I remember a Good Friday several years ago when my wife and I went to see the Christian film entitled The Case for Christ. This is the true story of Lee Strobel, a Chicago crime reporter whose world turned upside down when his wife became a Christian. Before this, they were both avowed atheists.

The relationship of Israel to the church is an ever-present issue. However, with recent events in the Middle East, the question of Israel has become even more relevant. Are the Jews still the Chosen Race? Is the church the New Israel that has replaced the Jewish people? What does Scripture teach about God’s covenant with the Children of Abraham? The following essay addresses these issues in the light of Scripture. I will warn you, this post is a bit longer than what I normally write. But I felt like the serious nature of the subject warranted a more in-depth consideration. With this in mind, you can read the article online, or you can download the essay and print it out for reading later. I hope this essay is helpful for you. Shalom in Yeshua, Victor
