## Resource

As anti-Zionism spreads throughout the world, threatening to separate the Jewish people from their ancestral homeland, Christians are faced with an important question about their faith: Was Jesus a Zionist? In part 1 of our series answering this question, Chris digs into the Gospels to consider what the connection between the land of Israel and the Jewish people meant to our Savior. As we examine God’s promises to Israel concerning its land, you’ll understand why Jesus was a Zionist in word and deed and be encouraged to live as an unashamed Zionist too!
