I think we live at a time when we increasingly need to witness to the World as Christians. We are "persecuted" by the new culture of abortion, homosexuality, euthanasy,and other so called reforms, which are not conform to Christ teaching. So we need to be encouraged by his example in order to live a life and to voice opinions which bring out the light og God to the world. The world starts of course by our fanily, friends colleagues, neighbourhood.
