Our fast-paced world can be downright dizzying during the holiday season. Have you ever paused from all the distractions to ask yourself, ‘Why am I doing all of this?’ It may sound cliché, but sometimes, we need to take a deep breath and remember the reason we are celebrating.
Elize and I recently hosted a Palestinian Christian in our home. We discussed what it was like for her growing up Christian in the West Bank and having accepted a Jewish Messiah, and I talked about what it is like to be a Jew who follows Jesus as the Messiah! We saw a glimpse of what heaven will be like: Jew and Gentile together in perfect harmony, bending the knee before Yeshua.
As the war in Israel continues without a clear path forward, I find myself turning to Scripture, where we find the One who can bring true and lasting peace. To help us communicate Messiah’s gospel of peace to our people in Israel, we created over 60 Scripture-based animated videos.
The Lord’s calling for Israel as a nation is to be a ‘light to the nations’ (Isaiah 42:6), but this past year has been a very dark time for Israel and our Jewish people.
