Jews

and

Christians

Sermon by Dr. Bob Benchoff, July 19, 2002

Holders of the oracles of God; of all religions, said to be the closest to Christianity; and the religious faith in which Jesus Christ was raised: the Jewish religion is historically both great and small, admired and despised, a winner and a loser.

Many Jews converted to Christianity through Jesus Christ. Many Jews were raised and glorified, such as Einstein, who saw all his friends disappear and no one helped him except the church.

Many Jews held the Words of God valuable and Holy, preserving the sacred texts. Many Jews felt persecution, and many overcame persecution.

The Old Testament that Christians use is largely to the credit of the Jews for keeping the writings and the laws and history prophecying of Christ.

The Jewish testaments include details of the coming of the one true Lord (Isaiah 7.7 through 8.14) Jesus regarded by Immanuel John as holy.

Christians herald their Jewish ancestry. The names of Christian ancestors are widely acclaimed, such as Adam, Eve, Methuselah, Abraham, Jacob, Moses, Samuel, and so many more.

The story of the Jewish people is the story of all people before Christ became as a human on earth. After that, the story of Christians became the story of all people.

It is a story of bring people to the one true faith to be partakers of the grace provided by Christ Jesus our Lord God Almighty, for the greater glory of Christ Jesus according to the Spirit of the Holy Word.

We of all nations, all lineages, all creeds, and all entities can build on these principles and works to provide for our ancestors heritage far greater than the hopes and expections of any people and far greater than the world has ever seen, through Jesus Christ our Savior, born of the virgin Mary, Teacher, Sufferer for all, and he who rose from death to life to rightfully resume his place of love and mercy in heaven.
