Morning Word from Pastor Peter Sunagawa

What does "Gentile" mean...? πŸ€”

It refers to people of all ethnicities except the Jewish people!

...Our current era is the era of "salvation for the Gentiles"!

...This has been going on for about 2000 years...
...and this era will eventually come to an end!

...Our gods, the gods of the Gentiles... are idolatrous gods!

Those gods... have no life!

And it is impossible for such idolatrous gods to save us!

...The gospel of Jesus Christ, the true God that the Jews served... has been spread through the hands of the Jews, at the risk of their lives.

And this gospel has been conveyed to you as well.

...The good news of Jesus Christ was conveyed to us, who once knew only false gods... and enabled all believers to be saved!

...And...we... place all our hopes in Jesus Christ.

...This gospel... will be spread throughout the world... and eventually, the end of humanity will come. ...There will be times when trials and difficulties hit you directly πŸ’₯
But...
"The Gentiles place their hope in his name (Jesus)"

Shalom πŸ˜ƒ
