Catholics facing a totally different Holy Week

For Pope Francis at the Vatican, and for Catholics worldwide from churches large and small, this will be an Easter like none other, like for real Christians this week shall be one of isolation whilst otherwise so busy with meeting and sharing the Good News.

The joyous message of Christ’s resurrection will be delivered to empty pews in the Christian world.
Bible students all over the world, who normally gather on 14 Nisan to have their Memorial Meal shall not be able to gather in this time of lockdown.
Also the Jews shall not be able to invite friends and poor people to their seder and shall have to celebrate the Passover meal on their own.

For the Catholics and many protestants, the world seems to come to a stand still, having no mass or worship services in public any more. Some protestant churches already spoke of a devil (Satan) making sure there would come an end to people serving and worshipping God.

Worries about the coronavirus outbreak have triggered widespread cancellations of Holy Week processions and in-person services. Many priests and pastors will preach on TV or online, tailoring sermons to account for the pandemic.
Many extended families will reunite via Face Time and Zoom rather than around a communal table laden with a Pesach Memorial Meal on Wednesday the 8th of April or an Easter feast on April 12.

Pope Francis, the first pontiff from Latin America, will be celebrating Mass for Palm Sunday, Holy Thursday and Easter in a near-empty St. Peter’s Basilica, instead of in the huge square outside filled with Catholic faithful.

Finding our identity in serving God

Questioning who we are, who we want to meet, who we want to spend days with, how we want to go through life, in the back of our head we always have to be sure that we shall have to try to live according to the Will of the most High.

A pastor with Biblical Worldviews reminds us on WordPress it is common knowledge that a large percentage of our short lives is invested in our workplaces.

This means that there will be plenty of worldly temptations vying for our attention intended to gradually pull us away from a healthy and intimate relationship with God. These worldly temptations may include: climbing the corporate ladder at the expense of relationships; seeking career promotions for the love of money(root of all evil); relying on work as a source for approval and recognition; allowing yourself to be defined by your work(identity); or even allowing work to become a replacement for God through idolatry.

....

From a larger scope, as Christians we can always find our answer in the Truth from the Gospel in that Christ has already paid the price. We no longer need to prove ourselves, and/or ever perform to be accepted. We are already proven and made secure through His atoning sacrifice for all our sins.

Being sure of their deliverance

In the old times before Christ Jesus (Jeshua) was born there were several people who believed in the Creator and his promises. They were sure that the divine Creator was with them and would continuously guide them through easy but also through difficult times.

The Holy Bible in Modern Greek translated by Neophytus Vamvas (Νεόφυτος Βάμβας): At Exodus 6:3 the divine name of God, the sacred Tetragrammaton, is rendered "Ιεοβά" (Ieová, that is "Yehova" (Eng.) or "Iehova" [Lat.], also "Ιεχωβά" [Gr.]). (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

In the Holy Scriptures we can find the Hebraic writers and the congregations of ancients who used their songs in worship to God and did not mind showing to others in Whom they believed and how He was guiding them and giving them deliverance.

Those men of God had a special relation with Him, whom they could not see. But they told others about their experience an ongoing, intimate walk with God and for that reason they could have faith in Him about their deliverance.

English: John the Baptist baptizing Christ

John the Baptist baptizing Christ (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Psalms 32:6-11 The Scriptures 1998+: (6) Therefore, let every kind one pray to You While You might be found; Even in a flood of great waters They would not reach him. (7) You are my hiding place; You preserve me from distress; You surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah. (8) “Let Me instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; Let Me counsel, My eye be on you. (9) Do not be like the horse, like the mule, With no understanding, with bit and bridle, Else they do not come near you.” (10) Many are the sorrows of the wrong; But as for the one trusting in יהוה {Jehovah}, Kindness surrounds him. (11) Be glad in יהוה {Jehovah} and exult, you righteous; And shout for joy, all you upright in heart!

Like King David those men could say these things and mean them because they like we knew they could count on the Only One God, the Elohim Hashem Jehovah. And they were willing to give their heart and soul (their whole being) onto the Eternal Creator and led them be fed by His Mighty Power the Holy Spirit.

Today we still can look forward to the “songs of deliverance” with great joy and big expectations. For we have received the Full Grace of Salvation. By Jesus Christ the Messiah our relationship with the Creator is restored and we can go up to our Holy father in heaven. Because of the Offer of Jeshua (Jesus Christ) we have received the proffered gift of salvation and presence with and friendship with Jehovah for all eternity. though we still may do faults we can count on it that we can get forgiveness of sins through Jesus the Messiah, who is the son of God, the only human being who resisted all evil and who managed to stay clean in the eyes of God, always doing the will of his Father above his own will.

God took care that we still can read the old songs of deliverance and we too can use them. Therefore take up the Bible and use those songs and prayers to worship the Only One God and show your thanks for His blessings.

Songs in the night Worship God only

Songs in the night

Get thee hence, Satan:
for it is written,
Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God,
and him only shalt thou serve.
— Matthew 4:10

DURING the forty days in the wilderness our Lord had come to see that the dominion of earth could be attained only through great
suffering.
He was weak from his long fast, and all the details of prophecy were
before his mind. He saw himself as a lamb dumb before his shearers; as the serpent lifted up in the wilderness.
Satan’s suggestion was a temptation, but after consideration he saw that Satan was asking him to violate his covenant
— to go contrary to God’s will.
Immediately he answered, “Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou
serve.”
Then the devil left the Lord, finding nothing to work upon
— so loyal was Jesus to the Word of Jehovah.
Afterwards the angels came and ministered unto him. —Z. 1912-262 (Hymn 200)

Songs of the night

Op dit platform kan u in de oude berichten nog Songs of the night vinden.

Alles wat wij voor God ten uitvoer brengen moeten wij welgemeend doen en vol liefdevolle intenties naar onze medemens. Indien wij met God zijn komen de sterkte en vreugde ook tot ons.

Beseffen wij goed het verschil tussen klagen en het kenbaar maken van onze moeilijkheden en pijnen?

Indien wij liederen in de nacht willen moeten wij God prijzen tijdens onze beproevingen. en omdat te kunnen moeten wij reeds een gift van god ontvangen, welke ons de kracht geeft hierover te verzetten.

Elke mens kan zo maar zingen, maar God geeft de meest welluidende liederen in de nacht.

Lees meer:

Nature, of course, shrinks from suffering: still, when it comes, if we are with God, strength and joy are there.
+ Job is but one who was able to sing in the night.
+ Songs in the
night speak to one’s personal attitude where he praises God in the face of
trecherous times, where one not only has to walk across fire, but face bolders,
mountains, and valleys.

Welcome

Welcome at this zone created by Marcus Ampe for the Belgian Free Christadelphians, where previous articles from the MSN Groups and Multiply are brought together and made available again to the general public. On 2012 October 26 this site came into development and new articles shall be added next to our main site and to the Christadelphian Ecclesia site: Christadelphian Ecclesia.
You are welcome at that site to find more articles.

All who want to follow Jesus/Jeshua (Yeshua/Yahsua) from Nazareth, the Christ, the Messiah and wants to be united with people who sincerely want to keep to those teachings of this masterteacher are welcome to share their love for Christ and their hope for the coming Kingdom.

The names "Christadelphia" and 'Christadelphian' is compounded of two Greek words: 'christos' and 'adelphoi' and means 'brethren in Christ'.

This site is created by a Free Christadelphian only bounded to Jesus Christ. We are open to anybody who wants to share the brotherly love of Christ. Coming together by a common belief in 'the things concerning the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ' (Acts 8:12).

In the older Multiply messages links to Multiply shall not always work from 2012 December 1, but you shall be able to find them by copying and pasting the title in the search machine. I have worked on re-editing those links from 2005 onwards, so that they could work in the future, but it became a to much time consuming job, so I stopped doing it after a while. (My apologies for certain links not working any more.)

Thanks for visiting us and hope to see you again.

Welkom

Wij wensen allen welkom die hier op deze pagina's terecht komen en hopen dat zij geïnspireerd mogen geraken om verder de Bijbel ter hand te nemen en zelf op onderzoek te gaan wat er in de Heilige Schrift werkelijk staat.

De namen "Christadelphia" en "Christadelphian" is een samentelling van twee Griekse woorden : "Christos" en "adelphoi" en betekent 'broer in Christus'. De Christadelphians zijn een groep van mensen die samen verbonden zijn door hun gemeenschappelijk geloof betreffende de dingen aangaande het Koninkrijk van God en de naam van Jezus Christus (Jeshua, de Messias) (Handelingen van de Apostelen 8v12).
Christadelphian mensen zouden tot een wereldwijde gemeenschap moeten behoren, wiens doel is zo trouw als mogelijke de leerstelling en voorbeeld van Jezus/Jehsua Christus te volgen, zoals het geregistreerd staat in de Bijbel.
In een wereld die vol is van onzekerheden genieten wij van een eenvoudig, rechtstreeks en logisch geloof, dat nu al vrede en voldoening aanbiedt en de belofte van het nog te komen eeuwigdurende vreugderijk: het Koninkijk van God.

Op deze site, gecreëerd door Marcus Ampe voor de Vrije Belgische Christadelphians, of Broeders in Christus, zijn in oktober 2012 de vroegere berichten uit de MSN Groepen en Multiply samen gebracht en terug zichtbaar gemaakt voor het algemeen publiek.

Meerdere linken in de vroegere artikelen zullen vermoedelijk niet werken, maar u kan de titel dan kopiëren en plakken in het "Zoek" venster om zo bij het juiste artikel te komen. Ik maakte er werk van om de artikelen vanaf 2005 terug te editen en daarin de linken te vernieuwen, zodat zij terug zouden werken. Maar dit vroeg zo veel tijd dat ik het heb opgegeven. Daarom verzoek ik mij te verontschuldigen indien u een link tegen komt die niet meer werkt.

Vanaf 26 oktober 2012 is deze website opengesteld naar het publiek en zullen er in de toekomst nog enkele artikelen bij komen. Maar de meerderheid van de teksten zullen nu geplaatst worden op de site van de Vlaamse Broeders in Christus of Christadelphians en op de kerkgemeenschapssite
Christadelphian Ecclesia.

Graag ontmoeten wij u daar voor meerdere artikelen.
