"...the resurrection is not merely a happy ending. It is a confirmation that the future belongs to just the kind of love Jesus enacted on the cross." MV in the new book: "Glimmerings. Letters of Faith Between a Poet and a Theologian", by Miroslav Volf & Christian Wiman.

Thinking of how it was for Jesus to live under the shadow of the cross, all the way since he became aware of his destiny. Especially from the point when he began the last journey up to Jerusalem with his disciples. And how he could be so present and caring while knowing it all...

Today's message is about the one and only King, the one who reigns in selfgiving love, humility and justice... In him all people will be united and set free. And of his kingdom there will be no end. Come soon, Lord Jesus!

The eternal rest is not inactivity but absence of evil. Hence no more influence from it and no battle against it. Only rejoicing in God's presence, beauty and creativity... Amd joining in what he will be doing...

To receive justification by faith is to acknowledge that my source of spiritual life is not myself, but God in Christ through his death & resurrection. To insist on my own righteousness is to cut myself off from the source of life. To live in faith is to live at the well of life.

If Christ's two natures (human & divine) can't be divided (which I think is true), can we then say that he experiences as *God* how it is to be human, and as a *human* how it is to be God? Am I right?

Word for today from Acts 14: Paulus and Barnabas "returned to Lystra, Iconium and Antioch, strengthening the disciples and encouraging them to remain true to the faith. 'We must go through many hardships to enter the kingdom of God,' they said."

Poem by Tomas Tranströmer, swedish Nobel Prize winner, 2011: Tired of all who come with words, words but no language I went to the snow-covered island. The wild does not have words. The unwritten pages spread out on all sides! I come upon the tracks of roe deer in the snow. Language but no words.

Your value, your identity, your purpose, your hope are all hidden with Christ, who shed his own blood for you. And though in this life we suffer tribulation, there is stored up for us an eternal weight of glory.

Things are shaky. But our hope is stable, anchored in the very presence of Father, Son & Holy Spirit! "We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain, where our forerunner, Jesus, has entered on our behalf..." Heb 6

The evil that ravages in the world is more evil than we imagine! But also: God's goodness and love for us all is far deeper and greater than we ever dare to hope! And so is his coming Kingdom, on earth as in heaven...
