The Birth of Ben Hur

Sunday, December 6, 2020

Two men were once on a train discussing the life of Messiah. Both were unbelievers. One of them suggested that the other should write a book to disprove the Gospel. The man who made the suggestion was Colonel Ingersoll, a famous atheist. And the man who wrote the book was Lew Wallace, a general in the Civil War. Wallace was set on tearing down Jesus. But as he set out to write his book, he became more and more convinced that Jesus was true. And so instead of attacking Messiah, the book ended up lifting him up. The book was called "Ben Hur." And through the book, and later the movies, millions would see Jesus as the Son of God. It just goes to show you, if God can take an attack against Jesus and turn it into "Ben Hur" how much more will He work all things in your life for good. So be blessed and give thanks, even for the problems and even those things the enemy meant for evil... for, in the end, they will all be used for your good and His glory - just like Ben Hur.
