Messianic Testimony . . .

On Monday past we had the pleasure of Tom Mayr-Lori of Messianic Testimony. Although i missed much of his time speaking to us (i was speaking with engineers and trying to fix my machine), what i heard and what others reported afterward was exceedingly intruiging.

 

Tom's testimony is available online. But as a flavour i thought i'd draw out some extracts:

 

"The Mayr-Lori’s, an orthodox Jewish family, arrived in Israel in 1938, fleeing from Hitler’s Germany. They brought two children from Germany and a third, Tom, was born in Israel."

 

". . . as a volunteer in the Israel Defence Force (IDF), the Six-Day War brought me up with a jolt – men had died in their tanks. I suddenly became terribly afraid to die. I knew that I could not stand before a Holy God, the God of my childhood and my fathers."

 

". . . the presence of God gripped me as I recognised the truth. I found a quiet spot and read the words from the New Testament, ‘If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness’ (1 John 1:9)."
