As Jesus hung on The Cross, He could not only see what was before Him in the natural, but also the ages to come. He took upon Himself all the sin, of all men, Jew and Gentile alike, for all time, past,present and future. So, lets just follow His PLAN FOR REACHING MAN.
There is so much out there on how The Church needs to support Israel, and how Christians can reach The Jewish People. There are people with systems and special bibles, with very precise language on how we need to do this or that to reach Israel for Christ. Many of them make it sound like they somehow need a different Gospel than us...This is error.
The Churches role in reaching the lost in Israel is the same as it is in the rest of the world. Go preach The Gospel to every creature in power and demonstrations of The Spirit, not with enticing words and the wisdom of men, as Paul said. Make disciples of all men. The Great Commission was the same for The Jew and Gentile alike. We don't have to make it difficult, that is what the early disciples tried to do and God showed them clearly that The Gospel comes to all men the same.
What Israel needs is not special systems, but called men and women to go there and establish Spirit filled churches that preach The Word and demonstrate that The Kingdom has Come and Jesus Is LORD.
Acts 10:34-48 (NKJV)
34 Then Peter opened his mouth and said: “In truth I perceive that God shows no partiality. 35 But in every nation whoever fears Him and works righteousness is accepted by Him. 36 The word which God sent to the children of Israel, preaching peace through Jesus Christ—He is Lord of all— 37 that word you know, which was proclaimed throughout all Judea, and began from Galilee after the baptism which John preached: 38 how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.
39 And we are witnesses of all things which He did both in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem, whom they[a] killed by hanging on a tree. 40 Him God raised up on the third day, and showed Him openly, 41 not to all the people, but to witnesses chosen before by God, even to us who ate and drank with Him after He arose from the dead.
42 And He commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify that it is He who was ordained by God to be Judge of the living and the dead. 43 To Him all the prophets witness that, through His name, whoever believes in Him will receive remission of sins.
44 While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who heard the word. 45 And those of the circumcision who believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out on the Gentiles also. 46 For they heard them speak with tongues and magnify God.
Then Peter answered, 47 “Can anyone forbid water, that these should not be baptized who have received the Holy Spirit just as we have?” 48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then they asked him to stay a few days.
Acts 1:8 (NKJV)
8 But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”
ROMANS 10:12
For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him.
Galations 3:28
Galations 3:28
There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
Colossians 3:11 (NKJV)
11 where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcised nor uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave nor free, but Christ is all and in all.
