For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son,
so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life
John 3:16 |
"Where are we to look for our survival, for the answers to the questions which have never been posed?
We must look first to the Almighty God who has raised man above the animals and endowed him with intelligence and reason.
We must put our faith in him, that he will no desert us or permit us to destroy humanity wich he created in his image.
We must look into ourselves, into the depth of our soul.
We must become something we have never been, and for which our education and experience and environment have ill prepared us.
We must become bigger than we have been, more courageous, greater in spirit, larger in outlook.
We must become members of a new race, owing our ultimate allegience not to nations, but to our fellow men within the human communtiy." |
Acts 8:27 So he started out, and on his way he met an Ethiopian eunuch, an important official in charge of all the treasury of Candace, Queen of the Ethiopians. This man had gone to Jerusalem to worship.
Amos 9:7 "Are ye not as children of the Ethiopians unto me, O children of Israel?" Saith the Lord. "Have not I brought Israel out of the land of Egypt? And the Phillistinies from Caphtor, and the Syrians from Kir? |
38: 7 An Ethiopian, Ebed Melech, a court official in the royal palace, heard that Jeremiah had been put in the cistern. While the king was holding court at the Benjamin Gate,
38: 8 Ebed Melech departed the palace and went to speak to the king. He said to him,
38: 9 Your royal Majesty, those men have been very wicked in all that they have done to the prophet Jeremiah. They have thrown him into a cistern and he is sure to die of starvation there because there is no food left in the city.
38:10 Then the king gave Ebed Melech the Ethiopian the following order: Take thirty men with you from here and go pull the prophet Jeremiah out of the cistern before he dies.
38:11 So Ebed Melech took the men with him and went to a room under the treasure room in the palace. He got some worn-out clothes and old rags from there and let them down by ropes to Jeremiah in the cistern.
38:12 Ebed Melech called down to Jeremiah, Put these rags and worn-out clothes under your armpits to pad the ropes. Jeremiah did as Ebed Melech instructed.
38:13 So they pulled Jeremiah up from the cistern with ropes. Jeremiah, however, still remained confined to the courtyard of the guardhouse. |
