Pelle’s Thoughts
In August, I went with my family and my dear friend Rudi the rabbit on vacation to Arizona. Of course we did a trip to the Grand Canyon. And while peeking down into the gorge from a side pocket of a backpack I remembered something I once read somewhere:
It is said that one day, a man with a small child stood at the edge of the Grand Canyon peering over the side in speechless wonder at its beauty and magnificence. After a long silence, the daughter looked up and said to her dad, “Wow! Something must have happened here.”
Being a PT (Pastor’s Teddy) I couldn’t help it but compare the Grand Canyon to the kingdom of God. I thought about the future, and what it has in store for us: At some point people will stand in the midst of God’s complete kingdom and say: “Wow! Something must have happened here.”
People will look in awe at a world that has completely changed. Hatred will have changed into love, fear will have changed into confidence, racism will have changed into friendship, hunger will have changed into satisfaction, darkness will have changed into light, death will have changed into life.
And now the question is: Do we want to be part of this?
I certainly would not want to dig a hole into the ground that has the size of the Grand Canyon. I am way too small and couldn’t even hold a shovel. And the Colorado River has taken care of this already anyway.
But God’s kingdom has not yet developed its full beauty yet. There is still a lot of work to do. Don’t get me wrong: we are not the ones who make it happen. God will make it happen - with or without us. But the question still is: Do we want to be a part of this? Do we want to help make it happen?
I sure do, because it is a wonderful work. It is not just hard work, but also a lot of fun. How cool would it be to look at something a billion times more beautiful than the Grand Canyon and say: Wow, something has happened here and I am part of it!
So, let’s grab our tools and get to work!
Yours Pelle
