wants to destroy the Jewish people to prevent God’s promises
from unfolding. This should motivate us to pray for the peace
of Jerusalem and to remember His grace in the midst of life’s
difficulties.
These stories reveal sparks of grace during the worst of times
that I hope will show you God’s faithfulness even in the midst of
humanity’s darkest hour. We must never lose hope as He is still
Lord and in control, even though humans and Satan himself are
guiding humankind on a path to total destruction.
In reading these stories, you might very well be brought to tears.
I was! I also hope you discover the Lord of all comfort who will
point your heart and soul to His goodness and the salvation He
brings through the death and resurrection of His only begotten
Son. If we learn one thing from the cross, it is that great suffering
leads to even greater glory.
God’s best for Israel and the Jewish people is still ahead,
as Paul promised,
For I do not want you, brethren, to be uninformed of this
mystery—so that you will not be wise in your own estimation—
that a partial hardening has happened to Israel until the
fullness of the Gentiles has come in; and so all Israel will be
saved; just as it is written. (Romans 11:25–26)
In His grace,
