We thank God that the MRT service has been restored between Bouna Vista and Jurong East. Indeed, it is a blessing to see normalcy return to transportation in Singapore.
However, our hearts are heavy concerning the Indian man awaiting the death penalty. The Bible tells us, "For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord" (Romans 6:23, WEB). While the earthly consequences of actions can be severe, there is hope for eternal forgiveness and salvation through Jesus Christ.
We pray fervently for this man, that he may come to know the saving grace of Jesus Christ. May he repent and turn to God, seeking forgiveness and salvation. We pray that God will comfort and strengthen him during this difficult time. "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (1 John 1:9, WEB).
Let us also pray for the families of both the victim and the convicted man. May they find comfort and peace in God during this trying time. "Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28, WEB).
Lastly, we pray for the authorities and the justice system in Singapore, that they may carry out their duties with wisdom and discernment. "When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; but when the wicked man rules, the people groan" (Proverbs 29:2, WEB).
In all things, let us remember to approach God in prayer through the name of Jesus Christ, for it is in His name that we have access to the Father. "In that day you will no longer ask me anything. Most certainly I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you" (John 16:23, WEB).
Join us in praying for all those affected by this tragic incident, that they may find comfort and hope in Jesus Christ.
