In his book Life Sentence, Chuck Colson tells about trying to win a Jewish lawyer friend to Christ. He had tried again and again to find an opening—a way to introduce the subject of Christ so he could share the Lord with this Jewish lawyer friend. Finally one night at a dinner engagement the opportunity came, and much to his surprise, the lawyer friend by the name of Miron said, “Why Chuck, I already believe in Christ because of my Jewish background. I’ve been reading the Old Testament and I noticed that it stops a few hundred years before Jesus was born. Now, if Jesus weren’t the Messiah, wouldn’t God have gone on revealing himself to us in the present as he did in the past? The way I figure it, the Old Testament stopped because Jesus was the Messiah.”
