Nachdem Jesus den ganzen Tag bis in die Nacht hinein geheilt hatte, wollte er sich in die Stille und Einsamkeit der Wüste zurückziehen, um zu seinem Vater zu beten. Doch die ersehnte Ruhe blieb ihm verwehrt. Eine Gestalt nach der anderen löste sich aus den Schatten der Felsen, als wäre sie unmittelbar aus der Dunkelheit geboren.

Jesus zählte die Stunden nicht. Auch sah er nicht zurück, um zu überblicken, wie weit er bereits gekommen war.

Ruth is the eighth book of the Bible and tells the story of a Moabite woman who married an Israelite and became an ancestor of King David.

Atheists often level charges at the God of the Bible as being angry and hateful. They claim that God condones genocide, that he is a cruel and oppressive megalomaniac, but this doesn’t seem to match what Christians claim about him being a God of love.
