The rejection of Jesus; or who killed Jesus in not the central - TopicsExpress



          

The rejection of Jesus; or who killed Jesus in not the central theme at all, the central theme is not who rejected Jesus or who was responsible for His crucifixion. The central theme is this: Israel was responsible to have faith in Jesus. That faith or lack thereof, would determine which destiny would be set in motion, the Kingdom of the cross (blessing or curse). This is why we saw Jesus in the early part of His mission focussing exclusively on that issue of the faith of the Jew (Matt. 10:5, 15:24). Once that faith was not forthcoming, the destiny of the cross was implemented (Matt. 16:21). The faithful response of Jews after the cross, did not restore the original role of Israel. That was lost and soon after Israel was destroyed (as promised if faithlessness prevailed, see Deut. 28 and 29:24).
