Dial daily Bread

Dear Friends of "Dial Daily Bread":

What do we know for sure about the Israeli/Palestinian problem?

 

“God so loved [both sides] that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16).

 

We know that God loves the Jews. Paul tells us in Romans that even though as a nation they rejected their Savior when they crucified Him, “God has not cast away His people whom He foreknew..... At this present time there is a remnant according to the election of grace” (11:1-5). (There were 7000 in Elijah’s day who did not bow to Baal.) The fact that the Jews as a corporate body rejected their Messiah does not mean that individual Jews cannot find salvation in Him if they repent. And the heavenly Father does not want to see Jews oppressed; the Holocaust was terrible. He wants Jews to live on earth happily and securely. Christ prayed for those who crucified Him, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do” (Luke 23:34). That prayer is still valid.

 

We know also that God loves Palestinians and Muslims. Christ is described in the Bible as “the Savior of the world” and “the Savior of all men, especially of those who believe” (John 4:42; 1 Tim 4:10). He is “the bread of God [who]...... gives life to the world” (John 6:33). The privilege for both sides is to repent. The love of Christ still works miracles in human hearts. Ariel Sharon’s determination for Israel to leave Gaza (he tells the Israelis, “Blame me!”) encourages the hope that even yet the Holy Spirit will work on Jewish and Palestinian hearts. When repentance is understood by Christians, Muslims, and Jews, when the meaning of Christ’s cross is perceived, then the world will be lightened with the glory of a message of great good news (Rev. 18:1-4). It’s on God’s agenda for the world!
