 the eternal life in God himself!
+We are all disillusioned within this world. We see our immediate environment only. We see the struggle, we
+see our needs, and our power - when we believe to have it. We see societies with their way to function,
+we see wealth and riches, but also poverty and need. Do we see eternal life? How could we? It is not part
+of our everyday life.
+Here, the story of Jesus truly superseeds our daily experiences. It is more than what we could know. It is
+reaching far beyond. God, eternal life, eternal love, justice, truth, fatherhood and motherhood in full
+completion. Is it too good to be true? Is it just a dream, just a fancy ideal?
+Yet, we believe so many things in our life, which are of the same quality! We believe in ethics, in human
+rights, in dignity, in love. It all is given in and through the Lord, it is rooted in our origin,
+being creations of a fantastic eternal God and father. In Jesus, we are reconnected to him, fully, in
+and through the spirit. A deep truth for today and tomorrow, for you and me.
