Chocolate is like humanity…
There is dark chocolate, white chocolate, milk chocolate, and a spectrum between…
Has a dark chocolate ever been white? Or a white chocolate dark? Yet all are chocolate, and that’s why I like them all.
The Heart of Christianity.
What is the heart of Christianity?
‘For God so loved the World that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.’ John 3:16 NIV.
What to gain from this very sigificant verse from the Bible?
1) God. He’s here.…
2) He loved the world enough to send his son into it, even though he knew he would be crucified by the ones he was trying to save.
3) There is a spiritual death.
4) There is a way to spiritual life, through faith: belief and trust in Christ.
Don’t be afraid.
“Do not be afraid for your lives here.
Who by worrying can add even one hair to his head?”
What person, through fear, can truly find peace?
What nation, through fear, can truly win freedom?
If we let go of our lives, we can begin to truly find them.
If we release our grip on our own self-defence, we can begin to find true security: for ourselves, for our enemies, and for all of humanity.
Don’t act out of fear: act out of what is right for all.
Sometimes what is right takes sacrifice.
Sometimes what is right takes courage.
It takes courage to take a hit to preserve our enemy.
It takes courage to turn the other cheek.
Have courage.
Love your enemy.
