Israel, The World?

 

Acts 15:16 "'After this I will return and rebuild David's fallen tent. Its ruins I will rebuild, and I will restore it, 17 that the rest of mankind may seek the Lord, even all the Gentiles who bear my name, says the Lord, who does these things'—

This is the verse that is quoted as the Jerusalem council offers the gift of the Risen Savior to the world of the Gentiles. The Evidence is not only the record of Paul as he went out on his journeys, but also Phillip and Peter in the earlier chapters of Acts. The vision of the triumph of The Lord had been pretty limited to a restoration of the nation of Israel in the new Kingdom opened by the death and resurrection of Christ. But clearly this was changing and the old structures were changed too. Morality was still expected, but the rules of temple, sacrifice and culture were no longer the heart of the people. His rule was to be direct, personal and holy. Is our vision of the church direct, personal and holy? Unto all the world.
