uncovering - the UNCOVER London Mission - Part 1

Sophie's Clicks
Being in Essex (in South East England), which is something new for me is very exciting as it is a whole world apart when compared to the monotonous and really busy life of a Londoner. But I am here at Mile End 4 days a week, and have the urge to meet new people and be a witness for Christ everywhere I am. Its been four months since I am in UK and from the very first week of university, I have been involved with a group of friendly Christians who have not only been supportive but also really nice people.

In fact, I am the only Indian among the MSc program and although there are a few Christians in my course, I have not been able to talk about my love for Jesus to them. Now, this is compensated by the Queen Mary Christian Union and the lively bunch of programs we had so far. There was the Christmas carols and lovely talks on Creation, Relationship with Jesus, and a lot of wonderful study groups. Now, recently we had met for a project called uncover.


So what was/ is uncover? 


The Christian Union over the last year had done some nice surveys on what would people ask God? or how would they react to seeing Jesus here today? and what is your favourite film? The top choices in London were

* Lord of the Rings (Triology)
* The Shawshank Redemption
* Inception

Now what the UCCF had done was bring into light these films and help to strike a very good conversational topic that got a lot of students in London talking about it and we had a great speaker. Krish, as they call him, was splendid, he gave such wonderful analogies and made some topics very brilliantly crystal clear. the next post is on Karma with a great analogy by Krish

The Nativity - by Gari Melchers

This could be my first ever critique of art that I have ever written and that is because it is only recently art has captured my interest as much as this work. This write up is made both in English and German as I want to practice my German.  'The Nativity' by Gari Melchers.  I am not an art expert and my critique is from a layman's point of view, but bear with me. I have tried reading some information about the art and the culture behind it and I have my two favourite blog posts about the same work and yes,  I have shamelessly copied some of their thoughts. Woebegone but Hopeful and other is by Lisa VO . Julius Garibaldi Melchers (August 11, 1860 – November 30, 1932) was an American artist. He was one of the leading American proponents of naturalism. He won a 1932 Gold medal from the American Academy of Arts and Letters.[1] - Wikipedia The Nativity is painted during the peak of realism movement - in a gritty and less idealised ma...

The Ultimate Claim to Glory

During a recent worship service, a thought struck me while singing about giving glory to Jesus. I wondered if it would be appropriate to ask for glory or to claim it for oneself. This idea felt blasphemous, as it seemed to imply that one could steal or exceed God's glory. History is filled with examples of kings and rulers who sought such glory, only to end up as dust and bones. But then I realized that even Jesus, in his prayer to the Father, asked for glory: 'Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had with you before the world existed' (John 17:5). How could Jesus, being fully God, ask for glory? The Chalcedonian and Nicene Creeds affirms the answer as said in the verse "He (Jesus), Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage, (Philippians 2:6)". They affirm that Jesus, though fully God, did not cling to his divine equality but humbled himself. He is the only one who truly des...
