" the high priest carries the blood of animals
into the most Holy Place as a sin offering,
but the bodies are burned outside the camp.
And so Jesus also suffered outside the city gate
to make the people holy through his own blood.
Let us, then, go to him outside the camp,
bearing the disgrace he bore.
For here we do not have an enduring city,
but we are looking for the city that is to come. " Hebrews 13: 11-14
i personally dislike like the idea of nuns and monks going away, far away in solitude to seek peace...
isolating themselves from the world...
to run away from it all for ETERNITY...
the idea is just disgraceful towards God,
chickening out from what they really as christians should be doing
what if one day, all the monastries had been destroyed...
and back to the sin city they have to go... could they play survivor being here on real world?
the idea of being in this world but not part of the world, is to live in the world trying to survive, to presevere
to spread the good news... to be tempted in every way... everyday... and learning how to resist and flee from it... but yet not to run and hide.
its good to sometimes go away from it all back to the "camps"... to seek peace and comfort
and without distraction, to further seek God... and to get right with Him
but all this should only be temporary...
and would have to return back to the battle grounds... till his days are finally over... and can Balik Kampung!!
the Exam fever has finally arrived... everyone is now sitting tightly at their study desk... not missing a wink of studies... stressing their brains to bits...
while I... just float around... singing... oh la la...
well, while i was preparing for bedtime... i amused myself for about 2 minutes with a little red button... thats how exciting my nights are...
