Christians are to love their Jewish brethren and stand against anti-Semitism
By A.J. Castellitto
"[Israel's history] speaks of the realized unity of true God and true man, of the God who descends to community with man, gracious in his freedom, and of man who is exalted to community with him, thankful in his freedom." – Karl Barth
If the one true God of Israel did not extend His mercy and grace to us wretched Gentiles we wouldn't have a chance. May this vital truth continue to be understood throughout all of Christendom.
We are left to wonder in amazement over the perfect and divine prerogative of the holy and benevolent Yahweh. Sinful mankind would be without hope if it were not for the loving kindness of the great I AM.
May love and compassion reign as we offer gratitude and goodwill to the chosen people whose merciful God has offered a righteous path to the undeserving gentile sinner.

For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. -Romans 10
