Hello my fellow people of the world



Okay so… WOW! These last few weeks have been so crazy and exciting. We’ve talked to so many different people with a myriad of opinions.

On one day, specifically, we talked to a Jewish man who was very open to speak to us and listen to what we had to say. Our question that day was: “Who is Jesus Christ?” or “What is truth?” His answer concerning Jesus was that he was a very good Jewish man, but was not the messiah. We went on to ask if he believed in the bible as God’s Holy word. He said yes, which led us to ask if he believed that the messiah (since he believed that Jesus wasn’t the messiah) has come or will come? His response was that he didn’t believe that Messiah has come and, even went further to say the Messiah will never come. I was astounded by this because if the Jewish man believed in the Bible as God’s Holy Word, then He should have believed; 1) that the Messiah had already come, or 2) the Messiah was still coming back. The truth is that the Messiah has already come and his name is Jesus.

It breaks my heart to know that many people believe in God’s word as Holy and True, yet do not acknowledge it in their lives. It breaks my heart even more because they do not know of the abundant love of God that is right in front of their eyes. This is revealed in every page of His word and creation, and is shown through His one and only son Jesus, who came to our sinful and shameful world to die for you and me. Yes, Jesus died for you and me, who were made by Him for His glory, that we may have a purposeful life here on earth and one in eternity.

Love Anna,
