When the rescuers found her, she had died,
killed by the house that collapsed.
She died in a very unusual posture.
She was kneeling on the floor, the whole upper body stretched forward
with her arms supporting her whole body.
The posture looked like the kneeling Koutou etiquette in ancient China,
but her body was completely distorted by the pressure.
When people cleared away the rubble around her,
they found a baby was lying underneath her body,
wrapped up in a small red blanket with golden patterns.
The baby was about 3, 4 months old.
Because of the protection from his mother’s body,
he was still peacefully asleep when found.
The rescuing doctor found a mobile phone inside the blanket,
and on the screen of the phone,
there was a message
‘My darling baby, if you survive, please remember I love you’.


last weekend we sang the song
the song that never fails to make my heart really OVERFLOW with thanks,
im grateful to the Lord for His steadfast love for such a person as i

when people read about the many tragedies of the Sichuen earthquake
they feel for the victims
and praise so highly those who made sacrifices
the mother who was selfless to provide
the mother who gave her life




Theres no Greater Love than this
- that a Man would give his life



many feel the magnitude of the love the mother had for her baby
definitely, you think, the little baby would grow up
developing such a depth of love for his mother
appreciating what he has done for him
she gave her life!
her love
there really was nothing more she could give up for him

and to think,
God gave his Son!
He endured the cross
the cross!
SOLELY on 3 puny cruel nails
imagine the amount of excruciating pain,
the amount of scorn
all that
for you.

and here we are
sinful humans
rejecting this love
DONT WANT IT?




theres no greater love than this
theres no greater love than this
that a man would give his life
for a friend
theres no higher sacrifice
that a man would give his life

you have paid the precious price for me
