REAL LIFE — A sign from heaven?

Anyo­ne fami­li­ar with the life sto­ry of Phil­ipp Micken­be­cker († 09.06.2021) knows that he wis­hed for auro­ras on his trip to Ice­land. Locals said that it was very unli­kely at this time of year. But Phil­ip asked God to send him auro­ras as a sign that he heard him. And sud­den­ly, auro­ras appeared unex­pec­ted­ly.

Phil­ip inter­pre­ted the sign as con­fir­ma­ti­on that God would heal him. Alt­hough he lived so long despi­te his can­cer, he died. And the legi­ti­ma­te ques­ti­on is: was it just a coin­ci­dence or a sign from God? But on the day of the world pre­mie­re (18.09.23) of “Real life” of all days, auro­ras could be seen over Ger­ma­ny.

I was very touch­ed when I heard about it. I see it as God’s loving con­fir­ma­ti­on that he real­ly show­ed Phil­ipp through the auro­ras that he was the­re. I see the fact that the auro­ras were visi­ble at the pre­mie­re of all times as a loving sign from God, which can per­haps be inter­pre­ted in this way: “Even if it tur­ned out dif­fer­ent­ly than Phil­ipp had hoped: I was always the­re. — God”. I can­not under­stand Philip’s death, but I reco­gni­ze that God has touch­ed mil­li­ons of peo­p­le through Philip’s life and death and wants to invi­te them to get to know him per­so­nal­ly and expe­ri­ence his love, which goes bey­ond death. Jesus pro­mi­ses: “I am the resur­rec­tion and the life. He who belie­ves in me will live, even if he dies” (The Bible: John 11 ver­se 25). Jesus is just a pray­er away. Here you can find out more about how you can invi­te him into your life.
