Today a Catholic missionary studying in Acayucan at the Catholic Seminary knocked on my door. He came inside the garage and we started talking. He was convinced that God doesn't condemn the sinner and that one had to have good works along with his faith in Jesus to be saved. Starting in Genesis and going on to Revelation he came to understand differently; he was really open to what the Scriptures had to say. He readily confessed that according to God's Word he was going to an eternal Hell for his sin. Then further along it clicked with him that the Bible speaks of the Biblical salvation as a free gift based solely on the Person and work of Jesus Christ. After about three hours he asked Jesus to save him! He actually sighed two big sighs after praying. Talk about resting from your labors.
We are Jason and Sarah Knabb, missionaries to Jáltipan, Veracruz. There are about 4 million people in the southern half of the state of Veracruz, and the land is heavily influenced by a history of worship of false gods and human sacrifice. There is so much work to be done here, and so many to reach. As for Sarah and me, we must work the works of Him that sent us, while it is day: the night comes, when no man can work (John 9:4).
