And share the word of Christ, for some reason I was under the
impression it would be safe to do so over there. My desire to
do so is now greater than before.
I was speaking with a lady over the phone the other day who
attended a Christian School there. She also lived there for some time
afterwards while we were talking I learned that missionaries are
not welcome in Israel I asked why is that and she proceeded to share
with me that Christians are highly persecuted over there,as well
as Messianic Jews if not more so. I couldn't believe what I was
hearing.
I have always wondered why God has given me such a heavy heart
for his people and why I have always wanted to go there, not just to
visit or walk where Jesus walked but to serve over there. Now I
understand a little more of what he is preparing me for.
I know Jewish people don't like Christians much but I thought
it had to do with the history of the most recent events. I didn't
realize that they were still living out the old testament.
I want to thank Jesus for opening my eyes so I have a clearer
picture of what to pray for. Not just for the peace of Jerusalem,
also for their acceptance of God's Son JESUS CHRIST.
