The Jews killed their Messiah. If they want part of the blessings, they need to repent. They are not close to that from what I have seen.

“The Jews killed their Messiah. If they want part of the blessings, they need to repent. They are not close to that from what I have seen.”

Jesus was crucified for the sins of the world. My sins and your sins put Jesus on the cross.

The Jews turned Jesus over to the Romans, who actually carried out the execution. Christ’s death is not something to be blamed on a particular nation, ethnicity, etc.

What nation of the world has 100% of it’s members following Christ? None.

But God has saved some people out of every nation, including Israel. Yes, Jewish people were instrumental in Christ’s death because they were His people. Jesus, as a human born into this world, was a Jew. But also ALL of His initial followers were Jewish. The New Testament was written mostly by Jews.

Israel is partially blinded right now. There is a remnant, as there always has been, who are not blinded and do have faith. And God is going to bring the entire nation of Israel, in her final generation, to repentance and salvation. This is not true of every nation. And it is quite uncertain whether America will repent and turn to Christ or will be among the many nations destroyed at the final judgment.

Our sins put Christ to death on the cross.
