Israel's election, calling and history make up a big part of scripture. It could be said that they belong to the "DNA of the Bible." But why is it then that the Christian narrative about the Messiah, Israel and the nations, often seemed to have and sometimes even still las a different “genetic structure”? Does Israel - together with its election and promises – leave God’s stage through a side door, when Jesus appears on stage? Does a changing of roles take place, within a different story? Does the Messiah function within it as some kind of “black hole” in which the eternal election and calling of Israel disappear? How do we read God’s way?

God's Promises to Abram echo down through the corridors of time as we study Genesis 12:2-3. Anyone, believer or non-believe, rich or poor, who blesses the Jewish people through kindness and mercy, will please God. The scriptural principle will never change. As the church worldwide, we need to see the importance of how we touch the apple of God's eye. Let us forfeit no more blessings by ignoring God's promise to bless. If the original offshoot of biblical Judaism(Christianity), which sprang from the original olive tree (Israel) would begin to allow itself to be grafted back into its roots, spiritual blessings will come to congregations across the world. Christians do not have to become Jewish to love the Jewish people but only what God loves. They simply need to be a blessing.
