Rom 3:1-2
Then what's the advantage of being a Jew? Is there any value in the ceremony of circumcision? 2 Yes, there are great benefits! First of all, the Jews were entrusted with the whole revelation of God.
NLT
The Tuesday before the northern kingdom fell, there was a cholera epidemic and people were already dying in the town. Everyone knew that Steven had some parchments that were handed over to him by his great grandfather; these parchments contained the herbal formula that could cure the whole school and even the whole town from the ominous plague. Stephen refused to use the herbs because he was living in denial that he could never be infected because ‘I am not as dirty as you all’ he said. Thaddeus went into his chest and took the parchment, copied the formula, and with the help of the town elders, prepared a portion that cured all who cared to be administered. At the end of the session, the school principal honored Steven because ‘had Steven not diligently kept those parchments handed to him by the great healer, we would all be dead by now’ he said.
There is no doubt that the people of Israel; the physical descendants of Abraham; through whom the savior of the world came, have been instrumental in helping to keep the revelation of God handed to mankind. We are not to join those who hate the fact that they exist in saying and perpetrating negative things against the people of Israel. We should instead seek the good of the Jews at all times. We should also pray for them that salvation through faith in Christ Jesus will come to them, for there is no other name given under heaven whereby we must be saved (see Acts 4:12).
Go into today remembering that God wants you to radiate His love to everyone you come in contact with today, He has no favorites for there is no respect of persons with Him( see Rom 2:11, Eph 6:9, 1 Pet 1:17).
Prayer: Thank you Lord God, I pray for the deliverance and salvation of the people of Israel. I pray that you keep them in perfect peace. I pray that you help me radiate your love today and always. I pray this in Jesus mighty name. Amen
