Rather than “make game of the Jews,” why should Christians be thankful for their sacrifice?

Thomas R. Valletta

“‘Do they remember the travails, and the labors, and the pains of the Jews, and their diligence unto me, in bringing forth salvation unto the Gentiles?’ (2 Nephi 29:2–4.) If the hearts of the Christians of the world were truly centered on the Bible, as they profess, would they not have an entirely different feeling toward the Jews? Did not Jesus say that ‘salvation is of the Jews’? (John 4:22.) Was not Jesus a Jew, and did not the Bible come to us through Jewish hands? Can anyone truly believe and reverence the Bible without honoring and thanking the Jews?” (McConkie, New Witness, 462–63).
