By its very nature Christianity is a prime mover rather than information, and as such it can liberate man from the fear of oblivion. Where does this thought originate from? First of all, from the Gospels. It is there that we find people whom Jesus Christ delivers from a desperate struggle to get noticed. His remembering people saves them. The Good Thief, who begs Christ with the words: “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom…” (Luke 23, 42), experiences the power of the answer. The remembering God is the God who redeems us from the fear of a wasted life. The women who followed and accompanied Jesus, although they maintained a low profile, were free from the fear of being forgotten.
