Jesus In The Pulpit

Jesus In The Pulpit…

The house of parliament in Israel is called the Knesset, which means the meeting place or the gathering. It’s also translated as the word synagogue.

Jesus’s ministry is also connected to the word synagogue. It was there that Jesus’s ministry began, where He taught and healed, where the Gospel first spread, where Paul preached. That’s where the first Jewish and gentile believers came together.

The church began in the Knesset or synagogue. There’s only one nation on earth whose house of government is called by the name by which Jesus’s ministry began. That’s another sign that there’s a special link between the Jewish people and Jesus.

Jesus’s ministry will not be complete until it comes home to Israel. That’s where He’s going to set up His kingdom. As believers, we must be praying for the peace of Jerusalem, to prepare for it by working for the salvation of the Jewish people through our prayers, through our sharing the Gospel. The kingdom is going to come when Jesus returns to the synagogue of Israel to the Beit Ha Knesset.

For I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.’ Matthew 23:39

Take time today to pray for Israel and the salvation of the Jewish people.

Walk daily with God at your side!

Love always,

Ed
