How often do you think about the Jewishness of Christianity? Jesus was a Jewish Rabbi and His given name is Yeshua the Hebrew form of Jesus. Many Jewish people are being led to Him in these last days as the day approaches when He will return on the clouds and begin His Kingdom on earth.
Almost all of the old testiment prophesies about Him have been fullfilled and the Gospel or 'good news' about Him and what He has done for mankind is being preach in all the inhabited earth for a witness to His glory, to the 'Jew first' then to the gentiles or non-jew. These Jews who have put their faith in Yeshua as Messiah are know as Messianic Jews. They are on the increase even in Israel. They did not stop being Jewish because they now believe in Jesus and Jesus did not stop being Jewish because He is the Messiah.
So, I feel the need to explore the Jewish roots of Christianity. So far I find it very revealing because I'v been exposed to ancient Jewish wisdom. I find myself wanting to celebrate the Jewish holidays instead of the Christian holidays because these are the days That God said were to be celebrated. Christmas and Easter were decreed sacred by men 325 years after Jesus. So what is more important to you? What God says? Or what men say?
