Dear companions!
the middle of the winter landscape of graffiti on an electrical transformer:
"Finally there!"
who has been waiting for whom?
Who was finally there?
What someone has been waiting long?
The contemporaries of Jesus and waited - like many generations before them
. They asked themselves and others: "When will he finally be there
The Messiah and with him the kingdom of God?"
And: At an inconspicuous place, out of nondescript contemporary
Jesus says. "Change your attitude to life, the kingdom of God is da!"
Some were taken from his commitment. Many remained skeptical.
Others even considered him a blasphemer.
with you believing in the way
because the kingdom of God is there in Jesus the Christ.

Gospel of Matthew 4:00, 12-22
12 When Jesus heard that John was arrested, he withdrew to Galilee. 13 And he left Nazareth and settled in Capernaum down the lake in the area of Zebulun and Naphtali; 14 should go so true what is said by the prophet Isaiah is:
15 land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali ,
located toward the sea, beyond Jordan,
located toward the sea, beyond Jordan,
you pagan Galilee
16 the people which sat in darkness, has
seen a great light, sat
and in the shadow of death,
them a light has appeared.
17 From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, Repent! For the kingdom of heaven is at hand. walked 18 Jesus the Sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, as the casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen. 19 And he says to them, "Come, follow me! I will make you fishers of men. 20 And they left on the spot the nets and followed him. 21 And he went on from there and saw two other brothers, James son of Zebedee and his brother John, who with their father Zebedee, mending their nets in the boat, and he called them. 22 And left her on the spot the boat and their father and followed him.
just keep thinking ...
I feel for the outer movements, as indicated by - with Jesus: Galilee - Nazareth - Capernaum on the sea - the Sea of Galilee along - from there - ... the fishermen Simon, Andrew, James, John ; networks eject - are in place the networks are - follow him - dressing networks - to leave in place the boat and the father
I try to be due to the external motion in the inner movement in to Offset:
What is moved Jesus?
What the fishermen Peter, Andrew, James and John?
What Zebedee?
Do I know a thing or two from my own life?
From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, Repent! For the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Jesus recognized the right time (kairos Greek) and he brings into words what it deep inside moved: "the kingdom of heaven has come near" With Jesus is there, has arrived, which had yearned for generations. This assurance takes Jesus and recorded them. They leave on the spot Past lie back.
What I miss? What longings I feel in our society?
What / Who am I taken from inside (been)?
middle of the night
of life
a
in the midst of hectic
of everyday life
At-call
light in the middle of perennial
the new unexpected
drowned in the middle of the body into
call BE
will find echo
recognized
will be known
addition
live up to
midst
ER
counts!
