Discipleship in an Instant World: We Have Escaped

This week, in the hustle of Hong Kong's vibrant streets, amidst the towering skyscrapers and the relentless pursuit of success, we've found a moment of profound liberation. Matthew 13:44 reminds us that, "The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which someone found and hid; then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.” And here, In a city that never sleeps, where the race for more can be all-consuming, we've discovered that true wealth isn't found in the material, but in the spiritual treasures that await us. We are not alone in our discipleship journey. Together, we have escaped the fleeting and embraced the everlasting. Let's continue to seek the hidden treasures in our lives and in our city.

This Week's Scripture:
// Psalm 124 //
Thanksgiving for Israel’s Deliverance
A Song of Ascents. Of David.
If it had not been the LORD who was on our side
    —let Israel now say—
if it had not been the LORD who was on our side,
    when our enemies attacked us,
then they would have swallowed us up alive,
    when their anger was kindled against us;
then the flood would have swept us away,
    the torrent would have gone over us;
then over us would have gone
    the raging waters.

Blessed be the LORD,
    who has not given us
    as prey to their teeth.
We have escaped like a bird
    from the snare of the fowlers;
the snare is broken,
    and we have escaped.

Our help is in the name of the LORD,
    who made heaven and earth.
