Eliyahu's Winter Discovery
Join Eliyahu, a curious 10-year-old boy, as he spends his winter break indoors due to the cold, and stumbles upon a life-changing discovery in an old book. As he unravels the wisdom within, Eliyahu faces challenges and doubts, but ultimately learns about the greatest thing in the world: the love of Yeshua.
Eliyahu sat by the window, watching the frost paint delicate patterns. He was stuck indoors during the chilly winter break in Johannesburg. His parents were busy and his friends were away. Eliyahu felt a strange emptiness, like he was missing something important. Browsing through the books on the shelf, he stumbled upon a dusty old Bible. Flipping through, he wondered aloud, - What is the greatest thing in the world?
Eliyahu was about to start reading when his mother called him for lunch. He reluctantly put the book down, feeling an urgency to uncover its secrets. - Can't I read just a little more? he pleaded. His mother shook her head, - Food first, then you can read all you want. Eliyahu sighed, feeling the first obstacle to his quest: time.
After lunch, Eliyahu returned to the Bible, only to find the text confusing. The words seemed to blur together, making little sense. Frustrated, he wondered if he was too young to understand such a big book. - Why is this so hard? he muttered to himself. His determination wavered as doubts crept in, becoming another obstacle.
Feeling defeated, Eliyahu slumped back in his chair. Maybe he wasn't meant to find the answer, he thought. The idea of giving up hovered over him like a dark cloud. - What's the point if I can't understand it? he whispered. His heart heavy, Eliyahu considered abandoning his search for the greatest thing in the world.
Just as he was about to close the book for good, his grandmother entered the room. She smiled warmly and sat beside him. - Don't give up, Eliyahu, she encouraged, pointing to a verse. Together, they read John 3:16, and Eliyahu's eyes widened with understanding. This was it, the answer he'd been searching for all along.
Eliyahu felt a wave of joy wash over him. He had discovered something more precious than anything else: the love of Yeshua. - Now I understand! he exclaimed, his heart light and full. His mind buzzed with excitement as he imagined sharing this wisdom with others. The winter no longer seemed cold as Eliyahu embraced his newfound happiness.
