I was fascinated when first I heard about the module on the story of Jesus and
I said to myself this is very good. Actually the stories were quite ordinary as they tell the day to day activities of Jesus which were simple yet very profound.
This person whom they called Lord is very rich yet appearing and living very poor.
I could not imagine how he was able to do what he did without any difficulty since
most kings here on earth would not relinquish their prestigious positions to become
Poor like he did.
I am not a king but there are moments in my life I become like a king for the things I
do and for the instructions I give to others, being authoritative as king. I am humbled
for the very fact that there is someone greater than I who has taken the lowest
position in our context as a human being.
Again Jesus the Son of God is acculturated to our human society thus giving a sense of hope to the human race. This means he was born into a family which is measured by the standards of his time as a middle class family. But today we say that he is poor. Perhaps He is poor because of our sake. And to those of us who are poor he is our sense of hope.
To those of us who are rich it is our sense of sharing wealth with others.
The stories remain the source and inspiration to many people for many generations till today.
Many have walked the face of the earth to tell the story and have lost their lives only to gain martyrdom.
They continue to tell the story of Jesus.
The four gospel writers have done very well to tell us the story of Jesus so we have a record of events and that helps us to know him better not once but all the time. The gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke seem to tell the story in one way while John takes on the story in another style. But I am rather interested in their
terms of discussion…the nativity narratives and the passion narratives and of the ministry narratives.
Just as others who have gone before me, I would like to see that the Jesus story is told to others as I am convinced that they too will tell the story in the years to come. What I have heard is the story of God’s mission which will live on till the end of time. I am inclined to extend their efforts in telling this story as I will move on from here and beyond…. Euntes…Go…Reach out!










I am challenged to really understand the meaning of the Gospel and the culture where I am being sent to minister to the people.
As I return to my local context with new eyes I am urged to study in a deeper manner the culture of my people and the story of Jesus. Together with them we will strive to develop a process that will make sense to the Christian community in Myanmar.
