Dear Friends,

Greetings in the blessed name of Jesus and welcome to City Harvest, Kuala Lumpur!

What a great joy it is to have you with us this weekend!

First and foremost, my family and I would like to wish everyone a happy and blessed Easter! Easter is probably the most important day in the calendar of the Christian church. It is the weekend that marks the crucifixion and the resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. It is a time of celebration, though it began with Jesus’ suffering. For through it, He overcame death on the cross. As such, those who believe in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life (John 3:16). Lives would carry a new sense of purpose and destiny. Christianity is built on such solid foundation – that Christ died and is risen. Had Jesus not risen, our faith would be meaningless. Had Jesus not overcome death, there would be no cause of celebration.

Christian faith lies in the person of Jesus, the Savior of our soul. It is not based on a list of principles or a set of rules. Our salvation is not a result of our work or our effort. We are saved because we place our faith in Jesus. Is it that simple? Yes, but that is because God has paid the price for us.

This weekend at City Harvest, we have adapted a story in the Bible to show everyone the magnitude of the love of Christ and the challenges that all of us have to face. Sometimes, life can really be tough. But with God, we know we can overcome all things. With God, we can look at life from a totally different perspective. And my friends, may I invite you to come and celebrate this special weekend with us and at the same time, open your heart to allow God to do a new work in you?

It is my prayer that you life is touched and blessed!

Much love and prayers,

KEV
