Destiny of Christianity. -- Christianity came into existence in order to
lighten the heart; but now it has first to burden the heart so as afterwards to
be able to lighten it. Consequently it shall perish.
from
Nietzsche's Human, all too
Human, s.119, R.J.
Hollingdale transl.
This
quote states that Christianity came about to strengthen a person by enduring
hard times. One must first go through a challenge in order to be rewarded. These
hard times can often lead a person to question their faith but if they remain
true they will be stronger than before. These challenges leads a person to a
future were others and themselves may benefit from it. Many people have lost their
children to cancer and I have had the privilege to meet a women who has lost a
child. Through her experience, many others were able to benefit. She has
created an organization that helps families who are unable to pay medical bills
for their sick child. Although she has questioned her faith during her child's
illness, she was able to pull through and be the change in the world through God
hands.
