Why have we forgotten him?
In search of a good book, I browse through the full shelves of the bookshop. The store is well stocked. Thousands of titles on a wide variety of topics are waiting for their buyers. The advice section makes me curious. What reading here could give me a good tip when illness strikes, my marriage crumbles and I ask myself the question of meaning? I find all sorts of things, but there’s no mention of God anywhere. And I can’t even find a trace of the most important guidebook of all time – the Bible.
Have we really forgotten God? What would actually happen if He forgot us? Without forgiveness, we would be stuck with our old burdens, communion with God in our daily lives would be nothing more than a delusion and the best we would have for fear of death would be medication and drugs. In short, total hopelessness would take hold. /KDJ
(Joh. 7, 37-38) On the last and greatest day of the festival, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, ‘Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.’ (NIV)
