We must #NeverForget. As a Christian, I find myself embarrassed and ashamed by the mixed historical record Christian churches have had when it comes to standing against antisemitism. We have not always loved our Jewish brothers and sisters. We missed opportunities to help Jews fleeing Nazi Germany, and some of our denominations embraced a theory that God had rejected his chosen people and replaced them with the church. I’m glad most Christians are beyond that. The Christians I know feel a strong kinship with the Jewish people and we stand against antisemitism in its various forms. #Israel #antisemitism #Holocaust

Greetings 👋
I take much comfort in these verses. What about you? How has God been faithful to you when the enemy came in like a flood?
“The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;
To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified.”
Isaiah 61: 1-3 (NIV).
