Silent Time

On Christmas, the Lord has come into this world.

How do we get prepared for his return?

What makes you sad? What takes away the joy of your life?

Generally, it is not useful to put too much focus on the negative things in life.

Nevertheless it can be healthy and helpful at times to think about where the sadness comes from and to understand the background.

Ultimately there is good news, a light that is greater than all the darkness.

A light that began to shine on the original Christmas.

The good news for all nations.

Despite all the disappointments in life - why does it yet make sense to give thanks?

Things brought into being, that earlier did not exist.

Others than expected – have you ever joined a party or banquet and there have been totally different guests than expected?

Have you ever been jailed like a criminal?

Have you ever been a witness?

Have you ever been in a court?

For judges and others employed in the legal system, it is a normal routine.

How is it concerned also to everyone else?

Many people have experienced in their life situations of deadly peril, for example serious “almost-accidents” while driving a car or a motorbike. They remember the situation well and can report about how they have been rescued.

Not only the health of our body is at risk. 

How can we be safe?
