The Time 'Blue'


Jesus has the title 'Messiah', the Savior.  In the center of good news we hear about the salvation of men.  And this does mean, that we may change into the time 'blue'.

 

Jesus speaks to Nicodemus: "If you want to get into heaven, you have to be born again."

 Nicodemus is slightly confused, when he asks: "Do I have to go back into my mother's womb?"

 

Jesus: "If you believe and if you have been baptized in the Spirit of God, then you are a child of God."

 

When we have been born into this world we have not been questioned,  were  we want to be born then.  One day we woke up, we adopted our parents, and then started to sense the meaning of this world.

 

We spoke German and not Chinese, our skin was white and not reddish or brownish, and we suffered injustice and pain.

 

                                                                 * * * * *

Then we heard of Jesus.  He speaks about a totally different world, and, we can get into this world.  A covenant.  Like a wedding.  Officially and before witnesses we say:

 

"Yes, I will."  And then it has happened: We are living in the time 'blue'.  We are living in dependency of the Holy Spirit.

And this decision is valid for ever.  After our death we stay on the way, we have begun with Jesus.

 

Because:  The realm of the dead is like paradise, as Jesus says himself.  Here we are delivered of our sins by the shed blood of Jesus.

 

The alternative is, however, very burdening, because in this realm of the death you have to atone for your sins yourself.

 

Why is that so?  Since the Fall of Adam and Eve, we are under the Law.  As our conscience tells us, we accumulate a heap of transgressions in our lifetime, which will become a great nuisance, when we have to pay for it.

 

Jesus has died for our sins. If we follow him, we are free.
