Dear Christian Leaders,

 

As we celebrate the birth of Jesus this week, let us remember that he  was born in the ancient town of Bethlehem, in the province of Judea, in  Israel - the historic and biblical homeland of the Jewish people. Let us  not forget that Jesus was born a Jew, a direct descendent of King David  of the tribe of Judah, who too was born in Bethlehem.

 

Let us also remember that when, according to Matthew 25:40, Jesus said,  "Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who  are members of my family, you did it to me," he was not only speaking of  the poor and oppressed, as is commonly understood. He was, in fact,  referring to his brethren in the flesh, the Jewish people. In other  words, Jesus equates our treatment of the Jewish people with our  treatment of him.

 

So this Christmas, as we celebrate everything that Jesus' life means to  us as Christians, let us deepen our commitment to stand in solidarity  with his family, the Jewish people, and in support of Israel, the  ancient Jewish homeland.

 

Have a very joyous and meaningful Christmas!
