Message—Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem

Several popular Christmas songs talk about the concept of peace on earth. And whether you’re religious, spiritual, or secular we all have the same longing for peace. However, there isn’t peace on earth, and the idea of it seems to be more elusive by the day as we hear about tragedy after tragedy on the news. Is this really the peace on earth that was supposed to come with the birth of Christ? Looking through the perspective of Psalm 122:6, we see that the Prince of Peace, Jesus Christ, will return and Jerusalem will be the focal point of where God will administer peace globally to a world longing for it.

Apples of Gold–”Food For Thought” (@18:54)

While working near the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, Zvi comes into contact with several students. The students, due to their studies at such a fine school, often try to sound intelligent and boast about the great and famous names that they know of. However, Zvi explains that men such as Shakespeare, Tolstoi, and Einstein were simply gifted but not great. In all circumstances, Zvi tells the students to call on God; the only one who can give them everything they need in life and the only one who can save their eternal souls.
