‘I Have a Dream.’ Part-Two.

Rosa Parks.

The little ordinary people are the ones who make history and start movements. Rosa Parks was an ordinary black lady, who refused to give up her seat on a bus for a white man. Thus was born the Civil Rights Movement in America,

That movement inspired the troubles in N-Ireland, Aparthied in South-Africa and many other conflicts world-wide.

God calls people to believe in Him, through His Son Jesus and yet it is many ‘Christian based societies around the world, who practice Racism, Segregation and Sectarianism.

They claim to follow the bible and the teachings of Jesus and yet they are the first to be anti-Jewish and form groups such as the Ku Klux Klan to intimidate and drive out or suppress those they feel are inferior to them.

Psalm 27:3,   46:2,   Proverbs 3:7,   Malachi 3:5,   Matthew 10:26,   Luke 8:50,    Hebrews 13:6,   1 Peter 3:14, Revelation 2:10.

Terroism. Part-Two.

‘My/Our Agenda!

Everyone has their own agenda, but we have no right to force on others? Terrorist new and old don’t play by the rules of engagement, they have their rules to use fear and intimidation to get what they want. In 1605 Guy Fawkes had the Democratic ability to place out his beliefs, but instead he chose to use violence to kill the king, Parliament and quite a large number of innocent people in the wooden city.

The bible tells us that when the Jews were able to return to the land by the Emperor of Babylonia, they came under attack from their old enemies.  We do so much need to have a faith in god today, because of people trying to use violence to push their multinational world vision, through terrorism.

Nehemiah 2:10, 19,   4:7-8,  Psalm 5:5-6,  21:7,   Proverbs 29:10-11,   Matthew 10:26,  28,  31.

Immigration. Part-Two.

‘Why and Where?

There are many reasons why people leave their country of birth and go to a far away land. Persecution is probably the main reason, after that famine, natural disasters and last of all economic crises.

We tend to for get that at one time most of the countries in Europe had colonial empires, which explored the unknown world and then exploited resources, and people in to slavery.  The bible tells us about many nations ans peoples moving from place to place. Abraham and Moses were traveling great distances in their day.

Genesis 21:34,    Exodus 3:12,    Jeremiah 41:14-16,    Revelation 18:13.

Easter. Part-Two.

Failure.

Many of the Disciples of Jesus believed that they could follow Him any where. Peter boasted about it, but Jesus warned him that he would deny him three times.  Matthew 26:31-35,  Mark 14:27-31,  Luke 22:31-34,  John 13:36-38.

We can all make claims to what we believe in, but when it has to cost us something, fear of man sets in and we all run away. Mark 14:50-51, John 18:15-18, 25-27.

This was just the beginning of a series of events that are part of the Easter Story, all of this was in the will of God.

Virgin Birth. Part-Three.

‘Don’t be afraid!

We are twice told in the story of the birth of Jesus by Angels not to be afraid. It is a natural thing for humans to be afraid, when something happens that we do not understand. Joseph was perplexed, confused, when he found his wife to be Mary pregnant. Matthew 1:20.  The Shepherds out in the fields were startled by the appearance of Angels in the middle of the night.  Luke 2:8-20.

But look at the contrast here to the paranoid king Herod, what did he do with his fear?  Matthew 1:16-18,  Jeremiah 31:15.
