The WOW Factor

The introduction is complete and page one of Chapter Four is about to begin. The last 6 months were spent planning, moving, and adjusting to our new surroundings. In other words; culture shock. Besides our time in Africa where we expected to experience culture shock, we have experienced this before. Over the last 37 years, we have come to realize the uniqueness of each State within the USA and New Jersey is no different. I can only say that the friendliness of the people of South Jersey has been overwhelming and I'm loving the availability of fresh fruits, veggies and fish. Now as we move into our new home it becomes final. No turning back.

In Day 31 of our study of 365 Jesus, John introduces Jesus as the Lamb of God. That phrase always send chills up my back. Picture yourself as a godly Jewish person who was truly looking for the Messiah. The Old Testament predicted that is would happen soon and then you hear about someone preaching down by the river. You go to the river and in a distance you see this man walking toward the preacher. Then the preacher says "Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!"Could it really be true? Is this really the Messiah? You watch and listen you hear about a voice from heaven saying "This is my beloved son in whom I am well pleased" and you sing in your heart "the Messiah has come." What joy, what hope, what overwhelming gratitude to the Lord for allowing you to see this day.

But what do I do now? tomorrow? how do I live my everyday life?

Then comes Day 34:  Mary had a great solution. Her belief in her son as the Messiah prompted her to express to those around her and to us

DO WHAT HE TELLS YOU TO DO!

"It is His business to lead, command, impel, send, call, or whatever you want to call it. It is your business to obey, follow, move, respond, or what have you." Jim Elliott
