Today it’s Sunday. A weekly rest day, which we keep on Sunday, is a command and a gift from God. We dedicate this day especially to the service of God. For Christians, Sunday is also a weekly echo of Easter Sunday, on which Jesus Christ rose from the dead. Reasons for us not to update our site today.
Tomorrow we would like to inform you again about the daily events, with background information, comments and opinion articles. As you are used to from us.
Word on Sunday
Time of suffering (3)
“My eyes have failed, for I hope in my God…”
Psalm 69:4
“My eyes are weakened,” says the NBV21. But it’s stronger here. “My eyes have come to an end,” says another translator. Succumbed, ended. You could almost say: I am blind. Waited so long, looked so long, peered so hard to see if help would come, that in the end you don’t see anything anymore. And help did not come.
Wasn’t the same true of the Lord Jesus on the night when He was betrayed? He also sought help from His friends in the garden of Gethsemane. But they could not watch with Him for one hour.
