My Birthday
It was Christmas Eve. Maybe it was Christmas Day. At this point, 52 years later, I don’t remember. But what I do remember, I remember as clearly as it happened a week ago.
A young Jewish man had just finished reading the first few chapters of “The Late Great Planet Earth. The author, Hal Lindsay, had written about the many prophecies in the Jewish Bible that spoke of our Messiah, the One who would save us from the eternal penalty for our sins. The One who would give us a new life. A clean slate. The one who could change our life’s trajectory.
Yes, there they were, prophecies embedded in Psalm 22, and Isaiah 7, and Isaiah 9, and Isaiah 53, and Daniel 7, and Zechariah 9, and Jeremiah 31, and Micah 5 . . ..
On and on and on the prophecies rolled through the Jewish Scriptures like an indestructible crimson thread. There were so many of them that I could not deny the truth. I WOULD NOT deny the truth. I wanted to embrace the truth.
