GOD LOVES THE JEWS
God has not rejected the Jews. He loves them.
God loves all people -all have the same value but I also think that God see the Jewish people as a people unique. As different flowers all can be beautiful but different from each other.
When the Jews were in Egypt and things happend around them - plagues as to Pharoah - God's heart was to do everything for the Jews so He fought for them to help them. He loved His people. He wanted them to go because He loved them and also for His own sake He did it.
The signs He did brought glory to Him and He showed His power among people. He wanted generations to know, "that you may tell in the hearing of your son and your sons' son the mighty things I have done in Egypt, and My signs which I have done among them, that you may know that I am the Lord". Ex. 10:2.
God wanted His people also to have a feast for Him in the wilderness. Ex.5:1. I am thinking that when God in His love has saved them out of Egypt that it would be natural for the children of Israel to have a feast for Him! They ought to be very thankful for what He had done and saved them when people came against them. In His love He even let the sea be dry so they could walk through it on dry land!
It gives also hope for us that God can help us in circumstances. We will not drown in the "water" but God will bring us through by standing on the Word - the Bible. God`s heart is love.
I am thinking about that there were Jews who expected a king to come like a usual king but Jesus did not because He was different. He was a King who came as a servant and was a King of love with a purpose of love. He was willing to suffer as a King - a loving King willing to give His life for the people.
God had to send His son as His lamb without faults who had no sin and laid on him "the iniquity of us all." Isaiah 53:6. Jesus was slaughtered at Calvary.The precious lamb was slaughtered for our sake.
He who was God´s Son and a great King was willing to humble Himself as a servant and show the biggest love anyone can show. He could have chosen to go back to heaven but He choose to suffer the biggest pain anyone has carried. "He opened not His mouth" Isaiah.53:7.
The greatest love - giving His life for us in a terrible pain. He is also a real "King of the Jews".
God`s heart is crushed for them. He gave all He had for them. He gave His Son.
It was a King who was willing to suffer for them - to give all He had. In Gethsemane He had tears of blood in agony. He had so much agony because He knew before that He would suffer SO much for all people and for the Jews but He did it because He LOVED the Jews and all people.
Our heavenly Daddy has not rejected the Jews. He loves them SO much!
Salvation is in Jesus' name for everyone and for God's chosen people - the Jews.
"For God so LOVED the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever
believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life". John.3:16.
