If it were not for the learned Jewish individuals at the time of the first century, it is possible that the Messiah might have been missed altogether. We owe a great debt of gratitude to the Jewish early adopters who risked everything to stand by the truth as it was clearly revealed to them. For our sakes they led the way for our glorious hope in Christ our savior. If not for these courageous men with their background knowledge of the Jewish Scriptures we gentiles would have never been able to put together all the prophesies and other clues that have revealed the messiah, we would have been lost, without hope of salvation at all.
So it is to the praise of His Glory that we have such a great salvation. I need to be mindful of the hope I have in Christ, which is precious above all else.
- What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?
