I really didn't expect to hear a sermon about Jesus and Mary given by an imam on Easter Sunday!
This sermon made me realize how the many assumptions I had made about Islam were wrong and unfounded (i.e. Islam downplays the importance of Jesus in the history of the work of God),
and how, when we get to the core of faith, Islam shares so much with Christianity.


"A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another."
(NIV, John 13:34-35)


What does it matter what they look like, what language they speak, or whether they wear a headscarf,.. if they strive to live by God's word?

We worship the same God, for there is only one true God.
