Going In The Right Direction

Going In The Right Direction

"Did you know there is a king who lives forever?" This question posed by a servant girl, Anna, whose grandfather had accompanied the wise men to Bethlehem, along with the brutal death of his father, starts Alex on a quest to learn more. Alex and Anna journey to Jerusalem to find this king, arriving on time for Pentecost and the outpouring of the Spirit of God. Anna immediately embraces the Way having found the kingdom her grandfather had described to her, but faith comes much more gradually for Alex. His obligation to honorably avenge his father's death along with his training in and love of sword fighting conflict with the way of life being taught and practiced by the followers of the eternal king. Alex is convinced by displays of the Spirit's power and the stories of Jesus's life that He is the Son of God, but will he lay down his sword to follow? Alex's journey is one of small steps but they are in the right direction.
