Precious Lesson

During our Singapore trip, an interesting incident happened during the bus journey from Dolphin Lagoon back to Fort Siloso at Sentosa Island. The bus was packed with passengers who just finished watching the 1:30pm Dolphin show. We were some of the early ones entering the bus, found our seat and ready to go. Then came a huge group of tourists entering the bus, most of them had to stand as there were no more seats left. An elderly Indian lady was standing beside Jordan, being a kind-hearted boy, Jordan offered his seat to this lady, she insisted to share the seat with Jordan. So, Jordan sat on one quarter of the seat, glued to the window,and the slightly obese lady squeezed herself into the seat and of course onto Jordan. We thought everything went well until after we got down from the bus at Fort Siloso, Jordan was quite upset as he found his pants all wet on the right side, due to the wet sari of the Indian lady.
He was distraught on the cable car journey back from Sentosa as he was embarrassed about his wet pants. As we went on to Vivo City for our meals, I felt God was teaching all of us a lesson here, so I told Jordan, sometimes it cost us something when we do good, just like how it cost God His only Son. Jesus came to save us, that we may have eternal life, It's costly, but for a worthy cause, to save you and me from eternal death. As we pondered about the truth of God's word, we realised then that Easter was just round the corner, and we have all the reasons to rejoice, because our Savior lives !! And Jordan smiles again!
What a precious lesson to learn.
