Dawud gathers the whole family and he apologizes for the trouble at the wedding. He starts by telling them about his mother's faith in Jesus. But Dawud thought she had been led away from their religion. He says that when he was in prison, a man appeared to him. The man's eyes glowed like fire. Everything Dawud had ever done was presented by the man. He says he's learned that when man and woman were created, they had a relationship with God. But when they disobeyed, that relationship was broken. So God provided Jesus to die for their sins. Dawud declares that Jesus has saved his life. The family asks why they should believe. Dawud says Jesus was raised from the dead. Rivka's asked to speak about Mary Magdalene's experience with the risen Jesus. She tells how Mary saw the empty tomb and spoke with Jesus. Dawud says that if they believe in the Lord Jesus and are baptized in His name, they can be saved from their sin and shame. Rivka and Mariam watch the sunset together. They marvel over everything that's happened. Mariam declares she knows that God is with them. When we follow Jesus, we receive the power of the Spirit and the call to share the gospel with others. Instead of relying on one person's opinion, we need to point people back to Jesus and the truth of Scripture.
