Expression 2015

My son was selected to be one of the participants in the play of the school function, Expression 2015. As such, his parent, my wife and I were invited too. It was an academic secular function, and my attendance to such came after a decade or so. The impression I had about the Expression was that people in the world are all aiming and hoping and working toward a better life; financially, academically, psychologically and religiously even.

The plays of the students covered the three main religions of the world- Hinduism, Islam and Christianity, with emotional and heart touching moral and ethical theme. Clubbed with an academic report of the school and students' performance in the last academic year. All were excellent. Not an exaggeration, but a fair and honest judgment.

This is the sum of human yearnings and aspirations. Are we, the children of God, also on the same pace? Morally, ethically, academically or even religiously? Far be it, and God forbid. We are under a totally different dispensation; yes, under the heavenly and divine dispensation. Not negating the roles played by worldly academics, nor depending upon it. Not despising the comforts and conveniences of the modern age, nor collaborating with it. But amidst all these, living to God and His eternal purpose.

As children of God, created in the image of God, and regenerated by the life of God, we are the real "EXPRESSION" of God! Possessing God's divine life and nature, we are the expression of God on this earth. Our lives and living, all that we say and do, all that we are and have, all for the Lord's testimony, His expression. Not just for today, but even unto eternity.

What the world sought for,a better expression in all walks of life, we, the children of God are the real expression of all.

Lord, have mercy on us and grace us each day to expression You as Your living testimony.
