“If you find that Jewish people are rather reluctant to acknowledge the claims of Jesus, or to give ear to the claims of the Christian gospel, you need to bear that fact in mind. They have a background of sixteen or more centuries of vicious, unjust persecution carried out in the name of Christ by professing Christians. You might ask: How can we make amends? The answer is, we can’t. There is nothing we can ever do that will expiate all the crimes that have been carried out in the name of Christ against the Jewish people for all those many centuries. We cannot make amends. But we should repent. If we repent, John the Baptist instructed the people of his day, ‘Bear fruits worthy of repentance’ (Matthew 4:8) In other words, ‘Do something practical to show that you really have repented.’”—Derek Prince
