As I Have “Loved” You
“A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also love one another.” (John 13:34 WEB)
Does Jesus still love us today? Yes of course, His love endures forever and nothing will separate us from the love of God.
Then why did Jesus use the past tense “loved” in the verse above?
I believe it is because He wants us to see Him loving us in a specific way that He accomplished in the past. Not just imagining that He loves us, but based on an event that happened.
For everyone reading these words throughout time, they can look back to the time when Jesus died for them on the cross. They can read about it in the four gospels.
This is how He loved us. He loved us with arms stretched wide, nailed upon the cross.
His back was lacerated by the scourging He endured before being crucified, and in the spirit realm, invisible to the eyes of men, He was burnt by the fiery wrath of God for sins. It was like being tortured in Hell with the most intense level of pain for those hours that He hung alive at the cross.
Anytime you are disappointed or discouraged by circumstances and feel like God has abandoned you to suffer, look back to how Jesus loved you at the cross.
If Abba God gave His only begotten Son who He loves so dearly to die for us at the cross and pay the ultimate price for sins, while we were still enemies who didn’t care about God at all, there is absolutely no way that He will abandon you or stop loving you today.
Our confidence in God’s love for us is not based on a feeling, but based on a true demonstration.
“For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. And not only that, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.” (Romans 5:6-11 NKJV)
Jesus carried your sins and diseases at the cross even though He was perfect and did no wrong, and He suffered great agony before He gave up His spirit. Nothing the devil throws at you can ever change this truth.
Words really fail to accurately and precisely describe what Jesus went through for us. If could feel just one minute of what He suffered at the cross, we would truly be grateful to Him.
Imagine being pierced, lacerated, and bruised all over your body, all the darkness of the sins of the world entering you, and being burnt with hellfire at the level meant for the worst sinner.
Thank You Jesus for suffering those six hours on the cross. People can die from one moment of getting hit by a car—think about that. Even just one second of the pain and despair of the cross would wreck us. Lord Jesus, we give You all the glory, the honor, and believe that Your love for us endures forever.

《作文考試要高分,要取中庸之道》
✴️ 有興趣看我寫的其他文章,緊記在 Medium 上 Follow 我,多給Claps,支持我繼續寫作!✴️
有同學同我講:老師鍾唔鐘意我篇作文,我控制唔到。作文測驗同考試,高唔高分都係睇彩數!
我以一個問題回應:你有冇發現,有啲同學,作文永遠都咁高分?
同學:有啊!有啊!
我:唔通真係佢keep住咁好彩?
(同學猶豫)
我繼續講:你地想唔想呢啲同學點樣做到?不如我地一起brainstorm下點作文研究下?
作文要同學仔寫信比朋友,寫自己既近況,有同學提議:不如寫學校最近添置咗啲新設施?
我話:可以呀,我諗你應該記得設施點寫的。
同學:facilities!
我:好好呀!咁你想講咩設施呢?
同學:library!
我:okay丫!咁添置咗library咁點呢?
同學:可唔可以講library裝修咗,添置咗好多新書?
我:嗯,但以我所知,你地暫時好似未識得講裝修住啵,Miss Tiffany依家可以教你講,不過到時考緊試個陣,Miss Tiffany唔會係你身邊,咁點算啊?
同學話:咁我不如就咁話:School has new library, I feel happy 啦。
我笑一笑,說:老師見到個個同學都用happy,你覺得老師見到你寫happy會唔會happy?
同學笑了。
我續說:Happy呢d字,同good同bad同sad一樣啊,十個同學有九個,都好鍾意濫用佢地架!你地寫呢啲字,老師就會覺得你好冇心思對待英文,求求其其做架啦~。
同學不知如何是好。
我:其實裝修的英文,其中一個講法是renovation,不過識唔識呢個字,可能係A同A+既分別,要拿到B+的成績,或者你地可以試下咁樣寫:There is a new library at our school, so I can read so many more books now. I've found books I have never read at home before. I enjoy visiting the library during the recesses every day. To my excitement, I even found my favourite book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory there!
(如果堂上時間許可,老師當然最好唔好直接比個答案同學,反而應該試下一句一句咁引導同學諗出黎。)
事實上,小五的同學能寫成這樣已經相當難得,懂得用simple present tens、simple past tense和present perfect tense,enjoy後面懂得加gerund,懂得用there is,不是用the school has,懂得用連接詞so連接字句。詞彙雖然不算特頂豐富,但準確度高,老師理應會給高分了。
其實,作文要作得好,不外乎就係要用一個思考方式:意念方面,要有創意,但又唔可以有創意到離曬地,唔合理;要盡用接觸過的語文知識、句式同詞彙,但唔可以不自量力,夾硬寫啲自己寫唔到既野,適度的簡化是好的。表現自己的語文功架,不一定要使用words(字彙),還可以使用phrases(短語)同grammar items(文法知識):introductory it啊,一些特別的tenses啊,modal verbs啊,等等。
所以要作好一篇文章,不是要寫得有咁複雜得咁複雜,太複雜唔單止自己會唔識得寫,而且仲有機會寫唔切!但又唔可以hea寫,寫happy同sad呢啲冇經過大腦既野。
內容方面,一定創意要有,但要合情理,不可天馬行空到令故事難以置信。
用語方面,寫人人都寫既,一定唔會高分;但故作高深也不行,老師希望你做到的,就是把平日接觸到的英文吸收,然後自然而恰當的表現出來。

Sự hòa hợp giữa chủ ngữ và động từ
Nguyên tắc chung: Chủ ngữ số ít thì hòa hợp với động từ số ít, chủ ngữ số nhiều thì hợp với động từ số nhiều.
VD: English is an important language.
A great many people are involved in the use of English.
Tuy nhiên, đôi khi chủ ngữ còn hòa hợp với động từ tùy theo ý tưởng diễn đạt hoặc danh từ/đại từ đứng trước theo các quy tắc sau:
QUY TẮC I:
Hai danh từ/đại từ số ít, nối liền bởi “and” thì phải theo sau bởi 1 động từ số nhiều:
She and I are friends.
Linh and her friend are going to the library.
Nếu hai danh từ diễn đạt cùng 1 ý/1 sự kiện thì động từ chỉ là số ít. VD: The lecture and author is coming to the stage.
QUY TẮC II:
Hai danh từ/đại từ được nối bởi “with”, “as well as”, “together with”, “along with” thì động từ phải hòa hợp với danh từ đầu tiên thứ nhất:
Dương with her friends is very tired.
His friends together with Nam are going on holiday in Ha Long Bay.
QUY TẮC III:
Danh từ số ít đứng sau “each”, “every” hay danh từ số nhiều/đại từ số nhiều đứng sau “each of” đều hợp với động từ số ít:
Each boy and girl has an English dictionary.
Each of us gets a tin of coke.
QUY TẮC IV: Hai danh từ/đại từ được nối bằng “or/not”, “either…or/neither…nor”, “not only…but also” thì động từ phải hợp với “S” gần nhất:
Either you or your husband is going to the meeting.
Neither I nor you are young.
QUY TẮC V:
1.A number of nouns + verbs:
A number of workers are on strike.
2.The number of nouns + verb (số ít):
(Vì 1 số danh từ, tuy có hình thức số nhiều (s) nhưng ngụ ý là số ít, nên chỉ hợp với động từ số ít):
+ Danh từ chỉ bệnh tật như: meals, mumps, herpes, rickets (còi xương).
+ Danh từ chỉ môn học (academic subjects) như: physics, economics, linguistics, mathematics, statistics…
+ Danh từ chỉ địa danh như: Athens, Algiers, The United States, The Philippines, Brussels…
VD: The number of meals has raised, especially in the crowded population areas.
+ Trong một số danh từ tập hợp, cụm từ định lượng, việc sử dụng động từ số ít/số nhiều đôi khi tùy thuộc vào ý người nói muốn nhấn mạnh đến một tổng thể hay các bộ phận cấu thành tổng thể đó.
VD: The number of students who have withdrawn from class this quarter is appalling (dễ sợ).
Dart is/are often played in pubs. (dart = 1 mũi phi tiêu/ darts: trò chơi ném phi tiêu)
QUY TẮC VI: Danh từ chủ ngữ chỉ thời gian, tiền bạc, khoảng cách, trọng lượng thì hợp với động từ số ít, VD:
Twenty dollars is too much for that shirt.
Ten tons of rubber is exported to Japan.
Two years is long enough for them to separate from each other.
Five kilometers is too far to walk.
QUY TẮC VII:
1.Phần trăm (percentages), phân số (fractions)
Phần trăm/phân số + of + uncountable noun + verb (số ít), VD:
Sixty percent of waste paper is recycled.
Three quarter of the world’s population lives in bad living condition.
2.Phần trăm, phân số + of + plural noun + verbs:
Half of the students in this class come from the country.
Less than fifty percent of students are bad at foreign language.
QUY TẮC VIII: Gerunds hay infinitives làm chủ ngữ đều hợp với động từ số ít:
Smoking is bad for health.
To live is to struggle.
QUY TẮC IX: Hợp thì với adverbial clause of time.
1.Adverbial clause of time được bắt đầu với connectors:
When/as (khi), before/after, by the time = before, while, whenever, as soon as (ngay khi), as long as (chừng nào mà/cho đến khi), till, until = just as (cho đến khi), since, no sooner …than = vừa mới thì đã = hardly…when.
2.Thì của động từ trong các mệnh đề phải phù hợp với nhau và phù hợp với nghĩa của connector, VD:
Until I lived in Vietnam, I had never known hot weather.
+ had know = past perfect à xảy rea trước lived
+ từ until = giải thích rõ điểm mốc thời gian: đến tận khi, do vậy tình huống had never know và lived phù hợp logic với nghĩa của connector until.
3.While thường dùng với continuous tense:
While I was walking down the street, I saw Maily driving a Toyota.
4.Adv. Clause of time không dùng thì tương lai:
I’ll remember that day as long as I live (không dùng as long as I’ll live). I’ll tell you that when you come
