Many times when a Gentile speaks to a Jew of spiritual things, he sees the Jew as one of those who rejected Christ--with all it implies. The answer to that, of course, is: "Did the Gentiles as a whole accept Christ?" An overwhelming, tragic "no"! What percentage of Gentiles, even those of the Western world, have accepted Jesus as Savior and Lord of their lives? The percentage is small. In many countries, one would have to search far and wide to find even a few born-again believers. The truth is, man has rejected God; and Jesus died because of, and for, all mankind.

A Jew without salvation is no different from a Chinese, American or any other Gentile without salvation. If he is lost, he is no more lost than the liberal or fundamental churchman who claims a name without the reality. All mankind stands naked before God; in great compassion and love He has offered redemption to all. The message for today's Jewish person is:

"Comfort, O comfort My people," says your God.

"Speak kindly to Jerusalem; And call out to her, that her warfare has ended, That her iniquity has been removed, That she has received of the Lord's hand Double for all her sins" (Isa. 40:1,2).

Although we know the time of Jacob's trouble is yet to come upon Israel, indeed upon all the earth, we are assured also that the time of Israel's redemption is near. And to every Gentile believer filled with the love of God, those verses speak straight to his heart.
