DER WEG NACH HAUSE (1. Petrus 3:18) German

First Peter 3:18

Heimweh ist eine schlimme Sache, eine schlimme Krankheit. So habe ich es gelesen. Und so viel ich weiss, gibt es nur eine Medizin. Man muss nach Hause fahren.

Ich spreche da natuerlich von unserem irdischen zu Hause, wenn man sein Elternhaus verlaesst und zum Beispiel in einem anderen Land zum Studium ist.

Ich selbst habe nie Heimweh nach meiner irdische Heimat gehabt und so kann ich da nicht mitreden. Aber ich habe Heimweh nach meiner himmlischen Heimat. Mein Gebet ist es auch, dass Sie Heimweh bekommen nach der himmlischen Heimat.

Auf einem Kalenderblatt las ich heute: Denn es hat ja Christus einmal fuer Suenden gelitten, der Gerechte fuer die Ungerechten, damit er uns zu Gott fuehre. 1. Petrus 3,18.

Ein herrlicher Vers. Er zeigt uns ganz einfach den Weg zur himmlischen Heimat. Seien wir doch eimal ganz ehrlich und geben zu, dass wir Suender sind! Gott ist heilig und wir benoetigen Hilfe, um vor ihm bestehen zu koennen. Ein Gerechter ist fuer die Ungerechten gestorben. Das ist der Herr Jesus Christus. Wo wir sein muessten, da ist er gewesen. Er hat fuer uns gelitten

Lasst uns ihm dafuer danken, dass ER uns so sehr geliebt hat. Johannes 3,16 ( John 3:16)

For in the day of trouble:

1. He will keep me save in his dwelling.

3. AND SET ME HIGH UPON A ROCK.

PERSISTENCE

Yesterday I saw a picture hanging on the wall with the following message:” CHANCE is always powerful. Let your hook always be cast. In the pool where you least expect it will be a fish.

I looked up the word chance in the dictionary!

Born again believers are trusting in the all powerful Creator of Heaven and Earth!

Confusion

An Email received only yesterday confirmed what I have known for a long time.

There is a lot of confusion about:

1. Inspiration of the Scriptures– Second Timothy 3:16/Second Peter 1:21

2. Eternal Security of the Believer– Romans 8:38,39

Is the cause lack of teaching? Are the teachers (pastors) also confused?

Commitment

The EOS Business School is also talking about commitment. They are going so far and say that my life and my future is their commitment. They want me to stand out from the crowd with recognised computerskills.

Quantum Learning says the same. They are advertising the culinary Institute of NZ. They want me to become part of the exciting world of global cuisine.

Commitment is a big word in the business world. It should also be a big word for us Christians. But is it?

Are we committed to our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ?

Handbook for the Electric Shaver?

Today I picked up the ordered new foil for my electric shaver (Braun). I was so pleased that spare parts are still available for the very old shaver. It is easy to change the foil. But I asked the sales lady if they woul help me to take the shaver apart if need be. She said, ” Yes, but your hand book for the razor tells you how to do it.” My answer was,” The shaver is so old, I do not know where the hand book is.”

THE BIBLE IS THE HAND BOOK FOR OUR LIFE! DO YOU HAVE ONE? DO YOU KNOW WHERE IT IS?

Difficult Bibleverses and Biblepassages

Luke 18:25—This morning I came to Luke 18:25 where it talks about ” THE NEEDLE’S EYE”. What does that mean? –Fortunately I have a book where different passages of the BIBLE, which are difficult to understand, are explained. My wife found it in a second hand shop. I think it was some years ago in Kawakawa. I have actually picked up quite a number of good books in second hand shops!

There was a large door. But a smaller door was fixed into the larger one. This smaller door was called the “needle’s eye.”
