General Elections 2006

In consideration of the Zeitgeist, I thought it might be quite fun to comment on the 'hottest' topic at the moment.

General Elections are due to take place tomorrow in Singapore. Who will you vote for?
To get the full stories of events leading up to the Polling Day tomorrow, well, you won't find them here. (Go read the newspapers since this is not a political blog)

In any case, this is the first time in all my years, that the elections have been successful in obtaining a slight interest from my person. Then I figured I'm not that old yet :) Yay!
The political crossfire between Big Brother, the wannabes and the great pretenders have occupied the frontpages for weeks. It all ends tomorrow.


But somewhere, some place, in ages far beyond our grasp, someone had already been elected. His mission and manifesto was simple :
To provide Peace, Salvation and Hope to His own elect.

God chose His own Son to come to the earth, to lead the lost sheep - His chosen people - back to His fold. That vote of confidence was cast so that we might be reconciled with God.

"Behold! My Servant whom I uphold, My Elect One in whom My soul delights! I have put my Spirit upon Him; He will bring forth justice to the Gentiles." - Isaiah 42 : 1

Oh yes, we suddenly remember that we were chosen by grace, not of our own merit. Despite not being the initial heirs, we have been promised an inheritance far greater than lift upgradings or Progress Package payouts. Consider for a moment the blessings we have received and the future hope of Glory.

How curious it is that the Elected One of God has elected us to be Joint Heirs with Him. He had chosen us, right from the Beginning.

In the perrenial Spiritual Elections, you have a choice too.
Who gets your vote?
