In “Thanks, Abe”, Rodney shares that some people wonder why many Christians have feelings of connection with Israel. It is more than a political ideology. It is much deeper than that. Our faith flows from this connection with Israel and the Jewish faith. Our story is part of a continuation, and fulfillment of their story. God called one man, to make a family, who would make a nation, and out of which a great people – the church would come to be. Scriptures teaches these are the true children of Abraham. God loves the Jewish people, and his church. He has pronounced a blessing on those who bless and support Israel, the descendants of Abram, who would later be named Abraham, who are the descendants of Shem, son of Noah. Like Abraham, The journey we are on is “now, but not yet”. We have directions but not a complete picture. We walk by faith. God gave Abraham a great promise. From his family the Messiah, Jesus Christ, would be born, and we are recipients of that wonderful blessing. There is a promise of blessing on those who bless and work with God’s plan. We have an opportunity to respond in gratitude to the Lord for inviting us to be a part of the family of God through the blessing on the family of Abraham.
