I sought the meaning of life because of my pet rooster. When I was 15, my family pet rooster died, I was devastated and started whether the purpose of being born into the world is just to suffer and die. “If there is indeed a God existing out there, do tell me.” This I questioned to the sky. One day, a Jehovah’s Witnesses elderly couple, met me at my door and started conversation with, “Do you know why there is death and sickness? It is because of mankind’s sin”. I was intrigued to follow their teachings after some time. Life didn’t go well for me and I got crippled with depression. I saw mankind’s wickedness everywhere, the world was hopeless and full of vanity. But one day, I wanted to return to the God that answered me. Somehow, I was recommended and led to CERC. What particularly caught my attention is the seriousness of CERC in reading the bible, and seeing the New Testament as not contradicting the Old Testament, and is not a plan B after the Old Testament either, but rather as one whole united story, a progressive revelation. I am forever grateful for CERC sermons. I pondered the question whether or not this Jesus is my King. This took a year for me to reflect because how can I say He is my King when I do not know this person? A few biblical verses that “talked” strongly to me. E.g. Hosea 4:6, 6:6, Ezekiel 18:29 – these challenged my mind during the early days attending CERC events and sermons. Now that God’s love has overflowed into me, enabling me to truly love and worship our Father in heaven, my life’s priority and its centre has changed, and so have all my decisions, motivations, work, time and energy spent etc.
