Darkest Night, Brightest Dawn: A Lent Reflection

He who said "I AM THE LIGHT" embraced the utmost darkness of humanity; He who claimed "I AM THE TRUTH" stood accused; He who announced "I AM THE LIVING WATER" became thirsty; He who proclaimed "I AM THE RESURRECTION" entered death; He who promised "I WILL PREPARE A PLACE FOR YOU" was buried in a tomb; And he calls us to leave everything behind and follow him? Dr. Philip Yeung leads us in a moving and radical journey of Jesus during the Holy Week, from the darkest hour at the hands of the betrayer to the brightest dawn at the empty tomb, and examines how unexpected details highlighted by the Gospel authors open our eyes to the unimaginable depth and length of God's love for us.

Rev. Dr. Philip Yeung (Yeung Sek Cheung) was raised in Hong Kong and trained as a medical doctor at the University of Hong Kong. Five years into his practice, he believed God called him to leave his profession to serve in theological education in Hong Kong. After graduating from Regent College, Canada, he devoted the next 40 years of his life to teaching at China Graduate School of Theology, where he specialized in the teaching of biblical languages, the books of Genesis, Job and Ecclesiastes, as well as homiletics and pastoral care. His medical training, his proficiency in both Biblical Hebrew and Greek, and his journey in discovering God's calling, all equipped him with insights into stories in the Bible as well as the ability to dissect them and help his students apply them in modern life.
