Be faithful unto death ...



Francis Omondi from Sheepfold ministries in Kenya has just had a reflection published on Fulcrum aboout the brutal murders in March 2010 of Christians in Jos Nigeria Be faithful unto death


I particularly liked the quote from Tohito Kagawa's book Meditation:

“I do not deny the eventuality of death, death lies sternly upon my course, nevertheless I believe that Love [the love of God] has far greater power than death. ‘ death is swallowed up in love …’

Love is stronger than death, love’s glory tramples even death under feet, I am thinking that death is transformed through love. Death is an aspect of change, while love is the substance that persists through all changes.


The Anglican diocese of Jos have published pictures on thier website. Be warned theya re very disturbing


At the end of the pictures there is a prayer:
WE PRAY FOR A MIRACLE FROM GOD TO HALT THE
VIOLENCE, DESTRUCTION AND BLOODSHED AND FOR THE
SPIRITUAL GIFT OF FORGIVENESS IN AND ON THE CHURCH ON
THE PLATEAU, AMEN.
