Because His history has vindicated all that was peculiar in the Jewish polity. 3. Because He confined His personal ministry to the Jews. 4. Because He has stamped the impress of Jewish thought on the mind of man. 5. Because He has invested the condition and prospects of the Jews with universal interest. (G. Brooks.)
