In the first century A.D. disciples of Yeshua (Jesus) thought it strange when a Gentile came to faith in their Jewish Messiah. Today, Christians are surprised when a Jewish person accepts Jesus as their Savior. The 'Great Commission' was to preach the 'Good News' of the Gospel to the Jew first and also to the Greek (the rest of the world). It should be completely natural for a Jewish person to believe in the Jewish Messiah and unnatural for a Gentile to do so, but somewhere along the way things got turned around. What as great way to start my day. Thank you for giving us some very thought-provoking insights into what it means to worship the One true God. Rev Charlotte Wright Coates First United Methodist Church Fredonia, Kansas How important is it for you to get closer to God? do you hear people speaking about the necessity for a "quiet time" and how it strengthens our relationship with God? The spiritual journey just got a bit easier as Barbara Zebleckis gives us an organized, spirit-led, daily walk with the Lord. Each day you will get great spiritual food for thought, while also being motivated to be consistent. Besides using this Messianic daily devotional for myself, I'll be excited about giving it as a gift in order for family and friends to see their relationship with God get a jumpstart. Steven J.
