捨身示愛
Se san si ngoi

人生幾何獲這愛
Yan saang gei ho wok je ngoi
捨身自己來示愛
Se san zi gei loi si ngoi
獨闖十字憑真愛
Duk cong sap zi pang zhen ngoi
祇求逆子受此愛
zi kau ngaak zi sau ci ngoi
慈父攤手待贈愛
Ci fu taan sou doi zang ngoi
熱吻浪子流淚愛
Jit man long zi lau leoi ngoi

This video clip speaks of the Cross to me. It may not be so to you, it is to me.

1 John 4:10
In this is love: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation (the atoning sacrifice) for our sins.

God's love for me was demonstrated and proven on the Cross. Anything that gives me a sense of that love speaks to me of the Cross.

Labor Pains

John 16:21-22 likened Jesus' disciples to a woman in labor.

²¹A woman, when she gives birth to a child, has grief (anguish, agony) because her time has come. But when she has delivered the child, she no longer remembers her pain (trouble, anguish) because she is so glad that a man (a child, a human being) has been born into the world.

²²So for the present you are also in sorrow (in distress and depressed); but I will see you again and [then] your hearts will rejoice, and no one can take from you your joy (gladness, delight).

John 16:33 is the epidural:

I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.]

This series of free pregnancy e-books serves to give an idea of the pregnancy experience. Very suited for men. May this series help in relating better to John 16:21-22 when we experience labor pains in our Christian walk. For a start, may it help the men love and appreciate their wives just that little bit more.
