An Almost Unbelievable Story of God's Grace: the Keitel Story
When has a person really lived successfully? What is the most important thing, the actual goal of this whole undertaking we call "life"?
A successful life, from God's point of view, has nothing to do with how much prosperity or earthly success we achieve in this life. It depends on whether we attain the most precious thing there is to be found in this life.
In this sermon Martin takes you on a journey of discovery into the offensive, irritating, and challenging force of divine grace .
After first taking a look at the so-called thief on the cross, the two main protagonists of the talk are introduced — Field Marshal Wilhelm Keitel and the American Henry Fred Gerecke, — whose lives were connected with one another by God in an astonishing way.
This message is a real eye-opener. For God's grace does not correspond to our idea of justice ... and how we, as human beings, can obtain his favor. God's righteousness follows different standards — and they are uncomfortably challenging.
Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.
1 John 5:12
