In church today, there was a sharing on a
short mission in Dubai. I felt especially strongly about the worship song
because it uses a verse which I chose for my father's funeral 4 years ago, and
embarked on my journey at Morling College straight after: Very truly I tell
you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a
single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. (John 12:24)
Whenever I hear messages about missions or
the Middle East, I feel an extra burden. Today, I also realised that one of the
biggest hidden cross in the world is in Dubai in Burj Al Arab!
“The locals accusing the British man of
hidden intentions noticed that in 2004 the image of the building was eliminated
from the car license plates of Dubai. The authorities have not given any
explanation, and neither had the architect, so the whole story is shrouded in
mystery.”
This has reminded of something from last
year: What does the symbol of the cross mean?
