His Testimony: I came from a Roman Catholic background and a big family (7 sisters and 1 brother). I came to know Christ when I was in my 2nd year of college through an American volunteer. I am presently a full-time "World Christian" and a part-time teacher.
Gate Description: This is the gate where the old people would gather, talk, and study, and where many people learned from them.
The Importance of this Gate in Today's World: We should look at the past and learn from the people who have lived before us; like the 12 apostles, Moses, David, and etc. If the people of Isreal wanted to learn more, they need to do and sit at the old gate. Today we might not have a gate to sit at, but we should make it a priority in our lives to learn from the leaders of the faith that God has put in our lives.
Life Application: We need to learn from those who have lived and been used by God in the past. Our faith will be encouraged and strengthened when we learn from them about their victories and mistakes.
The Most Important Lesson I Learned: I should look back and study more about the apostles, prophets, and men of God- so that I will not make the same mistakes as them.
A Challenge for the Reader: Whatever the trials, we can take courage because others have always encountered similar problems We can learn from their past. We can imitate their faith.
