Inconceivable?
Then, finally she asked a question that was disturbing her,
and in fact this is one of the hardest questions for most Jewish people
to understand. The question of the virgin birth. She decidedly said,
“I can’t believe in the virgin birth, how
could such a thing be? I can’t accept such a miracle.”
Smiling, I responded, “You know Sarah it is funny that two
Jews should be having a discussion about miracles, because without
miracles we as a Jewish people would not even exist. From the miracle
child of Abraham and Sarah to God preserving us throughout history
despite the anti-Semites, our history is a history of miracles.”
Sarah continued, “Sam, how did you come
to believe that Yeshua is our Messiah?” I shared my personal testimony
of faith in Yeshua. I encouraged Sarah to put her trust in the promises
that God has given to our people; these very promises were fulfilled in
Yeshua’s coming and giving His life as the ultimate atonement for our
sins. As we departed I offered her
The Messianic Answer Book that could answer even more questions.
We parted with a friendly hug as she
promised to read the book and send me her questions.
God Answers Prayers
Linda, Sarah’s co-worker, who invited Sarah to come to church, later
told me how she has been praying and ministering to Sarah. This day was
a special day, because she saw God answering her prayers. She was so
encouraged that Sarah accepted an invitation to come to the service,
Linda excitedly shared, “Sarah also told me that she would meet with
another Jewish believer to find out more! I think God is really working
in her life, Sam!” Let’s continue to lift up Sarah in our prayers that
she will find her answers in Messiah. We are so thankful for people like
Linda who are reaching out with God’s love.
