When I was Muslim, I used to ask Christians:
โIf Jesus was really God, why did He eat, sleep, and bleed like us?โ
And honestly, I used to ask it with pride like it was some unbeatable argument.
But later I realized something:
That question was not exposing Christianity.
It was exposing my misunderstanding of what kind of God Jesus claimed to be.
Because the real question is not:
โWhy would God become weak?โ
The real question is:
โWhat kind of God would willingly step into human suffering at all?โ
Islam taught me about a God who was distant and untouchable.
But Christianity introduced me to a God who stepped into hunger, exhaustion, grief, pain, betrayal, blood, and suffering with us.
And suddenly His humanity stopped feeling like weakness to me.
It became proof of love.
If Jesus ate, it means He came close enough to experience hunger beside us.
If He slept, it means He embraced the exhaustion we carry.
If He bled, it means He did not stand above suffering watching us from a distance.
He entered it Himself.
Philippians 2 says Christ emptied Himself and took on flesh.
Not because He stopped being God, but because He wanted humanity to finally see what God is actually like.
And it turns out God is willing to suffer for the people He loves.
That changed everything for me.
Because every other religion demanded sacrifice from humanity.
Jesus became the sacrifice Himself.
And no prophet in history ever claimed that.
๐จA Message From Legend Wenger To The Family.
My dear Arsenal family,
๐ฃ๏ธFootball can be the most beautiful thing in the world, and also the cruellest. Yesterday we saw both.
๐ฃ๏ธI watched our players give everything on that pitch in Budapest their hearts, their souls, their intelligence. They played with the spirit that has defined this club for so long: courage, technical quality, and a refusal to give up even when the moments became difficult. Kaiโs early goal, the way we controlled large parts of the gameโฆ we were so close again. So very close.
๐ฃ๏ธI know how much this hurts. I felt it myself in 2006. That pain is real because the love is real. When you care as deeply as we do at Arsenal, defeat in a final cuts to the bone. But please, do not let this moment define the season or the progress we have made. This team has brought the club back to the very highest level. They have consistency, they have character, and they have shown they belong among Europeโs elite.
๐ฃ๏ธTo the players: hold your heads high. You have made us proud. To Mikel and the staff: you have built something special keep believing, keep building. To the fans who travelled and those watching everywhere: your support was magnificent, as always. You are the soul of this club.
๐ฃ๏ธI had so hoped to be with you on the streets of north London for the parade, to see the smiles, the flags, the pride in every face. But sadly I wonโt be able to attend. Travel and health make it difficult at this time. Still, know that my heart will be right there with every single one of you, cheering, singing, and remembering how far we have come together.
๐ฃ๏ธThe trophy is still missing from the Emirates, yes. But the journey to get there has been magnificent, and the story is not finished. We have come so far. Pain today, but hope and pride forever.
We will rise again. Because that is who we are.
Thank you, and I love this club with all my heart.
Arsรจne Wenger โค๏ธ
