UCSI Easter Evangelistic Session

It was the 21st of March. A group of Christian students from UCSI picked AJPC to be the venue of their "Easter Evangelistic Celebration". They held the event not just to celebrate the Easter day but hopefully to bring salvation into the lives of the non-believers.

I think I represent all of the HG members to say we are proud to have hosted you guys

UCSI had their own musicians but with back-up musicians from the HG Youths. Jeffery, Ivan, Kent and June helped out in the worship session. I kinda have to admit, the UCSI's worship session differed greatly from what we usually do in HG. the way i describe it is a combination of Mustard Seed where you do the signs and dance moves and a little bit of Youth songs.

The UCSI team also performed a skit about Jesus' recension to earth, his arrest and conviction, his torture, crucifixion and finally his Resurrection.

Next Mr Tee who was once an ex-medical lecturer from Kelantan came to give a talk about the accuracies of the physical changes and torture Jesus went through according to modern medical science. To the speaker, I'm terribly sorry i forgot his name. Care to edit the posts?

He gave a substantial amount of accurate and consistent evidence and key events that were proven to be real if examined along with modern medical science. His talk also brought us deeper into what Jesus really went through during the events from his prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane until his death. He also gave evidence to contradict the case of did The Lord really resurrect. In between the talks, scenes from Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ is screened. Not surprisingly, many of us couldn't bear to watch the enitre scene.

The points and evidence include...
- While praying in the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus' sweat was a combination of the usual sweat, urea and salt mixed with blood. This happens when someone is in tremendous pressure. So we got the idea that Jesus was really troubled and tempted not to endure torture and death.

- The flogging of Jesus Christ. The device used was the flagellum which means "whip" in Latin. The device bears many similarities to the thing they use to hit the horse in horse races. However, the flagellum also has ball bearings, shards of bone and spikes. The aim is to create as much bleeding, injury and pain as possible during the flogging process. The result is a slow and agonizingly painful time for the victim. The dermis and subcutaneous tissue is ripped out until at times the ribs, muscle, flesh, spine and other bones are revealed till they are visible to the eye. It is noted that such punishment could very well kill the victim although Jesus survived it do he could finally die.

- The Crucifixion of Christ was also told in parallel with the effects of being nailed to the cross based on medical science. It was obvious that Jesus was severely dehydrated and in agonizing pain due to the flogging earlier on and was the crown of thorns was placed on his scalp. It was also proven by medical science that at the cross that Jesus' arms were probably wrenched and seperated out from their sockets. And with the human body placed in such a position, respiration took a great deal of strength to accomplish and was limited and restricted.

- There has been this long debate between the Jews and the Christian on edvidence that did or did not Jesus ressurected. They're too many points so I couldn't type them all down.

After the talk, we bowed our heads in prayer and went upstairs to eat. Sadly, ladies first. I had to thank God for giving me the oppurtunity to know and test my patience...LOL... I tell you all THE FOOD WAS GREEEAAATTT!!! Thanks guys for the wonderful meal.

After that, some of us chit chat with the UCSI students while some of us had a free jamming time.

As you can see the church was full on that day. The most crowded HG I've ever seen in my 4 years with HG.

Till the next time. And to UCSI, we hope to see you all again.

Shalom...
