The Best Story Ever Told!

The High Priest is Alive...pt. 1


A bit of Old Testament History:

The Jewish nation had a temple. This temple had an inner part called the Holy of Holies. No one was to enter this part of the temple, except one day per year: The Day of Atonement. This was the day that the High Priest would enter into the Holy of Holies to present a sacrifice to the Lord. This sacrifice was to atone (cleanse) the sins of the entire Jewish nation.

"To the high priest alone it was permitted to enter the holy of holies, which he did only once a year, on the great Day of Atonement, for "the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest" (Hebrews 9; 10). Wearing his gorgeous priestly vestments, he entered the temple before all the people, and then, laying them aside and assuming only his linen garments in secret, he entered the Holy of Holies alone, and made expiation, sprinkling the blood of the sin offering on the mercy seat, and offering up incense. Then resuming his splendid robes, he reappeared before the people
(Lev. 16)." (christiananswers.net)

Hearing for the First Time

This video is from a missionary friend of mine in Paraguay:



Hearing for the first time! Did you see the look on his face when he heard his first sounds?

I can't help but think about hearing the Gospel-the message of Jesus Christ. Having grown up in a Chrisitan Culture, in a Chrisitan Home the message was always around me. What is is like to hear the message for the first time? I think the look would be similar to that of Jorge's.

What a privilege it would be to go to a part of the world where the Gospel has not been heard...and to be there when they hear it for the first time!
