Growing up in Church, I was always taught little songs about Jesus, the Bible, Abraham, and many other biblical stories. Still to this day I can remember many of those songs, but there is one I would particularly like to point out and that is “Jesus Loves the Little Children.” My wife and I were talking about this song yesterday and how many Christians seem to miss the point of the song (which is really one of the main points of the NT).

The song is pretty simple, but for those of you who don’t know it, it goes like this:

Jesus loves the little children
All the children of the world
Red, brown, yellow
Black and white
They are precious in His sight.
Jesus loves the little children
Of the world.

It has three verses, above is the first, and the second and third are the same only replacing the word “love” with “died” and “rose.” But if you’ll notice, the song says that Jesus loves all the children of the world. And this is a theme that we can find throughout the New Testament. Take for example John 3:16: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” Or Romans 5:8, “But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”

The Bible gives us a very clear illustration of how much God loves each and everyone of us. So the question that must then be asked is, if we are taught this song as children, why is it that many of these Christians, as they get older, become Zionists declaring that the Jews of Israel are still God’s “chosen people” creating division among the Jews, Christians, and the rest of the world?

In the Bible we are told many things in regards to this current Zionist situation. First of all, Paul writes many times that “there is neither Jew nor Greek [or Gentile]” (Romans 3:22, 29; 1 Corinthians 12:13; Galatians 3:28; Colossians 3:11; etc.) There should be no division among people for we are all created by God and He loves each one of us. The only “chosen people,” if you wish to call it that, are those who comprise the body of Christ—the Church. Which through Christ there is no longer a dividing partition, but we have all been brought together into one body as long as we have faith in Jesus Christ:

13 But now in Christ Jesus, you who once were far away have come to be near by the blood of Christ. 14 For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and who destroyed the dividing wall of separation, 15 having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, that He might create in Himself one new man [from] the two, [thus] making peace, 16 and that He might reconcile them both to God in one body through the cross, putting to death the enmity in Himself. (Ephesians 2:13–16)

The second thing is that since God loves all the children and “desires all men to be saved and to come to the full knowledge of the truth” (1 Timothy 2:4), how can Zionists justify funding the Jews who, first of all, don’t even believe in Jesus as the Messiah and secondly are killing Christians, Muslims, and others by the thousands? If God is love (1 John 4:8) and He wants all men to be saved, then how can it be justifiable and God’s will that the Jews kill anyone who isn’t a Jew and Zionist Christians stand by and support it? The answer is simple…it’s not God’s will.

Christ came and gave us a new command: “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; just as I have loved you, that you also love one another” (John 13:34). Murder isn’t an act of love, nor is the denial of Jesus as the Messiah. Jesus didn’t go around killing all the non-Jews or anyone who disagreed with Him, so why should we?

As children of God, we are taught to love one another and to bring others to Christ (Matthew 28:19, 20). Promoting/supporting the killing of Christians and non-Christians isn’t following the will of God, but the will of the devil: “You are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father you desire to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has not stood in the truth, because there is no truth in him…” (John 8:44). As true Christians we are to follow Christ’s example and He came and destroyed the dividing wall among men. We are to do the same and bring men together into the Church, not create new walls that others cannot overcome. By doing so we will be preventing others from finding eternal life, which is the complete opposite of our calling.
