The Covenant - The Story of My People

Very disappointing. The production in itself was fine but it totally missed the message of the New Covenant Jesus gave to the people of Israel.

Luke 22:20
In the same way, after the supper He (Jesus) took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.

The musical production shows the Jews celebrating Passover and giving thanks to God for delivering them out of Egypt. Their was no mention of the last supper Jesus celebrated with His disciples when He gave them the new covenant. The only reference to Jesus was John 8:7 When they kept on questioning him, He straightened up and said to them, “Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.”

The worst / greatest day in history, Jesus' crucifixion / resurrection not only for the Jews but for all of mankind, was totally missed. Jesus poured out His blood for His Jewish brethen and they rejected Him, the prophesied, long-awaited, Messiah.

The children of Abraham are the children who, in faith, believed in the promise of God. That promise now, because of the unbelief of the natural Jews and their rejection of the Christ, has now gone to the Gentiles, the spiritual Jews.

Jesus will return and those who pierced Him will mourn as the Old Testament prophets prophesied.

Isaiah 53:5 But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.

Zechariah 12:10 “And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and supplication. They will look on me, the one they have pierced, and they will mourn for him as one mourns for an only child, and grieve bitterly for him as one grieves for a firstborn son.

Revelation 1:7 “Look, He is coming with the clouds,” and “every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him”; and all peoples on earth “will mourn because of Him.” So shall it be! Amen. And then it will be too late.

If God could deliver His people from Pharoah He certainly could've delivered His people from the Nazi genocide. But like Pharoah their hearts were hardened. Throughout history God delivered His people and throughout history they have continued to reject Him.

The message the Jews have missed throughout history is that the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob loved them so much He gave His one and only Son Jesus to be the sacrificial lamb to pay for their sins. Jesus became sin, for them, for you, for me and for everyone else. He was the one, pure, perfect lamb, the ultimate sacrifice.
