JESUS - the run-away-boy

And now we got the message: a redeemer is born. And we are glad...   it's good for us and for all to know: it's a fact - the redeemer is born. What happen next ???
We look at him... We expect a lot...   We make interpretations... We work with our imagination...  Do we realize him in our life-style ???

Look what did we do with the family of Nazareth! We admire the family as a holy one: 
a wonderful meme, a dreaming father, a glorious son - an idyllic family! 
The Ev Luke tries to give us a glimpse on the reality. The "glorious" son is a run-away-boy
(weg-looper). The meme don't know why. Because the whole life is dictated by the Religion.
The boy didn't have the chance or the courage to speak about his uneasiness, desperation.
To live in such a "holy family" is impossible. There must be change. Js Temple-Service better? No Way! The run-away-boy has to learn: listen to the Word of the Reality, the Voice of God and to the cry of humanity. Before you change the world to be better, make yourself a redeeming personality. As such - not any more as a run-away-boy - go... and reveal yourself. 

We got a Synod of the family - did the Synod hear the run-away-boys? We got a lot of Church-families (Parishes) - but did the Church listen to the run-aways ???

This Blog Kdb is written because we need change; mostly we need change to be better in our Namibian Church. And Jesus is the run-away-boy...  away from the old situation into an new situation where is more freedom, engagement and love. Jesus has gone a changing way in a changing world. The Religion has not accepted him. For Christians Religion is over, is from yesterday; is not for the future. We need people engaged in changing (cross-way) in favour of the participation of all with the fullness of Life.
Jesus is the new kind of man...  we have tried (more or less in all our Blogs) to look at him, to represent him, to realize him... but in vain. Why in vain ???  Because the Jesus - we have in mind - we have learnt - we have shaped - this Jesus is not the real one - it's only our imagination. The "real Jesus" is still on the way to be born - all baptized people of every time and space together are the body of Christ animated by the Holy Spirit, visible in the Eucharistic Bread + Wine - changed and given for the Life of the World. 

My grateful wish for all Blog-Visitors: You may have the courage to accept for 2016
the Blessing of God as the Spirit of Life, of Engagement and of Love.
