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.

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!

Christ is Risen on that first Resurrection Sunday!
“If you confess with your mouth ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved” (Romans 10:9, ESV).
May He reign in your life even as He is LORD of all!
The video below, “Jesus is Alive!” depicted the resurrection scene (based on John 20:1-23) from The Life of Jesus movie.
Blessed Good Friday 2023
Design: Blessed Ong
“But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed.”
Isaiah 53:5 ESV
“It is finished!” said Jesus as he breathed his last and gave up his spirit (John 19:30). This final act showed in stark relief how he willingly and unflinchingly took on the entire weight of all our sins upon himself as the sacrificial lamb of God after he had completed all the prophetic tasks required of him as the incarnate Christ.
