Hilter & the Holocaust
I've been doing a bit of reading on Hilter and the Holocaust after a recent visit to Terezin, a ghetto and concentration camp in Czekoslovakia. The more I read about Hilter and the Nazis, the more I couldn't get over not only the cruelty, but the extent of their destruction and disregard for human lives. But at the same time, it doesn't cease to amaze me how one man could have such impact in the world. All because of his ideology, passion, focus and determination to fulfill his mission. In the same way, I wonder how much God can use and do through us to impact the lives of many if we have the same passion and determination that Hilter exhibits. Of course, in this case to fulfill God's plan.
In one of the documentaries that I watched, a German civilian asked a SS officer how he could do that (meaning killing the Jews). His reply was "We are Fuhrer's faithful servant. For Fuhrer, we will do even more terrible things". Put it in the Christian context, can we say we are God's faithful servant and do things that we find difficult because God asks us to and because of our love for Him?
