THE ROSE OF SHARON is about the path that the Gentile Church must take for Yeshua to return.
The Gentile Church was given the Gospel, thus they must pay back the debt of the Gospel to the chosen people through sacrificial love of the Calvary. Only when His people accept Jesus as their Messiah will He return. However, the Gentile Church have become spiritually blinded and lost their way.
The sacrificial love of the Early Church made it possible for the Gospel to spread from Zion to the Gentiles. The Christians at that time were even martyred for their faith. Once the Gospel reaches all the Gentiles, the same sacrifice is required for the Gospel to return to Zion. |
THE ROSE OF SHARON portrays two people from two different worlds on a journey to pay back the debt of the Gospel to the Chosen People.
Mina Sohn (Annie Lee) is a truly devoted and dedicated Korean American Christian woman living in Los Angeles. While running her flower shop, ¡°The Rose of Sharon,¡± she also ministers to those around as her calling. As faith would have it, a young Jewish lawyer, Michael Shapiro (Paul Gagliano) shows up one day in need of a florist and the two sense an immediate connection. Feeling that there is something special about Michael, Mina ministers the gospel to him and discovers that his father is a strict and devoted rabbi. This creates problems in their relationship and confusion in Michael. After having lifelong doubts about his religion, Michael finally decides to find out the truth about his faith and Christianity.
