Jesus came not to establish a political kingdom but to fulfill God’s plan of salvation by giving His life as a ransom for many (Matthew 20:28). Despite the disciples’ misunderstanding, He remained resolute in His path to the cross and resurrection, the only means of salvation and proof of God’s immense love.
Chaplain shared a devotion based on James 1:22, emphasizing the importance of being a 'doer of the word' rather than just a 'hearer'.
He warned against the danger of building one's faith on sand, likening it to a sandcastle that collapses under the waves of life's challenges. He urged the congregation to evaluate their service and surrender to Christ, rather than just following a routine of religion.
Chaplain also encouraged the congregation to pray for guidance on where they need to surrender fully to Christ. He ended the devotion by asking if they were living as Christians, obeying God's word, and if not, to seek God's help in making a change.
