As Christians, he says, we are convinced that the Old Testament is directed toward Christ, and that Christianity, instead of being a new religion, is simply the Old Testament read anew in Christ.


We can be certain that Israel has a special place in God�s plans and a special mission to accomplish today. The Jews �still stand within the faithful covenant of God,� and, we believe, �they will in the end be together with us in Christ.� �We are waiting for the moment when Israel, too, will say Yes to Christ,� but until that moment comes all of us, Jews and Christians, �stand within the patience of God,� of whose faithfulness we can rest assured.
