EXTRA TIME

Der Herr ist auferstanden!

„Die Botschaft der Auferstehung ist, dass diese Welt wichtig ist. Aller Ungerechtigkeit und allem Leid, die wir heute erleben, müssen wir mit der Botschaft entgegentreten, dass Heil, Gerechtigkeit und Liebe gesiegt haben … Wenn Jesus wahrhaftig – und nicht nur im Geiste – von den Toten auferstanden ist, dann geht es bei Ostern nicht bloß um eine neue spirituelle Dimension in meinem Leben. Vielmehr ist der christliche Glaube eine frohe Botschaft für die ganze Welt: Ostern bedeutet, dass in einer Welt, in der Ungerechtigkeit, Gewalt, Erniedrigung usw. an der Tagesordnung sind, Gott nicht bereit ist, diese Dinge zu dulden – und dass wir mit all Seiner Energie darauf hinarbeiten, den Sieg Jesu über diese Dinge Gestalt annehmen zu lassen.“

(HTB) “How deep the father’s love for us” https://www.instagram.com/tv/CNKdz1QFz5M/?igshid=5s77n6geq03

How deep the Father's love for us
How vast beyond all measure
That He should give His only Son
To make a wretch His treasure

How great the pain of searing loss
The Father turns His face away
As wounds which mar the Chosen One
Bring many sons to glory

Behold the man upon a cross
My sin upon His shoulders
Ashamed, I hear my mocking voice
Call out among the scoffers

It was my sin that held Him there
Until it was accomplished
His dying breath has brought me life
I know that it is finished

I will not boast in anything
No gifts, no power, no wisdom
But I will boast in Jesus Christ
His death and resurrection

Why should I gain from His reward?
I cannot give an answer
But this I know with all my heart
His wounds have paid my ransom

Why should I gain from His reward?
I cannot give an answer
But this I know with all my heart
His wounds have paid my ransom

(Selah, 2009)
