| The idea
for this unusual background arose during a visit to Jerusalem. The
remaining part of the supporting wall of the temple ruins is called
the Wailing Wall or West Wall. When Jesus lived this temple was intact
and still in use. The ruined wall visible today emphasizes the tragic truth of Jesus's words: "Jérusalem, Jérusalem, qui
tues les prophètes et qui lapides ceux qui te sont envoyés,
combien de fois ai-je voulu rassembler tes enfants, comme une poule
rassemble sa couvée sous ses ailes, et vous ne l'avez pas
voulu!
Luc 13, 34 -35Voici, votre maison vous sera laissée; mais, je vous le dis, vous ne me verrez plus, jusqu'à ce que vous disiez: Béni soit celui qui vient au nom du Seigneur!" "Comme il approchait de la ville, Jésus, en la voyant,
pleura sur elle, et dit:
Luc 19, 41 - 44 Si toi aussi, au moins en ce jour qui t'est donné, tu connaissais les choses qui appartiennent à ta paix! Mais maintenant elles sont cachées à tes yeux. Il viendra sur toi des jours où tes ennemis t'environneront de tranchées, t'enfermeront, et te serreront de toutes parts; ils te détruiront, toi et tes enfants au milieu de toi, et ils ne laisseront pas en toi pierre sur pierre, parce que tu n'as pas connu le temps où tu as été visitée. Yet beyond all banishment, persecution and holocaust the place at the foot of the Wall is not only a place of wailing but also a place of praise, adoration and of great hope in the coming or returning Lord. And with that I am in the middle of Christmas events: Jesus, the Lord, will be born to us. And all sing praise to God: Zacharias, the angels, Simeon. And... Also Mary, as she professes her joy in praising God with her Magnificat: |
| Et Marie
dit: Mon âme exalte le Seigneur, Et mon esprit se réjouit en Dieu, mon Sauveur Luc 1, 46 - 47 |
| This means
that this piece of ruined wall is a witness to the great loyality
of God towards his chosen folk, Israel or towards each and every person
who believes in HIM. Rudolf Alexander Schröder describes this in a hymn: "... keep a tight hold on your belief that God will not let you fall, he keeps his promises..." Nuremberg, June 2000 |

For Jewish people: the coming, for christians: the returning Lord. During an informative evening it was possible to visit the interior of a synagogue. The speaker explained the arrangement and contents of the building: the seating order, the reading desk, the Thora shrine etc.. And the scriptures themselves. At the end he asked if there were any questions. He answered even the silly or provocative questions with a patient, modest and refined manner. Often using counter-questions, as Jesus himself was prone to do. A peculiar atmosphere arose. Then we heard him say, "I trust there is no-one amongst you who cannot now feel the presence of God!" Later the usual question was posed, "What do you think about Jesus?" And his reply, in the view of a Jew perfectly correct, was, "A great Rabbi, perhaps a prophet. But not the Messiah and definitely not the son of God." But then he added, "However, if he really was the Messiah and he returns, then we will see him and rejoice." As he said this his eyes lit up with joy! |
