As Sundays approach, I feel eagerness inside me like a child awaiting for gift from his parents. There is excitement in me when it is Sunday - the day the Lord has made when his people come together singing praises, listening to His Word (vertical aspect of worship) and having fellowship with one another (horizontal aspect of worship).

Another choral eucharist at St James Anglican being attended this Sunday. This week reminds us about the birth of John the Baptist- son of the priest Zechariah (Luke 1:13). Holding the priesthood of Aaron (Luke 1:5), John was a prophet of wilderness preaching repentance and performing water baptism in the Jordan river for the forgiveness of sins (Mark 1:4; Luke 3:3). Insufficiency of water baptism was to be made complete with baptism of Holy Ghost performed by The One which was to come (Luke 3:16). "The One" was referred to Jesus our Lord and Saviour.
Today's world is still in much need of God's salvation through Jesus Christ. As God's people, we are challenged to share the good news with friends and colleagues in our surrounding. We are the light and the salt of the world.
