Barrabas Means Son Of The Father 🌱✨ Drawing by Dmitrijs Botvinjevs that inspired this blog today  3.april 2026 🇷🇺🇵🇱🇩🇰👇 There is a moment in the Gospel story that has always struck me deeply. The crowd stands before Pilate, and two men are presented: Jesus, and Barabbas. One is innocent, the other guilty. And yet the crowd cries out for Barabbas to be released. But then I learned something that made this scene even more powerful. The name Barabbas comes from Aramaic: Bar means son Abba means father So Bar-Abba literally means “son of the father.” In that moment, the people chose one “son of the father” to go free, while the true Son of the Father took his place. Jesus stood there, silently accepting what was happening. He stepped into the place of the guilty. He took the place of Barabbas. And in a deeper sense, He took our place too. “I desire mercy, not sacrifice.” Jesus did not come to continue a system of endless sacrifice. He came to fulfill it. He becam...

Dominion, Desire, and the Question We Avoid I am not trying to build a theory or accuse anyone. I am asking a question: are we truly listening to God, or are we defending human desire while calling it divine permission? Scripture often presents what we take for granted — meat, dominion, sacrifice — in a way that challenges us deeply. In Genesis, humans and animals are formed from the same earth and share the same breath of life. Both are called living beings. Vegetation is given for food to all. Animals are never introduced as food in the creation story. Dominion is given to humanity, but it is immediately defined by restraint: power is to be expressed through care, not destruction. Genesis 2 clarifies this further: humans are placed in the garden “to work it and to keep it,” tending and protecting creation. This is godly dominion — stewardship, not killing. Animals are companions in the created order, not partners for consumption. Later, after violence fills the earth, hum...

🌱🇩🇰 Bibelsk original madplan er ikke imod Koranen 🌱 Begge omtaler planter som god og ren mad. Når jeg deler Bibelvers om, at Gud gav os planter som mad, får jeg tit modstand fra forskellige mennesker. Nogle gange også fra muslimer, der siger: “Du citerer de kristnes og jøders Gud/Skrifter, ikke vores Gud. Vi må godt spise dyr, bare ikke gris, da det er et beskidt dyr, og de andre dyr skal bare halal slagtes.” Nu er jeg ingen ekspert i Koranen, men til min forståelse betyder halal ren eller god måde at gøre noget på? Og ja, så kan jeg godt undre mig over, om vi overhovedet tror på den samme Gud, der skabte os og dyrene. Men så kigger jeg også i Koranen indimellem, og der finder jeg vers, der også taler om den originale madplan, der lyder til at være mest omtalt som plantemad: 🌱 Qur’an-vers om planter som Guds forsyn/originale gode madplan 💚😁 Koranen 2:22: “Han er den, som gjorde jorden til et hvilested for jer og himlen til et tag, og som sendte vand ned fra himlen og...

IS VEGANISM POSSIBLE IN COLD COUNTRIES LIKE LATVIA? 👀🌱🇦🇹 Short answer: Yes! 😁  I even found nutritional yeast with B12 in Latvia!  It’s great in homemade cheeses like nut-based parmesan, on tofu, or in pastas for umami taste and health. They also sell agar-agar here — a plant-based substitute for gelatin / pig fat, often otherwise used in cakes and much candy. I honestly was worried about being vegan in Latvia. Many people here don’t even know what a vegan is and think you will die without meat protein, sometimes even trying to kindly force you back on meat, like you are the sick one they worry about. But stay strong! 💪 There are vegan sections in bigger shops too, like Maxima or Rimi Hyper . They have big fruit and veggie sections, plenty of herbs, nuts, seeds, and beans — often even a better selection than in Denmark, honestly, and better prices too! They also have Lidl here. And yes, it’s harder without a car in forest areas without bus lines...

What skin color does Jesus really have?  What skin color does Jesus really have? My testimony Natalia Magdalena Botvinjevs, granddaughter of Agnieszka Szmagliska It really does not matter what skin color God’s Spirit manifests in. And yet, when Jesus revealed Himself to me — in spirit, in truth, and in deep knowing — I knew without doubt that He was real. Before any of this happened, I had been praying intensely for years. Not casually, not out of curiosity, but from a place of desperation, longing, and hunger for truth. I prayed for healing. I prayed for understanding. And very often, I prayed to see His face. I was thinking deeply about Jesus — not the Jesus of paintings or church culture, but the real Jesus who walked the earth. I questioned honestly: Was He black? Was He white? What did He truly look like in the flesh? I was not trying to challenge anyone. I was seeking truth directly from God. I read Bible verses about seeing God’s face. I knew I was not perfect. I did...

🌱 Happy New Year! Food for the Spirit, Strength for the Body 🌱 As we step into this New Year, may your first nourishment be food for the spirit — joy, love, and compassion to feed your soul. May your body be strengthened by the gifts of the earth, every seed, fruit, and plant yielding life, health, and vitality. As it is written in Genesis 1:29: “Then God said, ‘Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit; you shall have them for food.’” May you, like Daniel and his companions, choose food that honors your body and spirit, finding strength, clarity, and wisdom in simple, wholesome choices. Reflecting on Daniel 1:12‑16: “Please test your servants for ten days: Give us nothing but vegetables to eat and water to drink… At the end of the ten days they looked healthier and better nourished…” May your year be long, full of health, vitality, and energy, and may your choices cultivate peace in your...
