The Great Escape

I was listening to one of the talk from equip conference 2010 because i just got the mp3 from camp last week. What a great timing to hear the talk from Di Warren about "the greatest escape" as i have been wanting to escape from the business of this life. I had a hectic and tiring weeks and all i wanted to do is just sleep more and escape!!

Di said last night in her talk that we live in a broken world that is caused by evil desires (2 peter 1:4). Because we live in this broken world, we long to be saved from this condition and constantly wants to escape from this situation. I thought to myself " thats so true!" (dont u agree too??) I continuously feel tired from the things that i have to do and even if i have rest, it is temporary because sooner or later i will need to rest again.. the whole rest and tired cycle would go round and round in a circle and i often feel tired of going around in that circle pattern.

I was reminded that as a christian, Jesus saved me from this broken world. I have escaped the corruption of the world which means that i have hope in the eternal rest where i wouldnt have to go through the emotional feeling involved in the circle pattern anymore.

The true escape is not all about going away on a holidays or running away from the business of life but the true escape can be find in Jesus alone because he saved us from the corruption of this world through his death on the cross. Holidays and rest are great and thank God for giving us rest and relaxing things to do but lets be reminded that the true escape from this broken world relies on Jesus!

I am now ready to face the second half of the year by remembering the greatest escape story i  have in Jesus. Life will deff gets busy or even busier (maybe) but when i feel tired or burden, i have Jesus that i can come back to and gain my strength to persevere from.
