The Masai Creed (1960)--Claudia M. (Congregation is encouraged to read aloud on mute setting)
We believe in the one High God, who out of
love created the beautiful world and everything good in it. He created
Man and wanted Man to be happy in the world. God loves the world and every
nation and tribe
on the Earth. We have known this High God in darkness, and now we know
Him in the light. God promised in the book of His word, the Bible, that He
would save the world and all the nations and tribes.
We believe that God made good His promise by sending His Son, Jesus Christ, a man in the flesh, a Jew by tribe, born poor in a little village, who left His home and was always on safari doing good, curing people by the power of God, teaching about God and man, showing the meaning of religion is love. He was rejected by His people, tortured and nailed hands and feet to a cross, and died. He lay buried in the grave, but the hyenas did not touch Him, and on the third day, He rose from the grave. He ascended to the skies. He is the Lord.
We believe that all our sins are forgiven through Him. All who have faith in Him must be sorry for their sins, be baptized in the Holy Spirit of God, live the rules of love and share the bread together in love, to announce the Good News to others until Jesus comes again. We are waiting for Him. He is alive. He lives. This we believe. Amen.
