True History


As I listen to tour guides in Egypt and Israel it is obvious that most people and countries give their own perspectives of history. And that perspective usually tries to paint a rosy picture of themselves and their country. They tell the good side and leave out the bad side. Or they take the bad side and change it to make them look good.

The bible does that opposite. It shows all of the ugliness of the Hebrew people. Even the mistakes of the greatest kings and prophets are exposed. It shows the true history. It shows how great our God is and how messy the people are. It shows that we needed a saviour to save us from all of our sins.
