Magi's Journal--Final Entry

Home


Bethlehem, Jerusalem, the mountains, and the desert are all behind us. Though it is in the distant horizon, I see our city, home! Shouts rang from our caravan the instant the city came into view.


What our future holds for us when we reach home, I can’t say. We are no longer the same men as when we left.


We have had little time to think of our future for we have driven our caravan, with little mercy, to ensure our escape. Seeing home makes the struggles worthwhile.


We have pledged to share what we have experienced. Whether others will welcome our message is really of little concern to us. We must still share this message.


When we started this journey we did not know what would happen to us, or what we would see. We were commanded to go. We obeyed.


Now we are just as strongly commanded to share our good news with others. I pray that Jehovah will give me the words to say to my family and friends.


As we pass down the words of the Hebrew prophet, Daniel, maybe something we have experienced on this trip will live on, also. Maybe we have established our place in history.
