Holy Mass in Assumption (10.01.16) and in Fatima (17.01.16) has shown me 2016 is like 2015. Like the EARTH circles the SUN - again + again - what a wonderful event - but something new ??? Is there among us a feeling in favour of "A NEW HEAVEN + a NEW EARTH" ? After Christmas - is there hope for? For our believers, Christianity is 2000 years old, but something NEW ??? Forget it ! too difficult...
As I have gone to Egmbo Nauta + APC-Otshikuku + Egumbo Alupe (07.-09.01.16) and to the APC-Tsumeb (12.-15.01.16) this was my question to all: What is NEW in the NEW Year.
But now after all these "Christmas" - CELEBRATIONS we know Jesus better:
The narrated tales, the story's have revealed a glimpse into the Mystery of Jesus.
The Story: Birth in Bethlehem with the Angels and the Shepherds.
The Story: The circumcision of Jesus in the Temple with the Prophets Simon + Anna.
The Story: The wise men with the gifts and Herodes with the killing of the children.
The Story: The whole family on the run to Egypt.
The Story: Jesus the run-away-boy to the Temple, but not accepted.
The Story: The METANOIA-Baptsim in the Jordan + Certification by the Holy Spirit.
The Story: Jesus in the DESERT: temptation - decision for his own way.
And now after he has found his own LIFE-WORK , his VOCATION... He is ready to proclaim his INTENTION and his STRATEGY.. everybody may know...
Everyone of the 4 Evangelists has his own story: HOW JvN has proclaimed this project.
Mk figures simply: "The Kingdom of God is nearby" / turn around.
Mt figures Jesus in the City of Kapernaum declaring: "The Kingdom of Haven is near."
John says: Jesus has started with a SIGN (Change water into wine).
Lk shows: Jesus in the Temple of Nazareth reads a text of Isaiah saying:
The Spirit of God is given to me, has anointed me, has sent me:
to bring good News to the poor / to bring (proclaim) liberty / to bring (give) a NEW SIGHT
/ to bring freedom / to bring (proclaim) a year of GRACE.
And at the end: Everybody knows this Isaiah-TEXT best! We know all these messages
and promises - nothing NEW... and JvN says: This TEXT-message - it's ME.
Do you have good news for me? - Yes! - pls tell me - It's ME.
I'AM THE GOOD NEWS / THE GRACE / the FREEDOM / LIBERTY / the NEW SIGHT.
Pat attention: 1. Jesus BRINGS... 2. Jesus is personalizing...
