Jewish Evangelism is the Ultimate Test of the Church
"I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy." Romans 11:11
Sometimes, Christians act as if faith in Jesus Christ was something that was just spontaneously birthed one day whose end is simply the individual salvation of our souls. Yet Christianity it is the product of a purposeful history - as well as part of a prophetic future - which is yet unfolding today.
We have spoken before about who Israel is, yet how many times do we stop to consider God's masterful plan of the ages and the role which we have in it? Do we understand that we have been engrafted into a spiritual heritage which makes us partakers of the commonwealth of Israel (Ephesians 2:12-13)?
I dare to say that there is not much about "the Church" which would give undeniable & unshakeable testimony to the heart of the Jewish people that such is the reflection of the One, True God. Yet this should not be...according to the Scriptures.
If the life of God is not so evident in the Church that it moves the Jew to jealousy, then why not?
