for a devotional book for the year 2010:
- It is not even teach the others say a brother the other, and "Know the Lord," but they should know me all, both small and large, says the Lord. (Jeremiah 31, 34)
- We are children of God, but it is not yet been revealed what we shall be. But we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see him as he is. (1 John 3, 2)
"God is too big for just one religion," says a graffito on the wall in Bethlehem.
An employee in the peace program World Council of Churches meets the representative of Israeli human rights organization, and complains that he was dealing with hostile Israeli soldiers and Jewish settlers, violent, and he could hear the Hebrew language any more. That sounds serious, says the friend. Come on Friday evening with us in the synagogue and then to our home. And so the stressed Christ celebrates the Sabbath with Jewish friends.
Later, in one of the Palestinian villages are terrorized by Jewish settlers, says the ecumenical staff of the Imam: Can he go with him to the mosque for evening prayer? The imam hesitates. At the same time one breaks out political argument between the Imam and young men from the city. They accuse each other of belonging to Hamas or to work together with Israel. They differ in the dispute. The Imam takes the Christians by the hand, showing him the space for the ritual washing and then takes him into the mosque where they perform at the same time their various prayers. -
Our Father in heaven, do you hear and you know our prayers! Let us understand what to pray the others!
Lutheran hymnal page 344:
Our Father in heaven,
of us all hot and his brothers the same
up call
and also want to pray han of us
Grant that most do not bet the mouth alone,
it go from my heart.
(sung confession of faith, verse 1, from Martin Luther almost five hundred years, sealed)
