* "If we say we have no sin, we are misleading ourselves and the truth is not in us"(1 John 1: 8-10 ; Romans 5: 12). We all need Jesus Christ's ransom sacrifice (John 3: 16 ; 1 Corinthians 15: 22). All students who get below 100% in an exam need to listen to the teacher's corrections.
May we not be self-righteous (like the Pharisee of Luke 18: 9-14) or abuse God's grace to continue in deliberate sin (Hebrews 10: 26- 31). Happy Easter.

* Balaam failed to curse the Israelites while they were in good standing with God (Numbers chapters 22 - 24). He later got them to sin and earn God's wrath (Numbers 25: 1-15 ; 31: 15-18 ; Revelation 2: 14). May we not fall into our enemies' trap through deliberate sin (Hebrews 10: 26- 31). Happy Easter.

May God enable us to do His will, even when it is not easy to do so (Luke 22: 41,42).His laws are for our benefit in the long run (Isaiah 48:17 ; Hebrews 2:9).

God's love surpasses all understanding. (Deuteronomy 29:29 ; 1 Peter 1:12). When Satan instigated people to kill Jesus Christ, he didn't know that the move will accomplish God's purpose for humanity (Genesis 3:15) .May all our dreams come true, regardless of Satanic opposition.

Christ's resurrection establishes our hopes and silences our fears. Death has lost its sting and victory (1 Corinthians 15: 55). May we endure to the end and be saved (Matthew 24:13),while also sharing the good news with other people (Acts 20:20).
