Jesus acknowledged that the Jews were the descendants of Abraham, but that they weren’t the “children of Abraham” or the “children of God” anymore, but the “children of the devil”. Since Abraham is not their father, but the devil is, the promises that God gave to Abraham of those blessing Abrahams children being blessed does not apply to the Jews. They rejected Christ and are the children of the devil and not Abraham.
In John 8:37 Jesus said “I know you are Abraham’s descendants”.
in vs. 38, “If you were Abraham’s children,” said Jesus, “then you would[c] do what Abraham did.”
In vs 42, “If God were your Father, you would love me, for I have come here from God.
In vs 44, “You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires.“
And I mean most of all races, what do you think we're doing here all this time?
Even 36 yrs in today time is most stressing on our body and spirit, but we carry on because we see the harvest and the flesh may be weak, but the spirit, indwelled by His Spirit will run and not grow weary!!!
Many people do reject Christ, you can definitely call them the “children of the devil”. The “synagogue of Satan” description is specifically talking about Jews though.
Amen!!
I'm not so sure..
Amen!!
