"...the resurrection is not merely a happy ending. It is a confirmation that the future belongs to just the kind of love Jesus enacted on the cross."
MV in the new book: "Glimmerings. Letters of Faith Between a Poet and a Theologian", by Miroslav Volf & Christian Wiman.
So one of these dimensions is his endurance; his love will never come to an end (its length). That was proven in his endurance even to the cross...
Thinking of how it was for Jesus to live under the shadow of the cross, all the way since he became aware of his destiny. Especially from the point when he began the last journey up to Jerusalem with his disciples. And how he could be so present and caring while knowing it all...
Today's message is about the one and only King, the one who reigns in selfgiving love, humility and justice...
In him all people will be united and set free. And of his kingdom there will be no end.
Come soon, Lord Jesus!
When a picture says more than thousands words...
The eternal rest is not inactivity but absence of evil. Hence no more influence from it and no battle against it. Only rejoicing in God's presence, beauty and creativity... Amd joining in what he will be doing...
How come there is always money for war??
Is Trump prepared to welcome refugees if chaos follows in Iran?
The 86 years old leader became a "martyr". Now can some younger man with even more capacity for evil take his place. Like Ali Larijani...
"We do not and cannot become holy through will-power, assuming control over ourselves. We simply have to let God be God." Chris EW Green:

Paul in Phil 1:6:
"I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ."
It is a *very* good thing that his work actually has begun. Now we just need some patience and trust...
When already the introduction lifts you up...
Reading Thiselton: Life after Death. A New Aproach to the Last Things:
To receive justification by faith is to acknowledge that my source of spiritual life is not myself, but God in Christ through his death & resurrection.
To insist on my own righteousness is to cut myself off from the source of life.
To live in faith is to live at the well of life.
A room in the new part of White House could be dedicated to all prizes and trophies people will be sending to him in coming days...
About -12° Celsius. My neighbour catched this northern lights from her window last night.
Welcome to my home in Narnia, today!
It's in my book-cue, waiting to be read. I enjoyed Broken Bonds. (That was an odd sentence...)
So Miller, Trump and the rest want Greenland, to be able to protect Nato...
If Christ's two natures (human & divine) can't be divided (which I think is true), can we then say that he experiences as *God* how it is to be human, and as a *human* how it is to be God? Am I right?
Today life is a parenthesis
in the world of death.
One day death will be seen
as a parenthesis
in the world of life!
Isaiah 25:8
Would love to walk there!
What a good book!
Just finished the first chapter, "Welcome to Sheol"...
Trump deported Iranian Christians with open asylum claims for religious persecution four weeks ago.
He expelled other Iranian Christians, including children, to Panama in February.
It’s like watching a gorilla break a Stradivarius violin after discovering it doesn’t taste good.
Don't usually bring that... ;-)
I always have tissues in my bag... :-)
