Eternal life is of a completely different caliber
Around 100 people gathered in St. Peter’s Church in Leidringen on Saturday morning. The church was built in 1150 on the foundations of an old Roman villa. A church service is about to begin at this historic site. The band plays a few hits from the field of modern worship music and a German-Peruvian climbs to the pulpit. He talks about the 6th chapter of the Gospel of John. At that time, many followers of Christ turned away from him, but the 12 disciples remained faithful to him. Peter had said in justification: “Where should we go, only You have words of eternal life!”
In his remarks, the missionary doctor describes the Christian faith as “the” hope of resurrection since antiquity. The magazine Focus once ran the headline “Live 10 years longer”, and the report gave tips on how to gain time through a healthy diet, sport and a balanced lifestyle. But Dr. John is not satisfied with this result. He says: “Dear congregation, I want to be completely honest. 10 years is all well and good, but definitely not eternal life!”- And so we move on to the second part of the explanation of the validity of Jesus’ statements. What would indicate that the traveling preacher of that time was not an impostor? The list of arguments concludes with the reference that millions of people throughout the centuries have had their own experiences with the Risen Lord – including the employees of Diospi Suyana.
A plaque with a poem hangs above the side entrance to the venerable building. The content is about the resurrection of the dead. For 870 years, Christians have gathered in this place and placed their trust in the one who promised us eternal life in God’s presence. The man from Nazareth said: “I am the bread of life, I am the light of the world, I am the way, the truth and the life!” – Powerful words that stand in sharp contrast to the hollow phrases spouted by modern influencers /KDJ
