Gelio's question
Gelio is working hard to put the pieces together. Each day he comes up with new questions, and last week he had an extremely insightful one.
The Akolet man in Papua New Guinea was working with Adam Martin, going over the Bible lesson to be taught that day.
"I’m really confused," Gelio said. "You’re saying that God can’t be with anything that’s not perfect. And Adam and Eve -- and all of us as well -- sinned. But that somehow there’s a Rescuer that’s going to come and rescue us. So how is He going to rescue us? We’re already sinners. And we can’t be with God. How will He help us humans?"
Adam Martin said, "That question is pretty much the whole reason we’ve come to live with you and bring you this message. Keep coming and you will learn the answer."
Later, Adam’s co-worker, Ryan Warner, asked Gelio, "So what is this new teaching like to you?"
Gelio said very solemnly, "Ryan, it’s like this. Remember that cake you gave me one time? This teaching is like that cake. I’ve never tasted anything like it, and it is so delicious."
Please pray that Gelio and others who attend the teaching will continue to come faithfully to hear about the Rescuer who can answer Gelio’s question.
