The Perfect Gift of Love

Love - The Perfect Bond of Unity
Colossians 3:14

The holiday season often brings families together with joy and festive activities. Special foods, fun, and gifts grace the gatherings. While speaking with a dear friend about the holidays, the subject of unresolved issues and hurt when dealing with family arose and in that moment I realized, the overarching theme of this season is LOVE. The LOVE I’m referring to speaks truth, forgives, forgets, and covers a multitude of sin. This is “The Perfect Gift” for both spiritual and physical families. It is the perfect bond of unity. The Lord calls us, in Colossians, to use LOVE as the binding for all other virtues, which will ignite unity among the body of believers.

Our ministry has been commissioned by our Lord to exemplify love in His spiritual family by bridging the gap between Jewish and non-Jewish Believers. The body of believers has been conditioned to go our separate ways when we have differences. What will it take to bring us together? The answer is LOVE! Our goal is to use God’s LOVE to promote His will to see us in unity as expressed in John 17:20-21. We have plans for various events and service projects that will promote this unifying LOVE and supportWith your help we intend to unify the body of believers with power and vigor in 2020!

Coach Bill McCartney said, “Raleigh I am praying that 2020 will be the best year ever for The Road to Jerusalem!”

Will you prayerfully consider a generous year-end gift to The Road to Jerusalem? We will start in San Diego and end in Jerusalem in 2020.

Happy Hanukkah and Merry Christmas!
