Jerusalem: Searching for Peace
As Jesus approached Jerusalem for the last time, He wept. He thought about the people within its walls and said, If you knew this day what would bring you peace. . . (Luke 19:42). He knew within hours He'd be crucified by the very people for whom He wept.

A Word from Frank S. Page
Many people tease me about my large number of favorite Scripture verses and favorite songs. I think it goes without saying that John 3:16 is the favorite verse of more people than we can imagine. This often quoted verse gives us a precious motivation for missions. In John 3:16, we see that our Lord is the Great Giver. In the phrase "so loved" we see the Great Motive. In the designation of the recipient of this love being the world, we see the Great Mission Field. By the way, it is followed by the Greatest Act, the Greatest Gift, and the Greatest Opportunity.

Southern Baptists Broaden Missions Perspective
Unity Baptist Church has been ministering in its "Jerusalem" for most of its ten-year history.
