Jew, Spanish of Israel
Jew, Spanish of Israel The “Spanish” Jews of Israel are likely to have descended from the Jews expelled from Spain in 1492 who settled in various parts of the Ottoman Empire, in particular Salonica and Istanbul. Ladino was the traditional language of the majority of Sephardim (historically “Jews from the Iberian peninsula”), also known as Judeo-Spanish. Their language is a Romance language derived mainly from Old Castilian (Spanish), with many borrowings from Turkish and other languages.Ministry Obstacles For a Jew to openly follow Christ as his or her Messiah is to risk losing friendships and family, suffering ostracism in the community. Outreach Ideas The good news of Christ is available to the peoples of Israel if they will but seek it. Pray for hearts to seek among the Jews of Israel. Pray for the followers of Christ The Lord is calling His ancient people, the Jews, to Himself in increasing numbers. Pray for the followers of Jesus the Messiah among the Spanish Jews, that they will follow Jesus with the same zeal that Paul the apostle demonstrated. Pray for the entire people group Pray for the Spanish Jews to increasingly have the veil of lack of understanding removed from their eyes. Pray they will clearly see Jesus as the promised Messiah the prophets foretold. Scripture Focus “Blessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel, Who alone works wonders.

Charles Spurgeon’s Morning Devotion:

“The love of Christ constraineth us.”
– 2 Corinthians 5:14
How much owest thou unto my Lord? Has he ever done anything for thee? Has he forgiven thy sins? Has he covered thee with a robe of righteousness? Has he set thy feet upon a rock? Has he established thy goings? Has he prepared heaven for thee? Has he prepared thee for heaven? Has he written thy name in his book of life? Has he given thee countless blessings? Has he laid up for thee a store of mercies, which eye hath not seen nor ear heard? Then do something for Jesus worthy of his love. Give not a mere wordy offering to a dying Redeemer. How will you feel when your Master comes, if you have to confess that you did nothing for him, but kept your love shut up, like a stagnant pool, neither flowing forth to his poor or to his work. Out on such love as that! What do men think of a love which never shows itself in action? Why, they say, “Open rebuke is better than secret love.” Who will accept a love so weak that it does not actuate you to a single deed of self-denial, of generosity, of heroism, or zeal! Think how he has loved you, and given himself for you! Do you know the power of that love? Then let it be like a rushing mighty wind to your soul to sweep out the clouds of your worldliness, and clear away the mists of sin. “For Christ’s sake” be this the tongue of fire that shall sit upon you: “for Christ’s sake” be this the divine rapture, the heavenly afflatus to bear you aloft from earth, the divine spirit that shall make you bold as lions and swift as eagles in your Lord’s service. Love should give wings to the feet of service, and strength to the arms of labour. Fixed on God with a constancy that is not to be shaken, resolute to honour him with a determination that is not to be turned aside, and pressing on with an ardour never to be wearied, let us manifest the constraints of love to Jesus. May the divine loadstone draw us heavenward towards itself.
