IF YOU BELIEVE IN JESUS, YOU HAVE JEWISH ROOTS.
A CORRECT BIBLICAL WORLDVIEW HELPS CHRISTIANS BE GRATEFUL FOR OUR JEWISH ROOTS.
ANTI-SEMITISM IS THE SPIRIT OF ANTICHRIST.
Martin Luther (1483—1546)
“What then shall we Christians do with this damned, rejected race of Jews? I shall give you my sincere advice: First, to set fire to their synagogues or schools and to bury and cover with dirt whatever will not burn, so that no man will ever again see a stone or cinder of them.”
John Calvin (1509—1564)
“The Jews’ rotten and unbending stiff-neckedness deserves that they be oppressed unendingly and without measure or end and that they die in their misery without the pity of anyone.”

GOD'S SPECIAL OLIVE TREE
If you believe in Jesus, you have Jewish roots. To say that you are not interested in being a Jew is like saying you are not interested in knowing your true identity in Jesus.
Romans 2:28-29 (NLT)You are not a true Jew just because you were born of Jewish parents or because you have gone through the ceremony of circumcision. No, a true Jew is one whose heart is right with God.

JESUS IS THE ROOT & THE SEED OF GOD'S SPECIAL OLIVE TREE
Romans 15:12 (ESV)The root of Jesse will come, even he who arises to rule the Gentiles; in him will the Gentiles hope.
Revelation 22:16 (ESV)I am the root and the offspring [seed] of David.

BECAUSE OF JESUS, THE GENTILES ARE NO LONGER EXCLUDED.
Ephesians 2:11-13 (ESV)Therefore remember that at one time you Gentiles in the flesh … Remember that you were at that time separated from Christ, alienated from the commonwealthofIsrael and strangers to the covenantsofpromise, having no hope and without God in the world. But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.

BECAUSE OF JESUS, GENTILES ARE GRAFTED INTO GOD'S FAMILY TREE.
Romans 11:16-21 (ESV) … if the root is holy, so are the branches. But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, although a wild olive shoot, were grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing root of the olive tree, do not be arrogant toward the branches. If you are, remember it is not you who support the root, but the root that supports you.

BECAUSE OF JESUS, THE JEWS WILL BE GRAFTED BACK INTO GOD'S FAMILY TREE.
Romans 11:23-24 (ESV) God has the power to graft them [the Jews] in again. For if you were cut from what is by nature a wild olive tree, and grafted, contrary to nature, into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these, the natural branches [the Jews], be grafted back into their own olive tree.
