They came bearing spices. Grief-stricken, the women wished to honor their Lord, Yeshua (Jesus). When they arrived at the tomb, the earth shook and a blindingly bright light appeared.

As it says in Psalm 118:8, “It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in man.” In the news, interesting developments continue to come out of the Abraham Accords.

“Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.”” Romans 12:12 NIV I hope you find great encouragement in the words of the verse above. No matter what we are experiencing or what is happening in our world, because of what Jesus has done for each one of us, we can “be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.” Again this week there is much to share on countries seeking to normalize ties with Israel. There are further developments with both Sudan and Saud...
