Here was Omar, a Muslim who hated Jews,<br />

reading Matthew, the first book in the New<br />

Testament. Omar was reading a book <strong>that</strong> was<br />

primarily written to explain the Messiah to<br />

Jews.<br />

As Omar read of the genealogy of the Lord<br />

Jesus, and on through the beatitudes and the<br />

wonderful teachings of the Lord Jesus, God<br />

began to draw his heart to the Savior.<br />

As he read the verses in Matthew 10 about<br />

members of your own household being your<br />

enemies and Jesus bringing a sword which<br />

would divide family, he fell to his knees and<br />

confessed Christ as Savior.<br />

Later when someone asked him why those<br />

verses, of all verses, would be the very ones <strong>that</strong><br />

would bring him to faith in Christ, he said,<br />

“When I read them, I knew <strong>that</strong> Jesus must<br />

be God because only God would require such<br />

from His followers.”<br />
