Jewish king

Last week Europe woke up from her winter slumber after the shooting at a Jewish school in Toulouse, France, where four people were killed (three of them children). The discussion about anti-Semitism once again heating up.

I am sure everyone will have an opinion, I am sure everyone will know what must happen with the person who did this. It is, after all, so easy to point a finger at such a horrible crime. But I ask myself: how many Christians are out there who do not have a love for the Jewish people and Israel? How many Christians are out there who do not stand behind the Jewish people and Israel? How many churches still exist that never even mention the Jewish people and Israel? How is it possible not to have an outspoken love for the Jewish people when the King of the Jews has made His home in your own heart?

Meanwhile Yeshua stood before the governor, and the governor asked him, "Are you the King of the Jews?" "Yes, it is as you say," Yeshua replied.
(Matthew 27:11)

    Good food for thought, Marja. My thoughts and prayers continue with and for the Jewish people around the world, and for Israel as well.

      Food for thought indeed, i have noticed that many people in church do not know much about Israel or the Jewish history... hence my thoughts... Thanks for stoppin by.

    Your post reminds me of God's words to Abram, "And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed," (Genesis 12:3). Praying for the Jewish people to accept Christ as their Savior!

    Awesome - God will bless those who bless Israel. It is a very unwise thing not to love what God tells us to love. Great post, great reminder!!!

    Hi Marja -

    I get very concerned when I see my country putting pressure on Israel to give up land, etc. How a nation treats Israel has a direct bearing on its well being. The same holds true for the church.

    Blessings,
    Susan

    Thank you for sharing, Marja.
