Masai Kenyan Scapegoats

7/3/2012

0 Comments

 
In Kenya's Masai tribe they have a long-standing tradition in their culture of seeking Satan for the name of a person among their people who would be cast out of the village in payment for sin.  This person would take his generation's sins upon himself and outside of the camp away from the rest of the villagers.  As soon as they are chosen by the Evil One, they are shunned and cannot have any human contact with the rest of the villagers, their wives, chidren or siblings.  (Info from Paul Eshleman's "I Just Saw Jesus".) 

Do you remember in the Bible that it says in Romans that God planted a seed or a piece of eternity in the hearts of all the cultures?  This seems to be proof of that Biblical truth.  Here this tribe knows that there is sin in every human heart.  This tribe also knows that something needs to be done to removed that sin from the people for their salvation.  They know that there needs to be a scape goat to take away that sin.  But the fall into sin has darkened their thinking  about that truth seed and warped it so that they seek the devil for a scapegoat instead of God. Sin has also caused them to choose their own scapegoat instead of Jesus.

Praise God that the gospel truth has made it to their tribe and many scapegoat men have rejoiced at the glorious news that Jesus is the one and only scapegoat needed now. Lord, may the good news continue to grow in Masai villages until all human scapegoats there have been redeemed and freed by the truth. amen.

Anyone else who has traveled to other countries have other truth seeds that have been warped by wrong thinking that they could share?  I would love to hear about them.
