The Church has failed to disciple people on a theo-political level. Christianity is itself it’s own politic, a way of living under the reign of God. Jesus is seated on the throne - that is the truth that we are to live according to. Too many have crossed the line from prophetic critique to believing that the government will do good for the Kingdom of God. Our worldly governments are anti the Kingdom of God in almost every way.

The thief on the cross believed in the Christ, and was saved. If the thief, instead of dying on the cross, had descended from it, and told all men of his belief in the Christ, would not the result have been of great good? Like the thief on the cross, I believe in the doctrine of Jesus, and this belief has made me whole. This is not a vain comparison, but a truthful expression of my spiritual condition; my soul, once filled with despair of life and fear of death is now full of happiness and peace.

So cool. In Revelation 4 there is a sea as smooth as glass described in front of the throne. John’s audience reading Revelation likely would have associated the sea with chaos and evil. Before the throne of God chaos is stilled and chaos is subdued. Wow. And just thinking about this with Jesus speaking to the storm to be still too... WOWOWOWOWOW.

The Christian belief in Creation arises at the point where all Christian faith arises, namely, in the revelation of God in Jesus Christ. For there God meets us as the Lord, who, because He is Lord, is the Creator. Even faith in God the Creator is "truth-as-encounter"; the Lord who meets me in His Word, in His Word as Person -- Jesus Christ, is LORD, absolutely; thus He who is "above" all and "before" all is the One who originates all things and is Himself originated by none; He is the One who determines all things and is determined by none. Even this truth is expressed in the form: "I, thy God and Creator". and not "He, the World-Creator". This truth comes to man as a personal summons; it is not a truth which is the fruit of reflection; hence it is truth which, from the very outset, makes me directly responsible. "I am the Lord thy God", the Creator; this means: "Thou art My property". This does not mean that I start from the idea that God is the Creator of the world, and then argue that since I also form part of the world I also recognize Him as my Creator, and then come to the conclusion that I belong to God. The way to the knowledge of faith is the very opposite: here, as everywhere in the Christian Faith, the "I-Thou" comes first; hence from the outset, and not later on, this truth has ethical force. For the fact that man belongs to God implies the whole truth of responsibility and of all moral obligation. In Jesus Christ we meet Him who addresses us as absolute Lord, and therefore as the Creator of all things: "I, thy Lord, the Creator".

In the Prologue of the Gospel of John the Creation is mentioned in a way which we find nowhere else in the Bible; here it is clear that when a believer in Christ speaks of the Creation, he means something different from "explaining" why there is a world, or why things exist. In this witness to the Creation we are all addressed, and the meaning of our existence is defined. Here there is no question of confusing the Creation with a cosmogony. Here the Word which became flesh in Jesus Christ, and the Word of Creation, are one. In this Word of Creation the eternal decree, and in it also the purpose and the meaning of all existence become plain.
