Jesus Christ” He is The Lord of All”.
People in Asia think that Jesus Christ is western God and some of the learned may think Jesus Christ is the Messiah of the Jews.
But the Jews think that their Messiah is yet to come.
But the Messiah had His plans executed already.
I perceive that there is a fundamental and sharp contrast in what the current Israelites claim as their inherited privilege and what the believing gentiles enjoy as a gracefully inherited position . That is , the privilege of becoming and being the “Children of the Living God” .
The gentiles got themselves to this position,by believing the Lord Jesus Christ as their Lord and saviour.
The promise of Messiah came to the Jews first the sons of the promise.
Acts 13:46 NKJV
[46] Then Paul and Barnabas grew bold and said, “It was necessary that the word of God should be spoken to you first.
John the Baptist came announcing, the coming Messiah to the Jews first,
Matthew 3:1-3 NKJV
[1] In those days John the Baptist came preaching in the wilderness of Judea
[2] and saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!” [3] For this is he who was spoken of by the prophet Isaiah, saying: “The voice of one crying in the wilderness: ‘Prepare the way of the Lord; Make His paths straight.’ ”
The Messiah himself came to the Jews first.
Matthew 3:13-14, 16-17 NKJV
[13] Then Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordan to be baptized by him. [14] And John tried to prevent Him, saying, “I need to be baptized by You, and are You coming to me?”
[16] When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him. [17] And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
Matthew 4:23 NKJV
[23] And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease among the people.
The apostles first started the preaching of the gospel to the Jews first.
Acts 2: 22-24, 26 NKJV
[22] “Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a Man attested by God to you by miracles, wonders, and signs which God did through Him in your midst, as you yourselves also know— [23] Him, being delivered by the determined purpose and foreknowledge of God, you have taken by lawless hands, have crucified, and put to death; [24] whom God raised up, having loosed the pains of death, because it was not possible that He should be held by it.
Acts 10:36, 38-41 NKJV
[36] The word which God sent to the children of Israel, preaching peace through Jesus Christ—He is Lord of all—
So many firsts .. to the Jews,
The word of God says ..
I John 2:22-23 NKJV
[22] Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist who denies the Father and the Son. [23] Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father either; he who acknowledges the Son has the Father also.
The truth is the truth,
Jewish world should understand that their privilege has ended here. By denying Christ you put your souls to eternal condemnation.
but the grace was extended to the gentiles.
One of the important quotes of the Holy Bible, which paved the way for the gospel to spread in Asia and the rest of the gentile world including India, are the below words of Paul the apostle.
Acts 13:46-48 NKJV
[46] Then Paul and Barnabas grew bold and said, “It was necessary that the word of God should be spoken to you first; but since you reject it, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, behold, we turn to the Gentiles. [47] For so the Lord has commanded us: ‘I have set you as a light to the Gentiles, That you should be for salvation to the ends of the earth.’ ” [48] Now when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and glorified the word of the Lord. And as many as had been appointed to eternal life believed.
The rest is History.. as the saying goes, Thus the gentile world becomes co-hiers with the sons of promise. But by grace we are saved not by merit.
The good news is ,this grace is still available to the Jews and to the muslims and to Hindus and to Buddhists and to all people even to the ends of the world.
John 1: 1-3 CEV
In the beginning was the one who is called the Word. The Word was with God and was truly God. [2] From the very beginning the Word was with God. [3] And with this Word, God created all things. Nothing was made without the Word. Everything that was created [4] received its life from him, and his life gave light to everyone.
John 1:14 CEV
[14] The Word became a human being and lived here with us. We saw his true glory, the glory of the only Son of the Father. From him the complete gifts of undeserved grace and truth have come down to us.
For the Jewish world ,this is your time to return back to the God of Hebrews,but only through His son Jesus Christ.
Isaiah 10:21 NKJV
[21] The remnant will return, the remnant of Jacob, To the Mighty God.
John 3:16 NKJV
[16] For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
Whosoever you are, whichever part of the world you are, if you hear or read this gospel open your heart for JESUS.
Acts 4:10-12 NKJV
[10] let it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by Him this man stands here before you whole. [11] This is the ‘stone which was rejected by you builders, which has become the chief cornerstone.’ [12] Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”
JESUS CHRIST IS THE LORD OF ALL-Amen and Amen.
Acts 16:31 NKJV
[31] So they said, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.”
