Jason Sobel was a hardworking Jewish kid living in New York City who believed he understood the complexities of his faith, though he now admits that he didn't. At the time, Sobel was working in a big New York recording studio and was surrounded by rock stars and rappers.
“I looked at their lives and thought, 'There has to be something more to this,'” Sobel told Crosswalk Headlines. “And so I began my spiritual journey. I went to synagogue, I studied with a traditional rabbi, and I started studying martial arts and Eastern philosophy.”
Eventually, he found Christianity, or, as he puts it, Jesus found him.
“One day I was meditating and I had a very strange spiritual experience. My soul started to leave my body and the next thing I knew I had ascended into heaven and was standing before this king,” Sobel said.
Sobel recalls a “bright light.”
“I felt the power of God pulsating throughout my body. I didn't know anything, but I knew it was Jesus sitting there and He told me I was called to serve God. Next thing I knew I was back in my body, running around trembling with heavenly power saying, 'I am called to serve God.' My mother said, 'Who have you been called to serve? We are Jews.'”
A testimony from a Messianic Jewish friend was the next step in his conversion.
