About this sermon
In this message, Asher points out that we tend to think of the cross only in terms of atonement—the forgiveness of sins. Amen. But at the time of Yeshua, the great contention that led to the crucifixion surrounded a single issue: is he really the Messiah, the “King of the Jews.” (John 18). Today, the prime minister of Israel sits in the earthly position of the 'King of the Jews,' but obviously does not “wear” the full messianic and divine mantle. . Because Israel ceased to be a nation for nearly 2000 years, this “king of the Jews” issue similarly disappeared. But now that Israel is again a nation, this leadership position has returned and is again the most contested and attacked position in the world. The spiritual battle over the Israeli government has to do with unity to form the coalition. You cannot form a government without a coalition and you cannot have a coalition without unity among the party leaders. This same issue is found in the international church today. The King is Yeshua, He's been elected (Ps 2), but there is not enough unity among His followers for His kingdom to function and advance. (John 17).
