Not sure where we left off but Tuesday morning Cindy led a Bible Study for women using the story of the Samaritan woman in John 4. In the afternoon we saw a few sights in Kandy. Tuesday evening we were truly blessed to go to Pri's home where he lives with his mom & dad. Wonderful meal. Really wonderful people.

This AM we were at Lanka Bible College to speak at their chapel. And then this afternoon at the "Elephant Orphanage" ... yes, an orphanage for elephants. Truly fascinating. Had the opportunity (first & last) to ride on an elephant.

Here's the outline from the chapel message. I put it here because it was such a feast for meditationn and worship of the Lord Jesus Christ for what He did for us and it's continuing effect today.

The topic was Jesus' words from the cross, "It Is Finished", asking the questiion, "What was finished?" 7 points.
1 He finished His Father's work (John 4:34; 17:4; 19:28; Acts 2:23)
2 He fulfilled all the prophecies of the suffering of the Savior (Gen 3:15; Ps 22; Isa 53, etc)
3 He He fulfilled all the types (e.g. Isaacs birth, Gen 21; "death", Gen 22; marriage, Gen 24).
4 He fulfilled the law (Matt 5:17-18; Rom 8:3-4; 10:4; Dan 9:24)
5 He completed redemption (Psa 49:7-9,15; Heb 9:12; Ezek 18:4; Heb 2:9)
6 He completely satisfied divine justice (Isa 53:4,10; Rom 3:25)
7 He finished loving His own (John 13:1)
