The Jewish Star of David |
There have been some great discussion about Jesus being born Jewish, working as a Jewish carpenter and dying on the Cross for all of humankind and taking the burdens of sin with Him. There have also been great debates about the miracles that He performed throughout His ministry as well as the fact that He was raised from the dead three days after He was buried.
Along with these debates are the many books that have been written about the Jewish objections to Jesus. One series that I particularly like is the series of books written by Michael L. Brown, who, like myself was born Jewish and has accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior and the Messiah. I am not sure if he took the symbolic steps of Baptism, but this is something I hope to talk with him about personally.
I am actually working on a series about the Jewish objections to Jesus and will be using both the Old and New Testament (Application Study Bible, New International Version). In reading Michael Brown's Answering Jewish Objections to Jesus, Theological Objections, 2000, he looks at 28 of the objections and gives heartwarming and heartfelt answers so not to upset either his Christian brethren or Jewish Brethren. This book is Volume Two out of Four.
I will be quoting some ideas from his books as they are good and think they help us witness to our Jewish brothers and sisters. I am not here to convert anyone. I am to just state what is said in the Holy Bible and to share these statements, verses, scriptures and what is also known as The Good News, The Gospels of Jesus Christ.
In conclusion, most of you who read our blog, know that I am not a Jews for Jesus. What I am is a Completed Jew as I have accepted Jesus as my personal Lord and Savior, accepted Him as the Son of God and have accepted Him as the Messiah that I have been looking and yearning for all of my life and I also committed to the act of Baptismal by being immersed into water and raised again.
To my Jewish brothers and sisters, I love you as I love my Christian brethren and I truly hope that you will see what it is that I am presenting to you, not to say that I have forgotten my heritage, but that I have truly found the Messiah and hope that one day you will follow me.
The series on Jewish Objections to Christ will be presented at our website: www.missionlighthouseministry.org.
In Christ,
