Compiled by B. Ryngksai (NBD III)

Who am I?

Life's so wonderful,
The greatest gift of God!
Who can create it?
Who can destroy it?
Anyone has authority over it?
The Almighty holds everything
Man is just dust
And goes to the same place where he started (Ecc. 3:20)
Life belong to the Creator
None has the control over it
Then reason!!!
Who am I?

-- Imsujungla, (NBD III)

The Fervent Four I: the quality of selflessness

The ‘four men’ who carried the paralytic in the gospel of Mark 2 were just SELFLESS! Hearing of Jesus’ arrival at Capernaum after many days, the four friends could have just gone by themselves. They could have hurried to see Jesus before He left for another nearby town. We see that they SAW a need and ACTED toward it. They couldn’t just go to see Jesus without carrying this ‘paralytic on the mat.’

As Christians, this passage challenges us to be selfless in our attitudes and actions. All of us see needs around us but few of us act. May the quality of selflessness be the very essence of our faith that brings the stigmatized, overlooked, and the ‘not our type’ people to Jesus!
