Her friend's name is Eduardo and he knew of God, but was confused as to whether or not he even believed in the existence of God. However, God had been working on him; he came with a desire to learn more. This morning Joyce, Fabi, Mauricio, Andrea, and myself all sat down with Eduardo and 1st talked about nature and how the perfect fit of everything together had to point to a higher power...someone had to put all this together. Eduardo was able to agree with that and we called that higher power God. From there we went through the gospel starting with Genesis 1, creation, the garden, Adam & Eve, the fall, and the resultant curse upon the earth and the sin nature in all of us. We talked our way through the sacrificial systems of the Old Testament and finally came to Jesus and His work on the cross and the following resurrection. We told him of the free gift of Jesus and that it could be his if he chose it, if he ask for it, if he could confess it and believe it. After quite a few questions he decided that gift of the cross sounded like something he wanted in his life.
And so today, Palm Sunday, Eduardo was ushered in through the Lamb's gate, his name was etched in the book of life and there was a grand celebration in heaven for one its' newest members! Thank you Jesus for this precious gift!
Eduardo is now one of us!!!
