_______________________________________________________

One afternoon in 1971, I was on a trolley going through Kenmore Square, heading home from school. I was a college Freshman, and, since I was an Art Major, dressed very "avant-guarde" as in "hippie-freak" mode. A woman approached me and put a pocket-sized hardcover book in my hand and said:

"It's All In Here'"

Then she disappeared into the crowded trolley. I stuufed it in my bag to look at later. I expected it to be just another tract from Scientology, the "Children of God", or one of the other cults that were springing up all over Boston.

Later, I took out the book and saw that it was a little complete King James Bible. It was to be the First Bible I ever owned, and I still have it. There was nothing attached or slipped between the pages. The print was pretty small, but I decided to read it, starting in Genesis.

Well, it didn't take long before I slammed into "The Begats" in Genesis. I hadn't even gotten to Noah's Ark and I ran into them. It was a huge roadblock for me at the time, so I decided to switch to the New Testament. Starting in Matthew, I hit another set of "Begats". I became discouraged, and put the Book away, and for another ten years kept on being a sinner.

When I came to Faith in Jesus in 1981, I was given a New Amercan Standard Bible. (that was from YOU, Skip, if you are reading this) The language wasn't that different than the King James, but, for some reason, I had no trouble reading it. I even found myself laughing out loud at some of the things I read. Yes! There is humor and word-play in the Bible. I fished out the little King James Bible that had been gathering dust and opened it up. I had no trouble understanding it. Even "The Begats" made sense. From Genesis to the Gospels, these Genealogies traced the History of a Family and a People, and were MY "Spiritual Ancestors" as well.

According to many Bible Scholars, the Gospel of Matthew was written to a Jewish Audience. It was common knowledge that The Messiah would come from The Tribe of Judah and The House of David. Matthew provides us with the Genealogy of Joseph, who was Jesus's legal father. There is another genealogy in Luke, which most scholars attribute to Mary, the Mother of Jesus. Both go back to Abraham through David, but by different lines.

My little story today illustrates three points:

1. The things of the Spirit are spiritually discerned. The first time I tried to read the KJV, I was not spiritually "right with God". It just seemed like a lot of words to me. As soon as I hit a speed bump, I quit reading.

2. The Word of God does not return void: I didn't throw the Book away when I got stuck reading the Begats. I put it away, and meanwhile, the few things I had read were seeds that were starting to grow.

3. Cast your bread upon the waters: The woman who gave me the Book had no idea how the Book would affect me. She didn't know whether I would keep it or throw it away. Nevertheless, she felt compelled to give it to me, without even expecting a "Thank You."

So here it is, to the Woman on the Kenmore Square Green Line Trolley in 1971:

THANK YOU.

Come and Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem, For Our FRiends in Need, For Persecuted Believers, and For Our Beloved Nation.

Thank You Lord, for the people along the way who planted the seeds, pulled some weeds and prayed for us until we found The Way.

And Father God, thank You so much for the people who put so much love and work into translating the Bible that we may read and understand Your love and sacrifice.

We thank You for those in the mission field, especially those in nations hostile to Christianity. We pray for their protection everyday.

In the name of Jesus
Amen

Psalm 125

A Song of Ascents.

1 Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion,
which cannot be moved, but abides for ever.
2 As the mountains surround Jerusalem,
so the Lord surrounds his people,
from this time on and for evermore.
3 For the sceptre of wickedness shall not rest
on the land allotted to the righteous,
so that the righteous may not stretch out
their hands to do wrong.
4 Do good, O Lord, to those who are good,
and to those who are upright in their hearts.
5 But those who turn aside to their own crooked ways
the Lord will lead away with evildoers.
Peace be upon Israel!

[Jeanbl]

Thank you for your testimony and for the hope it plants in our hearts for our loved ones away from the faith. I remember mocking the “born againers” we called them, till finally the LORD in HIS mercy and compassion revealed to me my only hope of change, for I have been down the worst road I could imagine. I was born again into New Life, Eternal Life, for which I can be forever grateful. Praying for the Peace and Salvation of Jerusalem All Israel, and for our Dear families and friends.
