Jewish Leader Tries to Refute Jesus and Ends Up Believing He Is the Messiah

A well-known Jewish man set out to prove his daughter wrong after she told him she believed in Jesus. Instead, the prophecies of the Old and New Testament convinced him.

He tells the story himself: the phone call, the family tension, reading the Hebrew Scriptures for himself (starting with Psalm 22), wrestling with the history of Christian anti-Semitism, and finally committing his life to Jesus as Messiah.
