JESUS OF NAZARETH IN ISRAEL’S LAND
Pastor J. C. O’Hair
Jesus Christ was the Son of David. He was born as the Seed of David to be Israel’s Saviour (Acts 13:23). Christ was born to sit on David’s throne and reign over the house of Israel. (Luke 1:27 to 33).
“Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for He hath visited and redeemed His people And hath raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of His servant David.” (Luke 1:68 and 69). Christ was raised from the dead to sit on the throne of David and to give to Israel the sure mercies of David (Acts 2:27 to 33 and 13:30 to 37).
Christ will come back to build again the tabernacle of David (Acts 15:13 to 18 - Amos 9:11 to 14 - Ezekiel 37:24 and 25).
Jesus Christ was saluted “King of Israel” (John 1:49); for He was born “King of the Jews” and died “King of the Jews.”
Jesus Christ was born to fulfill prophecy (I Peter 1:12 - Acts 13:29 - Isaiah 9:6 and 7). He was born for Calvary ‘s cross and He was born for David’s throne (Hebrews 2:8 and 9 and Luke 1:32).
Christ was raised from the dead and is now far above all heavens, to be Head of the Church, which is His Body. This is not in fulfillment of prophecy. (Ephesians 1:19 to 23 - Colossians 1:24 to 27).
Jesus Christ was born as the Seed of Abraham, the Seed in Whom all the earth will be blessed (Genesis 12:3 and Genesis 22:18), but He was thus born to die for Israel’s sins (Hebrews 2:16 and 17 - Isaiah 53:5 to 8 - John 11:47 to 52).
On earth Christ was sent unto the children of Abraham whom He called, “the children of the Kingdom.” (Matthew 8:12).
Why did He heal that diseased woman on the sabbath? Because she was a daughter of Abraham. (Luke 13:16).
Why did he save that despised publican Zacchaeus? Because he was a son of Abraham. (Luke 19:9).
Why did He bless that one Gentile man in Luke 7:1 to 12? Because he loved the sons of Abraham, built them a synagogue, and went to Christ through the sons of Abraham. (A most interesting story in Luke 7:1 to 12).
Why did Peter preach Acts 3:18 to 26 after the death of Christ, “to Israel first?” The answer is Acts 3:25: “Ye are the children of the prophets and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, In thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed.”
But where were the Gentiles at the time? Ephesians 2:11 and 12.
Now let us read one of the most interesting and significant stories in the Bible, Matthew 15:21 to 28: “Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon. And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto Him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord Thou Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil. But He answered her not a word. And His disciples came and besought Him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us. But He answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Then came she and worshipped Him, saying, Lord, help me. But He answered and said, It is not meet to take the children’s bread, and cast it to dogs. And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table. Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.” (After reading this strange Message, compare it with Romans 11:11 and the changed program for Israel and Gentiles in Romans 11:30 to 32).
What is the Gospel?
Believing
Christ died, that’s HISTORY.
Believing
Christ died for YOUR sins and rose again, that’s SALVATION.
Moreover, brethren, I declare unto
you the gospel which the preached unto you, which also ye have received, and
wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached
unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first
of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according
to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the
third day according to the scriptures. 1. Corinthians 15:1-4
