We can through grace.<br /><br />I look at the history of Israel and all that befell her people through the centuries and it brings me back to the long list starting in Deuteronomy 28 verse 15. It is so much longer than the list of blessings that comes before. It seems that blessings are simple things but curses are complicated... decisions compound decisions.<br /><br />It is with such a mixture of sadness, yearning and gratefulness I face this reality head on. Like The Apostle Paul I want Israel to be saved. I want every person to be saved.<br /><br />Only an illumination of grace does that... a glimpse of Jesus as He really is and a recognition of what He has done has that power. There are no back doors... Jesus Himself is the only way out of pain and into eternal life.<br />Allan Leitnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17278248167038209038noreply@blogger.com
