In Matthew 15, Jesus reveals that He did not just come for the Jewish nation of Israel. He chose Israel to be the vessel that would bring Jesus, Yeshua, our Messiah into the World for all people. Because He chose Israel, we can now choose Jesus. We can choose to humbly repent and submit our lives in complete and total surrender and yield to Him as Lord and King now and for all eternity. We can in turn receive His life-saving mercy and grace. We can receive His healing and restoration. We can receive His peace and joy. We can receive His self-control and compassion. We can receive His Almighty Love. It's up to us to choose Jesus, heart and soul, and passionately pursue Him and His holiness with radical faith. He died for the sins of the whole world. It's up to us to choose to reach up and grab His hand and cling to Him with all our guts and every last exhale.
