The Holy Communion Re-visited

And as they were eating, he took bread, and after blessing it broke it and gave it to them, and said, " Take; this is my body." And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to them, and they all drank of it. And he said to them, " This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many. - Mark 14:22-24 (ESV)

Jesus knew His time has come for Him to redeem mankind. He knew He would die for the sins and transgressions of men. And He knew the disciples and all those who had believed Him would be lost, like sheeps without their shepherd for their providence. The providence is healing for the physical body. The providence is peace for the heart. The providence is wisdom for the mind. The providence is wealth for the poor. The providence is anything that one need from Jesus. I think that was one of the reason why Jesus instituted the new Passover Feast - Holy Communion.

Jesus told His disciples to partake of the Holy Communion as often as they wanted in remembrance of Him. For the bread represents the body of Christ that was burnt, striped and pierced on our behalf. And the drink represent His shed blood for our righteousness. When one partake of the Holy Communion, one is partaking of the completeness of Jesus' work at the cross. One is feasting on His body and His finished work at the cross!

The night before the great exodus from Egypt, the Lord told the children of Israel to eat of the roasted lamp, every part of it. The Lord also told then that the sacrificial lamp be killed at the threshold of the door and to sprinkle the blood of the sacrificial lamp on the lintel and two doorposts. This is the picture of what Jesus will go through at the cross some one thousand and five hundred years later.

Before the Passover Feast, the Lord told the children of Israel to ask Egyptians for jewelry and the Egyptians gladly gave to them for they were probably fearful of the children of Israel because of their God by then. When the angel of death combed the land of Egypt, the lives of those who had sprinkled the blood of the lamp were spared while the firstborn of the Egyptians were killed.

The very next day, there between two and three millions of the children of Israel leaving Egypt. There were none feeble and sick. On top of that, they were all very wealthy because of the gold and silver that were given to them. What a wonderful picture of those who partake of the Holy Communion! There shall be none sick and feeble when one partake of the Holy Communion and one shall be made rich when one partake of the Holy Communion.

The more one partake of the Holy Communion in remembrance of Jesus' finished work at the cross, the healthier one can be and also the riches of one's wealth shall be increased. One is also wiser by regularly partaking of the Holy Communion. Hallelujah for the wonderful work at the cross!

Mobile Note Taker

I didn't notice that it had been awhile since I last posted something regarding a gadget.

Anyway, I am going through the paces with this Mobile Note Taker to incorporate the device into my daily lifestyle. Here's the link to a video demonstration of the mobile note taker.

My initial impression is good with this digital pen. So far, the OCR installed on my notebook is able to convert my hand written note by a accuracy of around 95%. Considering the fact I was writing on the go, this percentage is pretty amazing.

That's all for the time been.

Nokia 5800 XpressMusic

Nokia recently launched the 5800 XpressMusic. It is a touchscreen smartphone. The specifications look impressive for a mid-range smartphone. Going to check it out when it is available locally.

New kind of touch screen input

Just chanced upon this new touch screen input called Swype. Check out the link: Swype

Definitely makes me re-think the usefulness of touch screen input.

Touch screen display

I was just wondering the practicality of touch screen display on mobile phones such as Apple iPhone. Even with haptic feedback on mobile phones such as Samsung Omnia, I kind of felt that a response from a button pressed is much more practical. Not to mention when you are having something oily to eat like fried chicken wings. You just don't want to "oil" your precious screen on your phone.

Not enough memory to run help files

Just made an interesting discovery. When the internal memory is lower than the estimated 45 Mb of memory for your Nokia S60 3rd Edition Smartphone, you'll not be able to run the help files. I accidentally discovered this when I happened to remove some applications from the internal memory to the point I have around 45 Mb of free internal memory. Try it for those who needs the help files.
