There was a church that kept the Sabbath...

Last week, I heard a program (as I laid in bed in a half-awake state) on 3ABN Radio that had a provocative theme or title, which the narrator repeated quite a few times during the hour long program.  It was something like this:

There was a church that kept the Sabbath, gave its tithe, and was expecting the Messiah - its Savior; It crucified its Savior.

I was profoundly impressed by this phrase, every time it was repeated.    

The Sermon was  about ancient Israel and its Theocracy;  It mentioned how the established Jewish (Sanhedrin and its Temple at Jerusalem) church rejected Jesus, despite His personal testimony (ministry and resurrection), and all the prophecies contained in the Old Testament about His identity.

I find it extremely incredible how such an error could have occurred?

They saw His miracles, saw all the people He healed, even a few He resurrected?

Yet, they didn't want to believe their own eyes.

The greater dilemma lies in the possibility that such a travesty could happen again...

Just like the Jewish Sanhedrin, Pharisees, Sadducees, Scribes and Elders of Jesus' day.

Could there be such a group of people today?  That will reject the Lord Jesus Christ in spite of all their profession of faith?

A Church that keeps the 7th day Sabbath, and meticulously returns a tithe, and is (purportedly) expecting its Savior? 

A church that would reject, and if given a chance would crucify Jesus Christ again?

Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?

Luke 18:8b
