Victory 60 years ago, and a greater victory 2,000 years ago

Today on the 9th of May all of Russia celebrated Victory Day. It is a salute to the victory over Nazi fascism of World War 2. There is an estimated 3 million surviving veterans living in Russia and its former Soviet states. Many celebrate Victory Day at Victory park where 1,000’s of families come for a day of remembrance and celebration on the grounds of Russia largest war memorial. With day long activities, concerts and huge firework display it is a popular place on the 9th of May. Every year Jews for Jesus takes advantage of the multitude of people and the theme of victory, by handing out a track that speaks of a victory that was won 2,000 years ago on the cross. And just as many brave men and woman gave their life to save Russia, that Jesus also gave His life, and defeated the enemy of death, and paid the price for man’s sin. That the greatest victory in the history of the world was won on a hill in Jerusalem 2,000 years ago.

Over 10,000 of these tracks were passed out today. It was amazing how many people took the time to read them. I personally only had two returned to me. I even had one older woman come up to me and ask if she could have all the tracks I had in my hand. I thought she was going to take all I had remaining and throw them away. But she told me I’m Christian too and I want to help pass them out also!! I have to admit I was a bit nervous as there police all around the area I was standing. At one time a group of 6 came walking towards me and I thought, well they are going to want to see what I’m passing out but they just walked by un-concerned! How exciting that we have the freedom to pass out the good news freely in Moscow!! What a true victory that is!
