081 Joshua 13 – 15; Mark 3

"And the land had rest from war." is almost an unbelievable statement. If anyone knows the history of this land it is known that war is the rule not peace. Come to think of it, there has not been much peace in many of the lands of the world. One day peace will come to the Middle East and it will come through Jesus Christ. Peace will come because Jesus will impose His will on the world; that is the only way that it will ever be achieved.

Okay, take out a piece of paper and name the twelve apostles. No, it is not an open book test. Think about it just for a moment because these are the guys that changed the world forever. Can you name them?

Jesus called them first to be with Him. It is after they are with Him that He is to send them out to preach. I met a completed Hebrew this past week and I asked him what clicked for him to come to Christ? He said, "When I finally understood it was a relationship with Christ and not some religion." Christ called the apostles to Himself. Jesus has called you to Himself so spend some time with Him.
