The restaurant wasn't busy; there was only one table filled. And the foreigners at the table seemed pretty interesting, so the Egyptian waiter, himself a foreigner in the country, came over to talk with them.
Somehow they started talking about sacrifice, and the waiter got very excited. "I already know all about that stuff! We have a holiday in Egypt every year just to sacrifice a lamb for sins. But if you're rich enough, you can buy a cow which is big enough to cover the sins of seven families!"
One of the foreigners told him, "I know about a sacrifice that's much bigger and better than a cow or a sheep. It's big enough to cover the sins of the whole world."
The waiter was confused. "I've never heard of something like that. What on earth could be that big? Something like that would have to come down from God himself!"
The foreigner started to explain how Jesus was the perfect sacrifice, but the waiter stopped him. "Everyone knows the Bible has been changed, corrupted, so this amazing sacrifice can't be true."
The foreigner said, "But God himself approved of this sacrifice of Jesus. We know that because both Muslims and Christians believe that Jesus ascended into heaven. How could God allow Jesus to rise to heaven if his sacrificial death wasn't acceptable?"
The waiter smiled thoughtfully.
Prayer Request:
- Cry Out for the waiter to take these truths into his heart and accept Christ's perfect sacrifice for his sins.
- Cry Out for this prayer initiative to reach those in these countries.
- Cry Out that we get more prayer partners interested in this initiative.
