    About this ebook

    In the synoptic gospels, which are also called history books, Jesus’ origin, path of life and goal is described. But not with the intention to draw an objective picture, which satisfies the demands of modern, scientific history books. This way of thinking was totally strange to the people of the ancient world.What a pity, you might think. But the writer of the gospels speak wholeheartedly what Jesus mean to them. And much more: They describe what Jesus means for the world. That is more important as the historic question regarding space and time. This is about eternity and sense. Where do we come from, what does give our lives meaning, where will we go after our dying? What is the human and who is God? How the life of Jesus took place, his speeches and work, I have compiled exemplarily from the synoptic gospels. I formulated a creed for the presence, which tries to express the faith in a contemporary language and added an explanation. What does that mean? I ask and interpret the christian faith for the presence. In addition I added for a better understanding verses which describe God as creator and how God as Holy Spirit faced humans - then and today.

      About me

      I live in Dresden, Germany. I was a merchant and then I studied theology - without degree. Through my engagement with Zen I became aware of the Christian mysticism. Meanwhile I go my own way. Believe is not a thinking but a being. It is important to me, not to live lost in thought, but to live aware and intensely.

      My Christian faith and my experiences in meditation influence my everyday life, in which I try to be attentive. My books arise from this spirit too.

      Preface

      Similar to the sun which is reflected in water and warms it, the bible gives witness of Jesus Christ, who unlocks us God’s heart (being).

      In the synoptic gospels, which are also called history books, Jesus’ origin, path of life and goal is described. But not with the intention to draw an objective picture, which satisfies the demands of modern, scientific history books. This way of thinking was totally strange to the people of the ancient world.

      What a pity, you might think. But the writer of the gospels speak wholeheartedly what Jesus mean to them. And much more: They describe what Jesus means for the world. That is more important as the historic question regarding space and time. This is about eternity and sense. Where do we come from, what does give our lives meaning, where will we go after our dying? What is the human and who is God? For the evangelists Jesus was the Messiah, which also the Jews were egerly awaiting, and God’s Son. How the life of Jesus took place, his speeches and work, I have compiled exemplarily from the synoptic gospels. I don’t make a claim to be complete. Who feels inspired after reading my selection may read the scripture by himself. It is worthwhile in any case. I formulated a creed for the presence, which tries to express the faith in a contemporary language and added an explanation. What does that mean? I ask and interpret the christian faith for the presence. In addition I added for a better understanding verses which describe God as creator and how God as Holy Spirit faced humans - then and today.

      God in Creation

      I believe in God, emptiness and life, who made us out of love.

      One with the universe, he is not absorbed by it.

      Who is free, because his spirit blows where he wants.

      One with Christ, we see his fullness.

      Scripture

      Genesis 1

      1 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was formless and empty. Darkness was on the surface of the deep and God’s Spirit was hovering over the surface of the waters.

      3 God said, Let there be light, and there was light. 4 God saw the light, and saw that it was good. God divided the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light day, and the darkness he called night. There was evening and there was morning, the first day.

      6 God said, Let there be an expanse in the middle of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. 7 God made the expanse, and divided the waters which were under the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse; and it was so. 8 God called the expanse sky. There was evening and there was morning, a second day.

      9 God said, Let the waters under the sky be gathered together to one place, and let the dry land appear; and it was so. 10 God called the dry land earth, and the gathering together of the waters he called seas. God saw that it was good. 11 God said, Let the earth yield grass, herbs yielding seeds, and fruit trees bearing fruit after their kind, with their seeds in it, on the earth; and it was so. 12 The earth yielded grass, herbs yielding seed after their kind, and trees bearing fruit, with their seeds in it, after their kind; and God saw that it was good. 13 There was evening and there was morning, a third day.

      14 God said, Let there be lights in the expanse of sky to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs to mark seasons, days, and years; 15 and let them be for lights in the expanse of sky to give light on the earth; and it was so. 16 God made the two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He also made the stars. 17 God set them in the expanse of sky to give light to the earth, 18 and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness. God saw that it was good. 19 There was evening and there was morning, a fourth day.

      20 God said, Let the waters abound with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the open expanse of sky. 21 God created the large sea creatures and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarmed, after their kind, and every winged bird after its kind. God saw that it was good. 22 God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth. 23 There was evening and there was morning, a fifth day.

      24 God said, Let the earth produce living creatures after their kind, livestock, creeping things, and animals of the earth after their kind; and it was so. 25 God made the animals of the earth after their kind, and the livestock after their kind, and everything that
