Petra of the Nabateans
By Dr. Don Bierle, FaithSearch President
Travel about fifty miles south of the Dead Sea, take a nearly mile-long donkey ride through a narrow rock-carved gorge called the Siq, and emerge before the stunning rock-cut façade of the Khazneh (“Treasury”). You stand there with fascination and awe. You have just repeated the experience of a million tourists in 2022.

I’m sure he thought it to be true for all the Jews, but the early chapters of Acts demonstrates that God had to convince Peter and other Jews that it truly meant “anyone” and not just them. It is a fascinating study to observe in the book of Acts all that God did so the words of His Son would be fulfilled, “For God so loved the world…whoever…” (John 3:16).
