And maybe this can be a step toward setting aside our ugly history. I do pray that the Lord would "pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and supplication. That they will look on Him, the one they have pierced, and mourn for him as one mourns for an only child, and grieve bitterly for him as one grieves for a firstborn son." (Zechariah 12:10)  And then in the Lord's time, "all Israel will be saved. As it is written, 'The Deliverer will come from Zion, he will banish ungodliness from Jacob.'" (Romans 11:26)
