3. sunday in Advent
Lukas 1, 67 - 80
His father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied: "Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, because he has come and has redeemed his people. He has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David (as he said through his holy prophets of long ago), salvation from our enemies and from the hand of all who hate us-- to show mercy to our fathers and to remember his holy covenant, the oath he swore to our father Abraham: to rescue us from the hand of our enemies, and to enable us to serve him without fear in holiness and righteousness before him all our days. And you, my child, will be called a prophet of the Most High; for you will go on before the Lord to prepare the way for him, to give his people the knowledge of salvation through the forgiveness of their sins, because of the tender mercy of our God, by which the rising sun will come to us from heaven to shine on those living in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the path of peace. "
And the child grew and became strong in spirit; and he lived in the desert until he appeared publicly to Israel.
Comment:
Now the time is near when Crist is born. He is born every year at this time and he will continue to be born at this time of the year.
And there will be people talking to us that a savior will be born again and again for there is no limits of Gods Love.
This time of the year is so hard for those sitting in loneliness and they have to escape from all the power of material christmas. The real christmas is that a savior is born and we can be happy again. We can believe that nothing of what happens to us is against Gods will. That all we feel is a torture, from the Gods point of view is a gift.
We cannot understand it. We have nothing to fear.
Love is the greatest power in earth.
Thats the thruth. Love is the greatest power on earth. And when we do not have love we have nothing. It is hard to believe that we have love when we are alone, and we do not know if its the thruth. But we have to believe that the Love from God is a reality even when the world is showing something else.
Believe in Love. Continue to believe. And dont ask for what Jesus can do for you but what you can do for Jesus.
Jesus gave his life for us and we can praise him for that gift. We are free.
The devil is dead. He has no power even if we look at the world at see all the evel that is going on.
The power of God is stronger than the power of Satan and the will of God is stronger than the will of man.
The fact is that we are loved by God and try to find a verse, a song about Gods love and pray by singing a gospel for God.
He have taken away our sins and we are still sinners. But God have come to rescue the poor the sinner, the man who have no friends. One friend have we all. Jesus. Jesus is our brother and he walks in front of us in our whole life. He is inside us and inside all living on earth.
Life is a unit and we deserve to be loved and to be happy.
We are a unit all of us living on the earth. Thats so great that we can not understand it. But there will be one King and thats our Lord Jesus.
He shall reign for ever and ever.
Pray to God if you are alone.
If you dont believe in God then pray: If you are there then help me God.
