Do something new in my life !(X2)
Do something wonderful in my life O Lord!

Do something new in my life !(X2)
Do something wonderful in my life O Lord!

在我心中行新事，在我心中行奇事，
在我生命中行奇妙事，啊主 !

在我心中行新事，在我心中行奇事，
在我生命中行奇妙事，啊主 !

I shared with colleagues this morning on Mk2:13-28
where 4 events mentioned on Jesus with His disciples captured my attention.

1. Jesus stayed with the tax-collectors and sinners. (13-17)
2. Jesus was accused His disciples,unlike those of the Pharisees and John's disciples,did not fast.(18-20)
3. Jesus taught on the unsuccessful matchings of both new & old,illustrated by cloth and wine.(21-22)
4. Jesus re-interpreted the correct meanings of the Sabbath (23-28)

In the four areas of people relationships,religious practices,different live styles, ritual & dates,Jesus brought our attention to the significance of tradition and renewal.

I think especially on the training ministry application.
We do need to train workers to be open-minded towards new things and can embark on one' own self-reflection.
