We should get into studying and understanding different faiths and different cultures within our own Christian faith. When the jewish faith sees Christians trying to resolve the cultural divisions in our faith, I think we will start to see more connecting between the Christians and the Jewish community.

Let’s first take the beam out of our own eye.

Christian leadership has to make it a priority to get past this racial, cultural, and denominational divisions that exist in the church.

If the church can get it down into the core of their being, that we are all brothers and sisters in Christ, the world will take notice. The Word says that we are ingrafted into the family of God. When we make Jesus our Lord and Savior we become a new creature or a new race of people. We are Gods people by faith, there is no longer black, white, brown, yellow. We all become children of God our Father.

When we humble ourselves to love and understand our brothers and sisters in Christ, we wont have a problem understanding the rest of our neighbors in this world.

What a challenge we have as Christian to humble ourselves to our neighbors and more accurately reflect Jesus!

So, how do we not only gain appreciation, understanding, and empathy for the Jewish community, but also learn from and with them on these topics?
