The Barrier is Broken in Messiah - ONE FOR ISRAEL


	Dr Erez Soref President of ONE FOR ISRAEL

Shalom!

At a time when the UN is falsely trying to accuse Israel of 'Apartheid' (which literally means 'apart-hood' in Afrikaans), we are determined to stand together as One New Man in Messiah!

Israel is a mixed society with Jews, Arabs and other minority groups, all having equality before the law. In contrast, the Apartheid regime of South Africa separated Whites and Blacks by law, prohibiting living together, traveling together, studying together, and even going to the same cinemas or beaches. That kind of separation and rejection is the opposite of love. Here at Israel College of the Bible, want to display God's love and bring glory to him through our unity.

Yeshua's prayer recorded in John 17, shortly before he died:

"I pray not on behalf of these only, but also for those who believe in Me through their message, that they all may be one. Just as You, Father, are in Me and I am in You, so also may they be one in Us, so the world may believe that You sent Me. The glory that You have given to Me I have given to them, that they may be one just as We are one - I in them and You in Me-that they may be perfected in unity, so that the world may know that You sent Me and loved them as You loved Me."

As our Jewish and Arab staff and students have been made new in Messiah, we can love each other, learn side by side, grow together and serve together, showing the world that Yeshua can break down every barrier between us. There is no divide that Yeshua cannot overcome, and no brokenness that he cannot heal. We are not only learning how to study the Bible in depth together, but we are also learning how to walk it out in our everyday lives. By taking this message out to the world, others can see that our Messiah is the Prince of Peace.

WATCH THE STORY OF HOW SAM MET HIS MESSIAH!

Sam Nadler was a hardened atheist, war veteran and drug dealer. He was invited to a Bible study, and went to laugh at the believers... but some time later, ended up with an inexpressible joy that will last forever! He has since written some great Bible studies for new Jewish believers who found themselves in the same situation he found himself in... "Jesus saved me! What do I do now?" Sam's discipleship books are used all over Israel and beyond.

WHY DON'T MANY JEWS ACCEPT JESUS AS MESSIAH?

It can be bewildering considering that Yeshua the Messiah was an Israeli-born Jew, grew up in a Jewish community, practiced Jewish laws and customs, worshiped God at the Jewish Temple, his original followers were Jewish, and that all of his teaching was based upon and rooted in the Jewish Scripture that so many Jewish people find him incompatible with Judaism.
