First The Jew
Branches And Roots
I believe that true Christianity or The Way is different to what we celebrate today as Christianity. Unity was the key to living a true Christian life. The New Testament is full of examples where the Apostles had to discuss the problems in the church "Ekklesia" which means assembly there were no denominations just a body of believers who loved Christ.
Jesus give gifts to his body a 5 Fold ministry laid out in Ephesians 4 v 11. These gifts are to help Jesus earthly body (his church) grow into people worthy to be called his name where people see us and want to be like us because they see Jesus Christ in us.
The Jews had an understanding of who God was ( See John 4 v 22), their problem was that they did not understand the plan God had to include The Gentiles into the plan of Salvation.
We must therefore remember that it was the Jews who turned the world upside down with Christianity ( see Acts 17 v 6) The Gentile (Roman Paganism) entered the church by denying the true Jewish roots and to this day the branches are dictating how the church should be.
My prayer is that we all submit to the Holy Spirit the author of the bible and walk in truth and unity.
