Matthew v28:18-20
Then Jesus came to them and said ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age

My deepest condolence to the Lee family and associated friends……
I wasnt very close to him because we weren’t classmates for very long (about three months, I think). But STILL!!!! Don’t you feel very……………… it’s like…. you really really want to get your friends saved
I mean he’s so young. I really really hope someone had talked to him about Jesus before… before…. it’s too late…. :S
one of my friends asked me why we christians are so obsessed with with getting ‘disciples’
If you’ve ever been approach by a friend who wants to tell you about Jesus, give your friend a biiigggg HUG
He/She cares for you enough to want you to be saved
we’re not telling you because we’re benefiting from it. Your being in Christ does not make us gain money (profit) from it. It’s not that if we got you saved, we get a reward….
But its because we love you so much, we don’t want you to suffer in hell (yes, sorry to be really crude and morbid)
But seriously.
when the first man on earth sinned, sin came into this world. From then on, no one can look to God face to face. No way can we go into heaven even if we do lots of good thing. as long as you’ve sinned before, (through lying or whatever), it’s a sin. And we’re separated from God.
But see, God loves us soooooo very muuuuchhh, He gave His ONLY SON so He could DIE for us.
the Bible says, only when a man is pure, (never sinned, either bad thoughts or whatever) and is WILLING to die for us, only then we can go to Heaven. And Jesus was a God, but yet, for us He came down to earth in HUMAN form, so He could DIE for us. From then on, man could turn to God and talk to Him whenever they want (like you talk to your parents directly, while others might have to make appointments to meet him….).
and the thing is, He died for us not because He wants anything in return. Its not because He wants us to do something for Him. No.
It was freely given to us. ![]()
So just rest in His embrace
:D
I guess, I kind of understand that it’s free because, i know my parents love me know matter who I am, what I’ve done. So I guess I understand His love for me. but….. some of my friends don’t
you have to understand, His death (and he rose up again) and love for us was given FREELY. He does not expect you to turn good or whatever…..
His LOVE for is was given FREELY to us 
If you have any questions, please please PLEASE do not hesitate to ask me when you see me
PLEAAAASSSEEEE
