Power of Passion

13/4/2014

Still he is able to mobilise the masses. At least in Groningen, the Netherlands, where this week The Passion again is staged. A powerful message about a seemingly powerless king.

How will todays leaders be inspired by the kind of leadership that Jesus Christ displayed on the cross. A week to consider once again the power of faith beyond reason.

Sometimes I do wonder whether all our getting together at the global level trying to solve the worlds problems in big gatherings could embrace another roadmap. One of self-sacrifice rather then self-interest. Pouring out oneself for many. If only a few of the super rich would do so. Still I belief it is not the material gift that makes the difference, it is the belief in someone's capabilities for transformational change.
