This was not something I learned growing up. Unfortunately, when there was a teaching in the Old Testament, it seemed way more of a replacement theology than anything. I only learned more about Israel and the Jews after a visit to the holocaust museum in DC – and going there made a big question appear. Why the Jews? That made me want to learn more and then I discovered that they are still really important and deeply loved by God. Sadly, I learned we as a church had a part in that, and that really chocked me. This knowledge made me change the way I read the Old Testament and the scriptures as a whole. It impacted my worldview as a Christian and follower of Christ. I want to bring awareness, I pray that in our generation the church grow in love for the Jewish people.
