Rescued from the Reich

 A Rabbi who came to know Yeshua as Messiah has had a book published in English, whose title is the title of this post.  In it he points out the 7 benefits of his being rounded up during the Nazi time and put in a holding area with many other Jews. 

1)  We should never say, "This is mine."

2) We are all equal.  (The lie of wealthy vs. poor is stripped in such situations)

3) Humility is taught in such situations.

4) It removes the fact that we pay too much attention to food.

5) Suffering washes our souls, it has a purpose and it lifts us above pettiness.

6) Our appreciation and gratitude for the smallest things grows when we are suffering.

7) Experiencing hunger, makes you know what that feels like and helps you understand.

In conclusion we must draw the appropriate lessons from the misfortune.
