EAST Podcast: Creation Part 2 – Old Earth View
In Isaiah 40:25-26, we read:
“To whom then will you compare me,
That I should be like him?” Says the Holy One.
“Lift up your eyes on high and see:
Who created these?
He who brings out their host by number,
Calling them all by name;
By the greatness of his might,
And because he is strong in power,
Not one is missing.”
In this passage, God himself affirms that he created all things. Indeed, throughout Scripture we see that God’s creation testifies to his glory and might. The fact that he created the universe out of nothing is a core tenet of Christianity. And yet, different believers have conflicting views on exactly when and how God created the universe.
Resurrection Sunday
Jesus said, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die.” John 11:25,26 (ESV)
We serve a risen Saviour! He’s in the world today! Praise God! He died for us, may we henceforth live for Him! Hallelujah!
#ResurrectionSunday
Holy Saturday
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life” John 3:16 (ESV)
On this Holy Saturday, we wait in quiet anticipation, holding onto the hope of resurrection and return. Rev Christopher Chan, Acting Vicar of St Andrew’s Cathedral, has this to say:
On Holy Saturday, we find ourselves in a period of waiting: the darkness of Good Friday still surrounds us as we yearn for the joy of Easter Sunday. Perhaps this mirrors an ongoing painful experience from which we long to be delivered? May we wait patiently for redemption and vindication from God, holding fast to the hope of resurrection life in the new creation, where we shall see His face and rejoice in His presence forevermore. (From Ever Changing World, Never Changing Word: Daily Devotions for Lent 2024)
Blessed Good Friday
“For while we were still weak, at the right time God died for the ungodly.” Romans 5:6
Good Friday – It is good because we who are sinners have a good, good God who died for our sins.
For those who wish to recapitulate what the Holy Week is all about (for which the Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday stand as the resultant endpoints) please see our blog post on “The Holy Week of Lent.”
Blessed Good Friday to all from EAST President, Faculty, Staff and Students!
Caleb & Esther’s New Chapter Ahead
Caleb & Esther are both closely related to EAST. Caleb has served in EAST for the past nine years and Esther is an alumna who first entered EAST while still battling cancer and graduated with a Master of Divinity while her cancer went into remission. They were both singles then but now, they are married with two kids and in May, their young family will be moving to a Creative Access Country to serve for at least five years, Lord willing.
Below is a short interview with them to understand how the Lord has led them and for them to share their prayer needs. Please uphold their family in your prayers as they make the transition into the mission field. If you would like to partner them financially, do email us at admin@east.edu.sg to connect.
