Yom Kippur and Rosh Hashanah 2 Jewish Holy Days

Today is Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, a day of fasting and repentance, affording man the opportunity to cleanse himself of his sins and renew his relationship with God. Sept 16th Rosh Hashanah marked the start of the Jewish New year. Which is both a day of judgment for mankind, as well as an exhilarating time of closeness and reconciliation with God. Both these Holy days of sweetness and days of atonement are the culmination of a month-long process of coming back to God. Two Holy Days on the Jewish calendar. I've been praying for our Jewish brothers and sisters as God as asked His church, the BODY of Christ ( Who is our Savior and Messiah) to pray for the salvation of the Jews. During our Thursday night Bible Study of the Old Testament, God always forgives the Jews. Every time they repented and came crying to HIM, He would listen and pardon them of their idolatry, ungratefulness & rebellion. God continued to bless them, rescue them form bondage, evil kingdoms and He would give them victory over their enemies. This makes me think of God’s grace which always amazes me. Simply put, grace is God’s unmerited favor. There is nothing we have done, nor anything we could ever do, to deserve it, and this is what makes it so precious—and so amazing! So I'm learning to breathe, to love, to forgive and to bless those who might not deserve it. Let's help each other, lets pray for each other, lets bless each other, let's practice God's mercy and His grace on each other. Let's become willing to give of our self. Let's not just be takers only. Let's learn to be givers of love ,grace and mercy. Now I understand why Jesus asked his family to pray for the Jews. They are his family and He loves them unconditionally, just as He loves us unconditionally. He wants us to be one with them and with Him. Happy Yom Kippur brothers and sisters, remember we too are the children of God. BUT unlike our Jewish brothers and sisters, we have been bought with a price,with the precious blood of the Lamb of God.
