NEVER FORGET--INCLUSIVENESS










I am sure
You have heard the saying
“Don’t forget where you came from”


Did you know
That the entire Christian faith
With the exception of one man
Was started and begun
By Jewish people


Christ himself was a Jew


Never forget


Of Christ’s 72 original disciples
Only one was a non-Jew
Luke ---a gentile and physician


Never forget


Abraham was a Jew
In fact---the founder of the Jewish nation
In fact---the 3 monotheistic religions
Can ALL be traced back to him


Abraham---the father of many nations
We owe him a debt of gratitude
Thank you Abraham


Never forget


Moses was a Jew
He led his people to the Promised Land
He gave us the ten Commandments
We owe him a debt of gratitude
Thank you Moses


Never forget


Christ himself was a Jew
He taught us the 2 GREATEST COMMANDMENTS
He taught us about forgiveness
He taught us the beatitudes


He was given an assignment by God
He COMPLETED it


HE was the WORD MADE FLESH
God himself
Yet one of us too
( KNOWS all too well about our pain and suffering )


Walked it, did, lived it , died it


Thank you Jesus


NEVER FORGET


As I said
71 of the original disciples were Jewish


How ironic is it
That Jewish people were the beginning
Of the entire Christian movement


We owe them a debt of gratitude
We must---never forget


My mother always told me,
“Bob, love draws a circle
And pulls people in
Hate draws a circle
And pushes people out”


We must LIVE AND WALK IN LOVE


Last I heard
There were 6 or 7million Jewish people
Living in the United States


If we are ever to really be
“ONE NATION UNDER GOD”


I suggest to you
We must NEVER FORGET
