But there is always hope.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t want to be overly optimistic but I think there is more happening in terms of Christian mission at European universities now than there was five years ago. And equally, there was more happening five years ago than 10 years prior to that.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA continued proclamation of the gospel is needed\u201d, he added. \u201cEurope needs a prophetic declaration of the gospel afresh today.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Not in my\u00a0city<\/h3>\n<p>Referring to Jonah, the repentance of Nineveh, and God\u2019s subsequent forgiveness of the people, Michael said:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne of the European narratives is that a revival like Nineveh can\u2019t happen here. We sort of think \u2018Well, it happens there but not in my city, or it happens in my city but not in my group.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy hope would be that we would not just pray, but actually have the motivation to pray.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe see that Jonah\u2019s problem is not so much one of belief in God, but one of belief in the goodness of God.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This represents a parallel today with those who question a God who loves unconditionally but also judges his people. This sees Christians increasingly coming up against a strong wave of secularist thinking, Michael added.<\/p>\n<h3>Prevalence of a victim\u00a0culture<\/h3>\n<p>One aspect of this secularist wave working its way across Europe can be seen by the current prevalence of a victim culture.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is one of the largest cultural shifts I\u2019ve ever seen\u201d Michael said. \u201cWe are increasingly living in a victim culture driven by a sense of injustice.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn victim cultures, the tendency to exaggerate pain or suffering is very high. We get status in society by being victims, and we define ourselves by the pain.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added that those who identify as \u2018victims\u2019 understand dialogue only in terms of a reaction of love or hate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you disagree with someone, that can only be explained by the fact you must hate them. Therefore, society is divided into two groups: either you are being oppressed, or you are the oppressor. This is why so many Christian voices have gone silent for fear of being seen as oppressors.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut if we buy into this kind of thinking then it\u2019s the end of academia. The concept of university is born out of the idea that we can disagree with one another. And so we need to learn how to disagree.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Michael drew a parallel between this trend of victim groups across Europe, and Jonah\u2019s mission to Nineveh. At the time, Nineveh was one of the centres of evil in a domineering Assyrian empire. Jonah was afraid of confronting such a force, and wanted God to destroy the empire rather than forgive it, Michael said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne of the key aspects of a victim culture therefore, is that you don\u2019t have the right to speak about my problems unless you share my background.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Such a narrative has cut to the heart of society, including politics, with leaders not wanting to point the finger, Michael said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the past, political leaders could at look at society and say what happened to you was wrong, and we should fix it. But also challenge people about where they were going wrong.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGreat political leaders are bigger than the politics of their time\u200a\u2014\u200abut where are such leaders today? The kind of people who are bigger than the issue?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Politicians afraid at the thought of offending are now doing the maths and advocating the complaints of various victim groups in order to clinch votes, he added.<\/p>\n<h3>Looking ahead with eyes of\u00a0faith<\/h3>\n<p>Michael, who is also joint director of the Oxford Centre for Christian Apologetics, still believes passionately that a faithful Christian witness in the student world can make a significant impact in the years ahead.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I think about the next few years across Europe, my hope is that there would be a lot more Christian students across the region\u2019s universities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe <em>Presence<\/em> conference was full of an amazing sense of optimism\u200a\u2014\u200anot always typical of an evangelism conference\u200a\u2014\u200aand I\u2019m hoping it really resources students.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Moving beyond our grievances and embodying the key elements of the gospel\u200a\u2014\u200alove, reconciliation and forgiveness\u200a\u2014\u200aoffers the hope of change.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe power of forgiveness can change a society\u201d he said. \u201cForgiveness is easy in the abstract, but very difficult in practice.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Respond<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Who are the people in your life that you find hardest to forgive?<\/li>\n<li>Do you have a heart for those who have wronged you to come to know the Lord?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":515,"template":"","area":[],"theme":[],"class_list":["post-21","conexion","type-conexion","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Jonah\u2019s journey: lessons of hope for Europe today &#183; IFES Conexi\u00f3n Blog<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"A conversation with Michael\u00a0Ramsden \u201cWe desperately need a prophetic declaration of the gospel today.
