The Daily Word of Righteousness
You Are My People, #8
For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh: Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises; Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen. (Romans 9:3-5)
There is no need for a Jew to become a Gentile in order to receive his own Christ, the Lord Jesus. The Jew's inheritance from ancient times is the Glory of God, while the Gentiles are guests at the Jew's table. Let the Jews now claim their own bread.
The Jews are God's choice from among the nations of the earth. The gifts and callings of God never change. While the Jews may have been chastened for a season, the time of their restoration is at hand. Let the Gentiles tremble!
There was a Jewish priest by the name of Zacharias, his wife being descended from Aaron. He became the father of John the Baptist, the prophet who, by his prophetic declarations and actions, prepared the way for Christ.
The Holy Spirit had not spoken since the days of Malachi, several hundred years previously. Now the Holy Spirit came upon Zacharias, this Jewish priest who was blameless in the keeping of Torah. What Zacharias had to say gives a clear definition of the meaning of the Gospel of Christ:
Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people, And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David; As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began: That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us; To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant; The oath which he sware to our father Abraham, That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear, In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life. And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways; To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins, Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us, To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace. (Luke 1:68-79)
It is the above statement, made by a Law-keeping son of Aaron, that should guide the scholars and rabbis of Israel in the Day that God once again visits His own land and people, the land and people of Israel.
How long shall it be before the Jews claim their own bread, their own salvation, their own Christ?
