1.5. The People of Israel according to the Flesh

And let the people of long ago, the Jewish people, be christened and baptized into Christ if it wants not to lose its election, if it wants to have Me as God and as Saviour, after it wrote itself upon the earth the name of a people that crucified Christ, the Son of God, when I came to search it out on the Father’s behalf; and it, knowing Me as the heir sent by the Father, gave Me over to death upon the cross so as to take My flock and My vineyard; but I rose and I took My vineyard and gave it to the Christian people, which inherits Me and to which I am Shepherd, but to which I am also Judge.
