Mr. Trump! May I call you Donald?I saw you on the news tonight, here in Norway. Yes, you are all over now, isn’t it exciting!?

I saw you with your bible, well, I guess it was your bible, maybe you had to borrow one. One man at your age, his name is Joe, told you to open the bible as well. That made me think. Maybe you are not familiar with everything in it? Let me tell you some fake news (kidding!) about it.

There are two main parts in the bible. The old and the new testament.I think you will love the old testament. There is a lot of action and killing in the old testament, a lot of sex and lies and a lot of cracks where the light gets in, if you know what I mean.

In the new testament everything is different. This testament actually starts at the beginning of our time, so it is easy to remember how long ago things took place. It is actually approximately 2000 years ago. No kidding!

The new testament is mainly about Jesus. The first chapters are written directly about him. But about half the testament is written by one man. And he was quite like you. He was a law and order-guy. Actually he was an expert reading the old testament, and knew everything there was to know about how to please God before Jesus was born.

But this man, named Saul, (you see why I want to call you Donald, everybody used their first name) he tried to stop all kinds of riot emerging from the Jesus-people. Quite a paralell, isnt’ it? He was very good at this.

One day he met Jesus. That should not be possible, because Jesus had been long gone for years. But on this day he took Saul by suprise when Saul was riding his horse in the desert. He fell off his horse, blinded by the light from the sky, and when he was lying on the sand he heard Jesus say: “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?”

Today I was thinking like this: What would Jesus say to you, if you suddenly fell off your horse? Maybe he would borrow one of the best quotes from Paul? (That was Sauls name after this incident) I hope he would have chosen something like this. I really think it wraps things up. I hope you pardon my french. Or something like that. This is not my native tongue.

When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child.

When I became a man, I gave up childish ways.

For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face.

Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known.

So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three;

but the greatest of these is love.
