1 | Favoritism? | Acts 10:34 | Mommapbs | 118932 | ||
Greetings! God chooses individuals or groups to fulfill His plans and purposes. This is not a display of favoritism, but rather a demonstaration of God's absolute sovereignty over His Creation (I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy Rom 9:15; Read also Jer 18:1-10, the account of God as the Potter and Israel the lump of clay) As a result of society's moral failure to seek God and find his hope in Him, God chose to raise up a special people group to whom He would commission His promises - that entity was the nation of Israel. "Israel was commissioned, in the midst of a sinful world, to show that still, if you follow God, commit your life to Him, if you obey what (God says), you can be delivered from the terrible consequences of sin. Israel was commissioned to touch a world and tell it about the love of God and about the prosperity and blessing that its people would know if they would follow the Lord." (Destiny Bulletin 4/04) Jesus was sent to the nation of Israel as the fiulfillment of God's promise.(see Mk 7:26-8) Because Israel rejected Christ, they have been set aside and have ceased to be God's instrument. And as a result of their rejection, we have been given the Torch; the Light of the Truth and promise of God has been passed to a new people group that knows no ethnic or racial boundaries - the Church of Christ. Spread the Light! Blessings, mommapbs |
