Hatred and rabble-rousing - The whole world is going nuts

 Hatred and rabble-rousing

(2405210543-0554)

 

I can hardly believe

how fast our world is changing

through hatred and rabble-rousing.

 

Haven’t we learned anything

from the propaganda

in the 3. Reich?

Why do the

overwhelming amount of media

all play along?

 

Are we willing to sacrifice

everything that we have built up

in the past 70 years

for the sake of

hatred and rabble-rousing???

 

How dumb did our world get

that it is willing to dance

to the music

of a few loud screamers?

 

What came of fact checking?

What happened to objectivity?

It seems that we are being

systematically brainwashed

in the name of freedom of speech.

 

Hatred and rabble-rousing

on our streets,

in our media

and in the mouths.

Unfortunately

more and more politicians

and even many churches

let themselves

be manipulated.

 

Lies are being believed,

emotions go wild

violence spreads.

 

How can that be?

What happened to our

common sense?

 

People are being judged

and condemned

for matters

that they cannot influence.

Character and facts

do not count anymore.

Good is called bad

and bad is called good.

 

Who has turned

our entire world

upside down so quickly?

Voluntarily - Jesus lays down his life voluntarily in order to save mine

 

Voluntarily

(0204211946-1957,0304211749-1809)

 

Voluntarily you surrendered yourself.

Voluntarily you went through this ordeal.

Voluntarily you let yourself be interrogated and tortured.

Voluntarily you died on my behalf.

 

All, because you had a goal in mind.

All, because my salvation

from the power of sin and death

was worth it to you.

 

Voluntarily you went down

to the realm of the dead

because only you were capable

to snatch the keys of death from the devil.

 

Voluntarily you took all of that

upon yourself

because you love me endlessly

and don’t want

to see all of humanity lost.

 

Jesus only you are the bridge to the father.

Only you could restore

the broken relationship to HIM.

 

Thank you for all that you have done for me.

Thank you for your endless love towards me.

Thank you that no path was too difficult for you.

Thank you for your sacrifice that you provided

once and for all.

Voluntarily and out of love for me.

Thank you.

Easter during Corona times - Reason for joy besides restrictions

Easter during Corona times

(3103210952-1015,0204210806-0830)

 

Already the second year in a row

we have to celebrate Easter

under government restrictions

due to the Corona virus.

 

Fear and loneliness

dominate the day of many

who would usually be  joyful

and get together with the extended family.

 

Never the less

we want to reflect

upon the Easter happening

even if we have to lay aside

many of our traditions.

 

Sorrow and joy

are so close together at Easter

like on no other holiday.

 

The murder of the Creator

by his creation on Good Friday

was the biggest triumph

of the adversary.

He believed

that he will be the only ruler

of this world from now on.

But he had forgotten,

that the Creator is bigger than death

and pursues his goal

with sorrow, misery

and even death.

 

The victory came early on Sunday morning.

Jesus rose from the dead

yes he lives!

He has conquered the power

over sin and death victoriously.

No human would have been able

to accomplish that.

 

As the replacement for you and me

did Jesus take on the sorrow and death

on Good Friday

so that we can have fellowship with the father.

This has been massively disturbed

ever since the fall of mankind.

 

The reward for the sin of man is death

and this is what Jesus took upon himself

as you and my representative.

 

On Good Friday we receive forgiveness

and on Easter Sunday eternal life

was given to us.

 

Let us receive this gift

and not forget the reason

of true joy

in times of Corona!

Christmas different for a change - Christmas 2020


 Christmas different for a change

(0212202022-2040,1412201105-1126)

 

Silent and lonely

abandoned and quiet.

None of us

would have imagined

Christmas to be like it

this year.

 

No Christmas markets,

no hustle and bustle in the shops

no stress while preparing

large family parties.

 

Everything is different than usual.

 

But was is not similar

for the first Christmas?

A young Jewish woman gave birth

to the Savior of the world

away from all the hustle

lonely in a stable

far away from family

and any support.

 

Everything was different

everything was unusual

and everything was not hoped for

the way it was.

 

Here too

the government set up regulations

that the people did not like.

 

And the young couple

had no means or possibilities

to improve the arrival

of the Savior of the world.

 

Perhaps this time

should serve us

as a memorandum this year?

Perhaps it is time

to think about

the essential during Christmas?

Perhaps the Savior of the world

wants to touch your heart

all anew this year

in all the loneliness and silence?
