Have you ever wondered how Jesus lived His day to day life and what He did on Friday night? Maybe you have and maybe you haven't thought about this, but I did and this is what sent me on the quest to discover just how Jesus lived. I started my search of the Jewish Jesus not just the one found in the New Testament but the one found in the Tanakh (the Old Testament for those that read King James). He's there alright! From the beginning to the end, Jesus the Lamb slain before the foundation of the world. Jesus our Kinsman Redeemer.
And just to get your mind thinking, there is no J in the Hebrew alphabet. That's right, no letter J. His Momma called Him Yeshua and so did His family and friends. Would you like to call Him by His Hebrew name? Yeshua! Welcome to the family. You are now speaking Hebrew the language of the people of the land of Israel, the place where God set His name.
Stop by often as I will post a new teaching on the Jewishness of our Saviour Yeshua. The church has be separated from it's Jewish roots - Jusdaism can explain itself with Christianity, but Christianity cannot explain itself outside of Judaism. It may come as a surprise to many but Jesus, that is Yeshua was born a Jew, died a Jew and will return as a Jew. He will set up His 1000 year reign in Jerusalem and will rule the nations by His Word.

The key to understanding the New Testament is to have an understanding of the Old. For example, a Hebrew perspective on the New Testament tells us that our Father's plan for mankind is so much more merciful and wonderful than what most of modern Christianity teaches. A Hebrew perspective also puts the lie to the idea that the gift of our salvation serves as a license to sin with abandonment (once saved always saved). Paul clearly tells us that salvation can be lost. Our Messiah, himself, also told us that he will measure our love for him by our obedience ("If you love me, obey my commandments"). We can't be perfect, but we should still try our best to be obedient children and to make our Father proud. Let us love our fellow man as we love ourselves and, first and foremost, love our Father above all else. My recommendation to all those who seek the true Bible is to actually read it. Put your preconceptions aside and start reading from Genesis to Revelation, just as you would a novel, and your eyes will be opened.
