was..Jesus's Baptism. The class starts with the Baptismal Renewal rites...there were alot of puzzled looks on the faces of the young ones...but anyway lessons continues...Matthew 3:13-17....The Baptism...
John The Baptist was not willing to baptist Jesus because HE was much greater than John and furthermore Jesus was sinless. Nevertheless Jesus insists on being baptised by John in his obedience to God's will and to show that he was one with all sinners..to fulfill what the scriptures says and to accept the mission that GOD had given him....nya panjai mai tu ahhh...how the children takes this...so many to digest...hopes it gets into their system...
While for us...what does it means?
The usage of water in baptism...what does it symbolised...water to quench our thirsts...for God The Almighty...and water as an agent for cleansing and cleaning..a renewed person...body,mind and soul..
God also places a special mark or sign on us that cannot be erased...we became children of God and we called GOD...Our Heavenly Father and we belongs to the Catholic Church...with it comes spiritual support,sacraments and prayers...our responsibilities to follow teachings of the church,serving others and helping others..
We also receives the the gift of the Holy Spirit who becomes our special friend...then we are all being called to share in God's mission....
Hermmm...is this too much to handle for my Bible Study 2...for one beautiful sunday morning...may GOD blesses them for the following week ahead...
It is not easy to get the attention of these children...some are shy..quiet..the girls..while for the boys...well..what can I say...the usual comments for boys...
Bye for now...bumbleebee buzzes off...
