Chosen People Ministries

November 18th, 2008 · No Comments

A chosen people ministry is basically any ministry targeted towards the Jewish people. Chosen people ministries are especially important to us Christians because of the role that the Jewish people play in God’s plan. You see, before Jesus came around, Jews were the sole chosen people of God. That means that they were special in God’s eyes and that all of the Lord’s promises were made specifically to them. In the eyes of a Christian, Jews are the traditional chosen people, whereas Christians are sort of God’s adopted family. By bringing the Gospel of Jesus to the Jews, chosen people ministries give them the gift of salvation and help them to return to the house of God.

Of course, there are many different Christian opinions about chosen people ministries. For some Christians, Jews are just another group of people to be converted to Christianity. They do not see the Jews as different from any other religion that worships a false god. To them, by rejecting the New Testament, the Hebrews rejected the God of the Old Testament as well. The more common opinion, however – and the opinion of my church – is that the Jews are still important to God’s plan. In Revelations, the Bible clearly shows that the fate of the Jews is crucial to the eschaton. Until the Jews returned to Israel and until many of them convert to Christianity, the Messiah will not come. Apparently, the Jews are still more important to God than many of the other nations on earth.

That does not mean the chosen people ministries should take precedence over the other ministries. As Christians, it is our duty to convert lost souls and bring them back to Jesus. No one wants people to spend an eternity in hell fire and damnation, Yet this is the fate of all people who do not accept Jesus into their hearts. Ministering to chosen people is no more important than ministering to, say, Hindus or Catholics. Witnessing is the duty of a Christian, and there are many many people out there who need to be witnessed too.

Still, there is a certain affinity between Jews and Christians that makes chosen people Ministries especially powerful. The Old Testament provide some common ground, and most Jews still believe in a messiah. The main difference between Judaism and Christianity is that, while Christianity believes that the Messiah was Jesus, Jews tend to believe that the Messiah still hasn’t returned. This is something concrete that Christians and Jews can debate, and it provides a way that chosen people ministers all over the world can talk to the Jewish people.
