What is the difference between Jew and Christians? We all await the Messiah. You believe He has already come and gone, while we do not. I therefore propose that we await Him together. And when He appears, we can ask Him: were You here before?

About This Quote

In the Book of Acts, chapter 18, we read about Ananias and Sapphira. They lied about the amount of money they had given to the church and were struck dead for their actions. This story is a lesson in God’s love and grace: “And it came to pass, as they went through the city, that they caused as it were a fire to go before them: and it burned all the streets where they were come down, and them that met them; and when they were come to the house of Judas called Barsabbas, they went in and rested. And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples, and said, (the number of names with them was about an hundred and twenty,) For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ: but were eyewitnesses of his majesty. For he received from God the Father honor and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory: For this cause we are also his witnesses unto these things, because we both have been some time with him, and know what assuredly he did." - Acts Chapter 18 verse 26-31
