The Refiners Touch
From the Desk of
Steve Giuliano
There was a group of women in a Bible
study on the book of Malachi. As they were studying chapter three
they came across verse three which says, "He will sit as a refiner
and purifier of silver." This verse puzzled the women and they
wondered what this statement meant about the character and nature of
God.
One of the women offered to find out about the process of refining
silver and get back to the group at their next Bible study. That
week the woman called up a silversmith and made an appointment to
watch him at work.
She didn't mention anything about the reason for
her interest in silver beyond her curiosity about the process of
refining silver.
As she watched the silversmith, he held
a piece of silver over the fire and let it heat up. He explained
that, in refining silver, one needed to hold the silver in the
middle of the fire where the flames were hottest so as to burn away
all the impurities.
The
woman thought about God holding us in such a hot spot - then she
thought again about the verse, that He sits as a refiner and
purifier of silver. She asked the silversmith if it was true that he
had to sit there in front of the fire the whole time the silver was
being refined.
The man answered that yes, he not only
had to sit there holding the silver, but he had to keep his eyes on
the silver the entire time it was in the fire. For if the silver was
left even a moment too long in the flames, it would be destroyed.
The woman was silent for a moment. Then she asked the silversmith,
"How do you know when the silver is fully refined?" He smiled at
her and answered, "Oh, that's the easy part -- when I see my image
reflected in it."
If today you are feeling the heat of the fire, remember that God has
His eye on you and will keep His hand on you and watch over you
until He sees His image in
you.
Jewish Roots of Christianity
Our Goal and Mission
By Messianic Speaker
Steve Giuliano
Welcome to Yeshua’s Servant
Ministries. Our Goal is to provide information on the Jewish Roots of
the Christian Faith. This is not limited to just the Internet, but also
Steve Giuliano travels as a guest Messianic speaker to different
churches and organization of different denominations assisting
individuals to learn about the Jewish Roots of Christianity that
churches have failed to convey to their congregations.
We are not here to draw you away
from your church, but to enrich your understanding of who this first
century Rabbi is. We have been taught that Jesus is his name. However;
the word Jesus and the English language had not been invented in his
life time and was not invented for hundreds of years following his
resurrection. The name Jesus itself is manmade. The word IEOUS is also
manmade from Greece. Yeshua, however; was sent from the Father in
Heaven, by the Angel Gabriel to a young Jewish Virgin to Hebrew name of
G-d’s own Son.
Therefore, the name above all names
is our L-rd’s Hebrew name, which means Salvation. All other names are
manmade translations. Ask yourself the question – Do you really know
this Jewish Rabbi – Yeshua. (John 1:49) To learn more about him and
enrich your understanding, please contact us.
We do not claim to be perfect as no one is or ever could be. There
is only one that was Perfect. We are merely Sinners who were saved by
Grace and Mercy by a Jewish Rabbi who fulfills the prophecies' of the
Holy Hebrew Scriptures. He is the Son of G-d and the King of Israel as
Scripture tells found in John 1:49
May the G-d of Abraham, Isaac and
Jacob shower you with his Shalom. And please pray for the Peace of
Jerusalem as the Holy Scriptures invites us to do.
