Light in the Darkness

I never thought that I would visit a concentration camp.

I never thought that I would visit a country that had one. 

I never thought that I would be able to handle it emotionally. 

Coming to Poland changed that.

Auchswitz. Birkenau.

Places of death.

of destruction.

of annihilation.

of lost hope.

So many lives lost.

So many lives taken. 

False hope given. 

Torturous death dealt.

Arbeit Macht Frei. 

Work Makes Free.

False. Lies.

Work does not make one free. 

Jesus makes one free. 

This camp is filled with the memories of darkness. It is heavy. It is oppressive. 

Walking through this camp, you feel the darkness and the heaviness. 

It is stifling. 

It is almost too much to bear. 

Some say that many in charge did not come to justice. 

I disagree.

God is the judge. 

He alone deals judgment. 

True judgment.

This place is an illusion.

The beauty veils the darkness.

Like this place. 

Like this country.

Like this continent.

Beauty veils the darkness.

The spiritual oppression.

The apathy.

The deadness.

The dry bones. 

Covered.

Hidden.

Veiled.

Lost.

Believing lies.

False gospel.

Wolves in sheep's clothing.

Oppressed by the Enemy.

The Enemy thinks he's winning. 

Darkness consumes. 

Beauty hides.

This place needs help.

This place needs Jesus.

Jesus + Everything = Nothing

Jesus + Nothing = Everything

No "and thens"

Christ Alone

Jesus is light.

Jesus will shine in the darkness.

Jesus suffered.

Jesus overcame death.

Jesus resurrected.

Jesus loves this place.

Jesus will be glorified.

"After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands, and crying out with a loud voice, "Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throng, and to the Lamb!" And all the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, saying, "Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might be to our God forever and ever!! Amen."' 
Revelation 7:9-12
