Jesus came for all Nations

And again, Isaiah says, "The Root of Jesse will spring up, one who will arise to rule over the nations; the Gentiles will hope in him." — Romans 15:12

When Jesus came, he did come to the nation of Israel, according to the promises made to God's people. He was a proper descendant of King David, the son of Jesse. His birth was prophesied by Jewish prophets and recorded in the Bible of the Israelite people. But no matter how Jewish his origins, Jesus came for all people in fulfilment of Old Testament promises that God would save all nations through Israel and the Jewish Messiah.

While David brought Israel great power and notoriety as an awesome warrior and King, Jesus brought the reign of grace to the hearts of millions of Jews and non-Jews by conquering death and bringing true life.

Your Thoughts 

Romans 2:15-16
They show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts sometimes accusing them and at other times even defending them.)   This will take place on the day when God judges people’s secrets  through Jesus Christ,  as my gospel  declares.

Hebrews 4:12
For the word of God  is alive  and active.  Sharper than any double-edged sword,  it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.

Heaven Contains Your Record

Daniel 4:17
“‘The decision is announced by messengers, the holy ones declare the verdict, so that the living may know that the Most High  is sovereign  over all kingdoms on earth and gives them to anyone he wishes and sets over them the lowliest  of people.’

Matthew 18:10
See that you do not despise one of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels  in heaven always see the face of my Father in heaven.

Psalm 34:7
The angel of the Lord  encamps around those who fear him,
 and he delivers  them.

Hebrews 1:14
Are not all angels ministering spirits  sent to serve those who will inherit  salvation?
