His story will encourage you to keep looking for the truth of the Bible to break through cultural barriers. Jesus did not come to discriminate and segregate for the benefit of a few. Jesus came to reconcile the world to God by breaking barriers, even the the barrier of the grave. Share Paul's story with someone who needs to be encouraged to expect more from the love and power of God.
