2 | Juesus rejected by the jews? | Rom 11:1 | Apollos | 179614 | ||
Is it really fully true to say that Jesus was rejected by the Jews? He was rejected by Gentiles also, and, in fact all his earliest followers were Jews as was the greatest of all Christian missionaries - the Apostle Paul. Paul tells us in Romans 11 that not all Jews rejected Jesus - a remnant accepted him. Those who did are the true Israel and when we gentiles believe in the Messiah Jesus we are grafted in to that true Israel and become sons of Abraham (Galatians 3:29). So God has always had his Israel and always will have. The ripping of the curtain in the Temple shows us that through Jesus' once for all sacrifice the way to God is now open for believers. The curtain separated the Holy of Holies (where God symbolically dwelt) from sinful man. Because Jesus has died for us that curtain is no longer necessary. God bless Apollos |

Hi, Apollos... You asked, "Is it really fully true to say that Jesus was rejected by the Jews?" "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it! How often would I have gathered your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you would not!" (Matthew 23:37 ESV) And all the people answered, "His blood be on us and on our children!" (Matthew 27:25 ESV) He came to his own, and his own people did not receive him. (John 1:11 ESV) But his citizens hated him and sent a delegation after him, saying, 'We do not want this man to reign over us.' (Luke 19:14 ESV) But you denied the Holy and Righteous One, and asked for a murderer to be granted to you, and you killed the Author of life, whom God raised from the dead. To this we are witnesses. (Acts 3:14-15 ESV) "You stiff-necked people, uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Spirit. As your fathers did, so do you. Which of the prophets did not your fathers persecute? And they killed those who announced beforehand the coming of the Righteous One, whom you have now betrayed and murdered, you who received the law as delivered by angels and did not keep it." (Acts 7:51-53 ESV) I don't think rejection could be spelled out more clearly. In Him, Doc |
