I find it fascinating how the history of the world is so extremely related to the Bible. We have been studing the history of the Bible from Genesis through Joshua this year in school. We started of course with the creation of the world and moved into how the old kingdom and the middle kingdom are related to the stories in Genesis chapters 3-21. We have just finished with the birth of Isaac and this morning Sierra made a wonderful observation. She said it was just so amazing how Jesus and David are related in the family tree. We spent several weeks studying the family line of Adam, Noah and Abraham, along with David. I find it amazing how even the women of the Bible and our secular history of Egypt had a role in the life of Jesus. The beliefs of many gods and the worship of gods in Egypt is quite astounding. As we study the different beliefs other cultures have had, I find it impossible to understand how they could not believe in the one true God based on all the evidence in the Bible and in the world today. There are so many truths and prophesies that have come true over the hundreds of years even before Jesus walked the earth and yet the cultures refused to accept the truth.
As we head into the Christmas season, I am humbled to think that God is so willing to forgive us and have a relationship with us if we would only believe. As our family thinks about the upcoming events that will be celebrated this Christmas, our prayer is that you and your family will also feel the forgiveness and acceptance from God that He so badly wants to share with us all. If you know someone or perhaps even you, yourself have not been able to come to the decision to accept the saving forgiveness God is offering you this Christmas, please don't wait any longer. Make that decision today and begin a new year not only in life but in your spiritual journey to Holiness. God is waiting for you to ask, He is holding out His hand hoping you will accept His greatest gift this season. Our prayers are with you all!
