Surprising News from Gaza

Here’s a video to brighten your day.

The Messianic ministry One for Israel teaches about Jesus in Israel. When you watch their videos, you will usually see Jewish men teaching. Nonetheless, they reach out to Arabs, too. They produce videos in Arabic, and some of the people who testify in their conversion videos are Arabs.

They say they have gotten a great response in Gaza, a place known for irrational hatred of Jews and Christians. How about that?

People ask why there can’t be peace in the Middle East. The reason is that Arabs and Jews reject Jesus. He is the only source of unity in the universe. When people from groups that battle each other over religion come to worship the same God, with the same doctrine, in the same houses of worship, they become brothers. It happens here in the United States. Go to a charismatic church, and you will probably see a mixture of races.

The video I’m embedding is a short report on the successes of One for Israel’s ministry.

Peace isn’t coming to the Middle East. Things are going to get worse, because most people there will continue to reject Jesus and the Holy Spirit. But there is no reason why thousands or millions can’t be drawn aside, made parts of the same family, and removed from the conflict.
