ICF Church - sharing

I went to ICF for church service today, and it was a good service with excellent message ... It was about looking at life from heaven's perspectives and how all christians live as strangers in this world ... Heaven is home, etc etc ... One thing that strikes me the most from the sermon was this: In the same way/level of intensity that God the Father indwelled in Jesus before, so does the Son now indwells in me, and when the people who saw Jesus at that time saw the Father Himself, and so does now when people see me, they are suppose to see Jesus ... What strikes me the most is the parallellity between the two ... Now I am suppose to live as such that people can see Jesus in me just like Jesus lived before .. Before today, I thought that yes Jesus live in me and I have to show Him to others, but not thinking it would be the same as the Father live in Jesus and everyone who saw the Father also saw Jesus ...

Anyway, I also talked to two people today at church .... One person is called Bob (church elder) and the other I could not remember .... It was good sharings, God talks ... They both in my view are godly man who wants to do His will ... Bob was a quiet man, but his bible knowledge is awesome ... The wisdom kind of man I should say ... He is old, but never lose his composure, full of emotion (I saw him preaching once and mann he used lots of emotion in his preaching) ... Very low profile in church but a great servant and elder .... The other person lived far from the church and not a regular church members, but has been very active in sharing the gospel to the university students in his area, distribute tracts on the street, etc ... I can see his burden because he shared with me that Dutch nowadays just don't care about God ... He found that westerners (dutch) are not as opened as Asian when being evangelized on the street ...

I shared my experiences in Holland so far and the two of them understand and prayed that I will have a fruitful time here .... It was great! Really thanking God for my time at ICF today ...
