It is very sad to think that some segment within the professing church are saying we ought never to evangelise the Jews because they have their own special way of being accepted by the Lord. That is a heresy. Try telling that to the thousands of the completed Jews in messianic congregations. God has provided only one way of Salvation, there is no other way and it through the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ, and both Jews and Gentiles must come the same way because there is no other way. We ought to tell every Jewish friend lovingly to come to the cross that their true Messiah loves them.
Jesus told the story of Lazarus and the rich man (Luke 16) – it was not a parable, but a true story. The rich man was a self-centered man, but Lazarus was a poor man who trusted God. When both died, Lazarus went to Abraham’s side and the rich man to Hades. The rich man sincerely thought that his ethnicity, his Jewishness was going to get him to heaven but he was sincerely wrong.
In Hades, the rich man cried out to Abraham (the father of the Jewish people) to save him, but the bible tells us it was sadly too late. This rich man even begged Father Abraham to send Lazarus to warn his family and tell them the truth so they will not end up like him, but Abraham told him that if they do not believe in Moses and the Prophet, they will not believe even if somebody would rise from the dead.
Salvation is based on Mercy and not merits. Only those who would turn to Jesus Christ in repentance and faith will make it to Heaven. Salvation belongs to our God and He offers it to everyone including Jews and Gentiles. The bible is clear, the only way to the Father is through Jesus, and one day it will be sadly too late for some.
The Only Way.
