you know today, as pastor was praying for us after the service and all, it suddenly felt as if God was letting me watch a movie.

i swear it's the best movie i've seen in my life.

i saw that scene in The Passion, where Jesus was hanging on the cross, bleeding and beaten beyond form of recognition, crying out, "My God, My God, why have You forsaken me?"

and you know how it is in movies when they show a scene that happens concurrently to the scene that they just showed?

concurrently to Jesus hanging on the cross, i saw God, ripping out the gates of hell like how samsom ripped out the gates of the philistines. i then saw new meaning to the phrase "the gates of hell shall not prevail against us".

then, as the roman soldier poked his spear into the side of Jesus and the water splashed out onto his face, God smashed the gates of hell on the ground and commanded with a voice that was full of victory, "LET MY PEOPLE GO!"

"but He brought His people safely out of egypt, loaded with silver and gold; there were no sick or feeble people among them." psalm105:37

:) haha thank you samson for sharing your story!
