We Will Not Back Off from One Fact
By Frank Eiklor
Think about it! No wonder authentic believers in Jesus are
misunderstood, feared, mocked and hated (sometimes all at the same time) by
many of the world’s "smart people.” "You Christians think you have a corner on
truth and that your way is the only way. That’s why we despise you.”
Jesus forever drew the line in the sand with "I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE.”
Well, let’s be honest. We respect all people in all
religions. We love all people unconditionally, whether or not they ever embrace
our belief system. And we will stand for justice for any individual who suffers
injustice. But we cannot—indeed will not—back off from one fact. We do not
merely claim a corner on truth, but all four corners, the whole house, really.
When Pilate asked Jesus "What is truth?” he was looking Truth in the eye. Jesus
forever drew the line in the sand with "I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE.”
God gives more than mere human arguments
For those of us bold enough to confess that Jesus Christ is
incomparable, alive and returning to judge the world, God gives more than mere
human arguments. He grants "mighty signs and wonders by the Spirit of God”
(Paul in Romans 15:19) in our relationships with other people who are desperate
for help and find it in Jesus. That is why there is no stopping the awesome
wave of the gospel of Yeshua that is building to a worldwide tsunami.
Every time the Shalom team is in Israel we sense the
past footsteps of prophets, kings and our Savior and anticipate the future
landing of the King of kings on the Mount of Olives.
...in Arab Bethlehem, one Arab Christian leader took me aside and said,
"We need your message of unconditional love...
It is not easy for Jews or Arabs to love Jesus in Israel. Messianic
Jews suffer from Jews and Christian Arabs from Muslims. In Arab countries it is
far worse as Arab believers in Jesus pay in blood for their allegiance to the
Lord. While in Arab Bethlehem, one Arab Christian leader took me aside and said,
"We need your message of unconditional love in this city.”
My great burden is for the young "Joshua” generation. As of this writing, our
worldwide school of leadership now numbers almost 50,000 disciples. Picture
these being used by God to demonstrate His delivering, healing and saving power
from Jerusalem to all nations. If you and I pray, God can do that…and a whole
lot more!
Your prayers and financial support are so
important. To put it straight…we
need you,
