Jewish Voice with Jonathan Bernis | Jonathan Bernis: What is Messianic Judaism? | Jewish Voice Ministries | May 7, 2025

Jesus was born a jew,
00:00:01.960 --> 00:00:03.896
He lived as a jew,
00:00:03.962 --> 00:00:04.930
He died king of the jews,
00:00:04.997 --> 00:00:06.298
He's coming back to the lion
00:00:06.365 --> 00:00:07.232
Of the tribe of judah.
00:00:07.299 --> 00:00:09.034
That as jews and gentiles

How can you believe in jesus and still be jewish?

In jesus and still be jewish? and, the answer is very simple,
00:01:20.205 --> 00:01:22.141
And, the answer is very simple, jesus was jewish.
00:01:22.207 --> 00:01:24.910
Jesus was jewish. >> when we see pictures of jesus
00:01:24.977 --> 00:01:26.778
>> when we see pictures of jesus modeled today many times
00:01:26.845 --> 00:01:28.180
Modeled today many times he doesn't look like
00:01:28.247 --> 00:01:29.148
He doesn't look like a jewish figure,
00:01:29.214 --> 00:01:30.482
A jewish figure, he looks like
00:01:30.549 --> 00:01:31.483
He looks like a non-jewish figure.
00:01:31.550 --> 00:01:33.352
A non-jewish figure. but when we remember,
00:01:33.418 --> 00:01:34.953
But when we remember, and we realize that
00:01:35.020 --> 00:01:36.855
And we realize that our foundation and our faith
00:01:36.922 --> 00:01:39.158
Our foundation and our faith begins with jesus,
00:01:39.224 --> 00:01:40.359
Begins with jesus, the jewish messiah,
00:01:40.425 --> 00:01:41.660
The jewish messiah, everything changes.
00:01:41.727 --> 00:01:42.227
Everything changes. and i think it's super
00:01:42.294 --> 00:01:43.095
And i think it's super important for the world,
00:01:43.162 --> 00:01:44.496
Important for the world, and especially the church world,
00:01:44.563 --> 00:01:46.598
And especially the church world, to hear this message because
00:01:46.665 --> 00:01:48.100
To hear this message because messianic judaism plays
00:01:48.167 --> 00:01:49.668
Messianic judaism plays a very, very important role
00:01:49.735 --> 00:01:51.003
A very, very important role in the return of jesus.
00:01:51.069 --> 00:01:52.004
In the return of jesus. >> i think what confuses it
00:01:52.070 --> 00:01:53.338
>> i think what confuses it is 2,000 years of history,
00:01:53.405 --> 00:01:55.741
Is 2,000 years of history, where the church
00:01:55.807 --> 00:01:56.708
Where the church and the synagogue,
00:01:56.775 --> 00:01:58.076
And the synagogue, jews and christians,
00:01:58.143 --> 00:01:59.611
Jews and christians, separated distinctly.
00:01:59.678 --> 00:02:01.980
Separated distinctly. a wall in between,
00:02:02.047 --> 00:02:03.749
A wall in between, a mode in between,
00:02:03.815 --> 00:02:04.483
A mode in between, persecution on
00:02:04.550 --> 00:02:05.851
Persecution on the part of each, right?
00:02:05.918 --> 00:02:07.920
The part of each, right? antagonism on the part of each
00:02:07.986 --> 00:02:09.588
Antagonism on the part of each established as very separate,
00:02:09.655 --> 00:02:12.124
Established as very separate, different religions,
00:02:12.191 --> 00:02:14.259
Different religions, but that's not the case.
00:02:14.326 --> 00:02:15.661
But that's not the case. the first followers
00:02:15.727 --> 00:02:16.328
The first followers of yeshua, jesus,
00:02:16.395 --> 00:02:17.863
Of yeshua, jesus, all jews and they never had
00:02:17.930 --> 00:02:19.097
All jews and they never had any concept of living
00:02:19.164 --> 00:02:20.199
Any concept of living any other way.
00:02:20.265 --> 00:02:21.733
Any other way. but, let's talk, scott,
00:02:21.800 --> 00:02:22.768
But, let's talk, scott, about defining modern
00:02:22.834 --> 00:02:25.003
About defining modern messianic judaism.
00:02:25.070 --> 00:02:27.139
Messianic judaism. what is modern
00:02:27.206 --> 00:02:28.740
What is modern messianic judaism?
00:02:28.807 --> 00:02:30.542
Messianic judaism? >> well, messianic judaism
00:02:30.609 --> 00:02:32.277
>> well, messianic judaism is really --
00:02:32.344 --> 00:02:33.512
Is really -- i wanna say it's more
00:02:33.579 --> 00:02:34.913
I wanna say it's more than a religion.
00:02:34.980 --> 00:02:36.615
Than a religion. i think if people put
00:02:36.682 --> 00:02:37.216
I think if people put the religion tag on it,
00:02:37.282 --> 00:02:38.383
The religion tag on it, it becomes something other
00:02:38.450 --> 00:02:39.318
It becomes something other than what it really is.
00:02:39.384 --> 00:02:41.053
Than what it really is. messianic judaism
00:02:41.119 --> 00:02:42.120
Messianic judaism is simply this,
00:02:42.187 --> 00:02:43.956
Is simply this, jewish people who recognize
00:02:44.022 --> 00:02:45.624
Jewish people who recognize who the messiah is.
00:02:45.691 --> 00:02:47.459
Who the messiah is. we are now messianic jews.
00:02:47.526 --> 00:02:50.162
We are now messianic jews. it doesn't mean we worship
00:02:50.229 --> 00:02:52.030
It doesn't mean we worship differently than we were
00:02:52.097 --> 00:02:53.098
Differently than we were when we were jews,
00:02:53.165 --> 00:02:54.132
When we were jews, it just means that we recognize
00:02:54.199 --> 00:02:56.201
It just means that we recognize as jews that jesus, yeshua,
00:02:56.268 --> 00:02:58.804
As jews that jesus, yeshua, is the promised messiah.
00:02:58.870 --> 00:03:01.073
Is the promised messiah. it's as simple as that,
00:03:01.139 --> 00:03:03.041
It's as simple as that, and i believe that
00:03:03.108 --> 00:03:04.142
And i believe that there's a place in this
00:03:04.209 --> 00:03:05.110
There's a place in this earth today where messianic jews
00:03:05.177 --> 00:03:08.580
Earth today where messianic jews are being raised up
00:03:08.647 --> 00:03:10.315
Are being raised up to demonstrate not only
00:03:10.382 --> 00:03:11.516
To demonstrate not only that jesus was jewish,
00:03:11.583 --> 00:03:13.051
That jesus was jewish, but that we serve
00:03:13.118 --> 00:03:14.620
But that we serve a jewish messiah
00:03:14.686 --> 00:03:16.588
A jewish messiah and that his purpose is
00:03:16.655 --> 00:03:17.856
And that his purpose is to bring salvation to every
00:03:17.923 --> 00:03:19.424
To bring salvation to every ethnicity of the world.
00:03:19.491 --> 00:03:20.559
Ethnicity of the world. >> yes, exactly.
00:03:20.626 --> 00:03:21.460
>> yes, exactly. there's a statement in acts
00:03:21.526 --> 00:03:23.795
There's a statement in acts that's so good that it makes it
00:03:23.862 --> 00:03:26.865
That's so good that it makes it clear that the first followers,
00:03:26.932 --> 00:03:28.200
Clear that the first followers, jewish followers of jesus,
00:03:28.267 --> 00:03:30.969
Jewish followers of jesus, did not convert
00:03:31.036 --> 00:03:31.870
Did not convert to another religion.
00:03:31.937 --> 00:03:32.838
To another religion. >> right.
00:03:32.904 --> 00:03:33.272
>> right. >> their conversion
00:03:33.338 --> 00:03:34.506
>> their conversion was their faith in god.
00:03:34.573 --> 00:03:37.276
Was their faith in god. the did a repentance,
00:03:37.342 --> 00:03:38.977
The did a repentance, an about turn,
00:03:39.044 --> 00:03:41.046
An about turn, a 180 degree turn,
00:03:41.113 --> 00:03:43.849
A 180 degree turn, but they didn't leave
00:03:43.915 --> 00:03:45.217
But they didn't leave their religion,
00:03:45.284 --> 00:03:45.684
Their religion, they didn't leave
00:03:45.751 --> 00:03:46.251
They didn't leave their heritage,
00:03:46.318 --> 00:03:47.119
Their heritage, they simply discovered
00:03:47.185 --> 00:03:48.587
They simply discovered that jesus was
00:03:48.654 --> 00:03:49.354
That jesus was the promised messiah.
00:03:49.421 --> 00:03:50.789
The promised messiah. and that discovery brought them
00:03:50.856 --> 00:03:52.658
And that discovery brought them to a place of repentance,
00:03:52.724 --> 00:03:54.559
To a place of repentance, and conversion,
00:03:54.626 --> 00:03:56.461
And conversion, meaning they're going in
00:03:56.528 --> 00:03:57.129
Meaning they're going in the other direction,
00:03:57.195 --> 00:03:57.896
The other direction, not to another religion.
00:03:57.963 --> 00:03:59.464
Not to another religion. they never perceived
00:03:59.531 --> 00:04:00.766
They never perceived themselves as christian.
00:04:00.832 --> 00:04:02.467
Themselves as christian. now, people ask me,
00:04:02.534 --> 00:04:03.869
Now, people ask me, "you're jewish,
00:04:03.935 --> 00:04:04.303
"you're jewish, but are you a christian?"
00:04:04.369 --> 00:04:05.604
But are you a christian?" and it depends
00:04:05.671 --> 00:04:06.672
And it depends who the questioner is.
00:04:06.738 --> 00:04:08.573
Who the questioner is. you don't answer the question,
00:04:08.640 --> 00:04:10.876
You don't answer the question, you answer the questioner.
00:04:10.942 --> 00:04:12.544
You answer the questioner. >> come on.
00:04:12.611 --> 00:04:12.911
>> come on. >> very, very important point.
00:04:12.978 --> 00:04:14.413
>> very, very important point. if they're looking
00:04:14.479 --> 00:04:15.514
If they're looking for you to say,
00:04:15.580 --> 00:04:16.214
For you to say, "yes, i've left
00:04:16.281 --> 00:04:16.915
"yes, i've left my jewish heritage
00:04:16.982 --> 00:04:18.917
My jewish heritage to become a christian,"
00:04:18.984 --> 00:04:20.686
To become a christian," my answer is no.
00:04:20.752 --> 00:04:23.021
My answer is no. but if you understand that
00:04:23.088 --> 00:04:24.423
But if you understand that the messiah is personal,
00:04:24.489 --> 00:04:27.259
The messiah is personal, and that he's standing
00:04:27.326 --> 00:04:28.760
And that he's standing at the door of our
00:04:28.827 --> 00:04:29.561
At the door of our heart and knocking.
00:04:29.628 --> 00:04:30.595
Heart and knocking. he wants to come into our lives.
00:04:30.662 --> 00:04:31.997
He wants to come into our lives. this is the human form
00:04:32.064 --> 00:04:36.802
This is the human form of the godhead.
00:04:36.868 --> 00:04:39.004
Of the godhead. >> yeah.
00:04:39.071 --> 00:04:39.671
>> yeah. >> right?
00:04:39.738 --> 00:04:40.205
>> right? this is --
00:04:40.272 --> 00:04:40.806
This is -- we understand god now,
00:04:40.872 --> 00:04:42.741
We understand god now, that god is father,
00:04:42.808 --> 00:04:45.110
That god is father, he's the father,
00:04:45.177 --> 00:04:46.244
He's the father, and the son, the mashiach,
00:04:46.311 --> 00:04:48.146
And the son, the mashiach, and the holy spirit all working
00:04:48.213 --> 00:04:49.915
And the holy spirit all working together but they're one.
00:04:49.981 --> 00:04:50.816
Together but they're one. >> one.
00:04:50.882 --> 00:04:51.383
>> one. >> and it's yeshua that knocks
00:04:51.450 --> 00:04:54.419
>> and it's yeshua that knocks at the doors of our heart
00:04:54.486 --> 00:04:55.487
At the doors of our heart and we invite him in
00:04:55.554 --> 00:04:57.522
And we invite him in and it's transformational.
00:04:57.589 --> 00:04:59.324
And it's transformational. >> i love it.
00:04:59.391 --> 00:04:59.825
>> i love it. >> but we're jews.
00:04:59.891 --> 00:05:00.826
>> but we're jews. we're still jews.
00:05:00.892 --> 00:05:01.793
We're still jews. we found the messiah but
00:05:01.860 --> 00:05:03.628
We found the messiah but something just changes in us,
00:05:03.695 --> 00:05:05.797
Something just changes in us, but we still understand
00:05:05.864 --> 00:05:07.165
But we still understand that we're still jews,
00:05:07.232 --> 00:05:08.133
That we're still jews, we live as jews,
00:05:08.200 --> 00:05:09.501
We live as jews, but we have the promised
00:05:09.568 --> 00:05:10.669
But we have the promised messiah and it
00:05:10.736 --> 00:05:11.436
Messiah and it changes our lives.
00:05:11.503 --> 00:05:12.738
Changes our lives. >> when my parents came
00:05:12.804 --> 00:05:14.106
>> when my parents came to the lord in the early 1970s
00:05:14.172 --> 00:05:17.242
To the lord in the early 1970s they were viewed by some
00:05:17.309 --> 00:05:18.477
They were viewed by some of their family members
00:05:18.543 --> 00:05:19.644
Of their family members as leaving judaism
00:05:19.711 --> 00:05:21.313
As leaving judaism and converting to this
00:05:21.380 --> 00:05:23.148
And converting to this foreign religion.
00:05:23.215 --> 00:05:24.816
Foreign religion. but, really, that's not
00:05:24.883 --> 00:05:25.884
But, really, that's not what it is at all as you
00:05:25.951 --> 00:05:27.085
What it is at all as you so adequately stated before.
00:05:27.152 --> 00:05:29.921
So adequately stated before. we have to remember that
00:05:29.988 --> 00:05:31.823
We have to remember that jesus was born a jew,
00:05:31.890 --> 00:05:33.825
Jesus was born a jew, he lived as a jew,
00:05:33.892 --> 00:05:34.559
He lived as a jew, he died king of the jews,
00:05:34.626 --> 00:05:35.861
He died king of the jews, he's coming back to the lion
00:05:35.927 --> 00:05:36.995
He's coming back to the lion of the tribe of judah.
00:05:37.062 --> 00:05:38.864
Of the tribe of judah. sometimes, i go jew-duh,
00:05:38.930 --> 00:05:41.733
Sometimes, i go jew-duh, but listen,
00:05:41.800 --> 00:05:42.167
But listen, that doesn't make people
00:05:42.234 --> 00:05:43.301
That doesn't make people who are not born jewish
00:05:43.368 --> 00:05:44.536
Who are not born jewish who believe in jesus any less,
00:05:44.603 --> 00:05:47.139
Who believe in jesus any less, it just means that as jews
00:05:47.205 --> 00:05:48.440
It just means that as jews and gentiles we have
00:05:48.507 --> 00:05:50.208
And gentiles we have found the messiah
00:05:50.275 --> 00:05:51.643
Found the messiah and now it's our role.
00:05:51.710 --> 00:05:53.812
And now it's our role. we are called as the church
00:05:53.879 --> 00:05:55.380
We are called as the church to bring the gospel back
00:05:55.447 --> 00:05:57.282
To bring the gospel back to the people from
00:05:57.349 --> 00:05:58.116
To the people from whom it originated,
00:05:58.183 --> 00:05:59.484
Whom it originated, jesus the jewish messiah.
00:05:59.551 --> 00:06:00.685
Jesus the jewish messiah. >> we're equal but there's this
00:06:00.752 --> 00:06:01.586
>> we're equal but there's this beautiful picture in romans 11
00:06:01.653 --> 00:06:03.722
Beautiful picture in romans 11 about an olive tree.
00:06:03.789 --> 00:06:05.590
About an olive tree. and there's two kind
00:06:05.657 --> 00:06:06.425
And there's two kind of branches in the olive tree.
00:06:06.491 --> 00:06:07.692
Of branches in the olive tree. the olive tree represents
00:06:07.759 --> 00:06:10.429
The olive tree represents the priesthood, the people,
00:06:10.495 --> 00:06:12.197
The priesthood, the people, the faith that god originated
00:06:12.264 --> 00:06:16.101
The faith that god originated coming through abraham,
00:06:16.168 --> 00:06:17.569
Coming through abraham, isaac, and jacob.
00:06:17.636 --> 00:06:18.503
Isaac, and jacob. >> yeah.
00:06:18.570 --> 00:06:18.837
>> yeah. >> and there's two branches:
00:06:18.904 --> 00:06:19.938
>> and there's two branches: there's wild branches
00:06:20.005 --> 00:06:22.007
There's wild branches and there's natural branches.
00:06:22.073 --> 00:06:23.708
And there's natural branches. jews coming back into
00:06:23.775 --> 00:06:25.911
Jews coming back into a relationship with
00:06:25.977 --> 00:06:26.978
A relationship with the god of israel
00:06:27.045 --> 00:06:28.113
The god of israel through their messiah
00:06:28.180 --> 00:06:29.247
Through their messiah are natural olive branches
00:06:29.314 --> 00:06:31.049
Are natural olive branches being put back in to the root,
00:06:31.116 --> 00:06:33.752
Being put back in to the root, right, to get the --
00:06:33.819 --> 00:06:35.020
Right, to get the -- then we get the nourishment.
00:06:35.086 --> 00:06:36.488
Then we get the nourishment. >> yeah.
00:06:36.555 --> 00:06:37.022
>> yeah. >> relationship with god,
00:06:37.088 --> 00:06:38.256
>> relationship with god, because this isn't about
00:06:38.323 --> 00:06:39.925
Because this isn't about religion it's about
00:06:39.991 --> 00:06:40.725
Religion it's about relationship.
00:06:40.792 --> 00:06:41.426
Relationship. >> yeah.
00:06:41.493 --> 00:06:41.726
>> yeah. >> and the gentiles,
00:06:41.793 --> 00:06:44.529
>> and the gentiles, who were not born
00:06:44.596 --> 00:06:46.498
Who were not born or raised in a jewish home
00:06:46.565 --> 00:06:48.333
Or raised in a jewish home are wild branches, but they're
00:06:48.400 --> 00:06:50.035
Are wild branches, but they're being put back in --
00:06:50.101 --> 00:06:51.169
Being put back in -- it's engrafting.
00:06:51.236 --> 00:06:52.137
It's engrafting. >> yeah.
00:06:52.204 --> 00:06:52.537
>> yeah. >> the bible
00:06:52.604 --> 00:06:53.071
>> the bible calls it engrafting.
00:06:53.138 --> 00:06:54.306
Calls it engrafting. they may look slightly different
00:06:54.372 --> 00:06:55.640
They may look slightly different but they're receiving
00:06:55.707 --> 00:06:57.142
But they're receiving the same sap,
00:06:57.209 --> 00:06:58.109
The same sap, the same nourishment.
00:06:58.176 --> 00:06:59.344
The same nourishment. one in messiah.
00:06:59.411 --> 00:07:00.679
One in messiah. >> it's really interesting,
00:07:00.745 --> 00:07:01.646
>> it's really interesting, jonathan.
00:07:01.713 --> 00:07:02.781
Jonathan. i see more jewish believers
00:07:02.848 --> 00:07:05.584
I see more jewish believers living in a church world
00:07:05.650 --> 00:07:07.452
Living in a church world having put aside everything
00:07:07.519 --> 00:07:10.255
Having put aside everything from their "jewish"
00:07:10.322 --> 00:07:11.456
From their "jewish" upbringing thinking that no,
00:07:11.523 --> 00:07:13.425
Upbringing thinking that no, now they're part of this
00:07:13.492 --> 00:07:14.259
Now they're part of this christian faith.
00:07:14.326 --> 00:07:15.594
Christian faith. we've gotta be able to say,
00:07:15.660 --> 00:07:16.862
We've gotta be able to say, "okay, listen,
00:07:16.928 --> 00:07:17.996
"okay, listen, everything that was written
00:07:18.063 --> 00:07:18.697
Everything that was written in the jewish scriptures is
00:07:18.763 --> 00:07:20.765
In the jewish scriptures is foundational for us today."
00:07:20.832 --> 00:07:22.634
Foundational for us today." >> what makes us messianic jews?
00:07:22.701 --> 00:07:24.936
>> what makes us messianic jews? the term messianic jew
00:07:25.003 --> 00:07:27.439
The term messianic jew is simply this,
00:07:27.506 --> 00:07:29.040
Is simply this, that we are as anyone else,
00:07:29.107 --> 00:07:31.376
That we are as anyone else, as gen --
00:07:31.443 --> 00:07:32.110
As gen -- any gentile,
00:07:32.177 --> 00:07:33.578
Any gentile, a follower of messiah.

>> in a relationship with the messiah.
00:07:38.717 --> 00:07:39.351
With the messiah. but, we also understand that
00:07:39.417 --> 00:07:40.886
But, we also understand that we've been called as jews,
00:07:40.952 --> 00:07:43.121
We've been called as jews, the children of abraham,
00:07:43.188 --> 00:07:44.122
The children of abraham, isaac, and jacob,
00:07:44.189 --> 00:07:45.323
Isaac, and jacob, to be a distinct identity,
00:07:45.390 --> 00:07:47.325
To be a distinct identity, and in our case
00:07:47.392 --> 00:07:48.193
And in our case as messianic jews,
00:07:48.260 --> 00:07:49.261
As messianic jews, within the body of christ.

My sin and separation from god and i just knew

From god and i just knew that it was true.

And what messianic jews that's different is retain

Various forms, scott. one, that's a big one,
00:12:23.968 --> 00:12:24.936
One, that's a big one, is worshipping on shabbat.
00:12:25.003 --> 00:12:26.905
Is worshipping on shabbat. that's a big one.

Rather than sunday. and i go to sunday

I'm often speaking in churches. >> yeah.

About the shabbat beginning at friday at sun down...

Your family, having a meal, a shabbat meal.
00:12:39.884 --> 00:12:41.386
A shabbat meal. it's the day of rest and we --
00:12:41.452 --> 00:12:44.322
It's the day of rest and we -- i think most jewish believers
00:12:44.389 --> 00:12:46.357
I think most jewish believers retain saturday as
00:12:46.424 --> 00:12:48.126
Retain saturday as the shabbat day.
00:12:48.193 --> 00:12:49.093
The shabbat day. >> and isn't it interesting
00:12:49.160 --> 00:12:50.195
>> and isn't it interesting that christians today would say,
00:12:50.261 --> 00:12:51.830
That christians today would say, "oh, you're being legalistic
00:12:51.896 --> 00:12:53.064
"oh, you're being legalistic if you follow shabbat"?
00:12:53.131 --> 00:12:54.666
If you follow shabbat"? but, actually,
00:12:54.732 --> 00:12:56.167
But, actually, these are things that jesus
00:12:56.234 --> 00:12:58.636
These are things that jesus did and practiced himself.
00:12:58.703 --> 00:13:00.738
Did and practiced himself. and woe to the church who says,
00:13:00.805 --> 00:13:02.841
And woe to the church who says, "oh, you're a jew you've come
00:13:02.907 --> 00:13:04.142
"oh, you're a jew you've come to the lord."
00:13:04.209 --> 00:13:05.243
To the lord." you have got to put
00:13:05.310 --> 00:13:06.611
You have got to put shabbat away which is what
00:13:06.678 --> 00:13:07.912
Shabbat away which is what the early church actually told.
00:13:07.979 --> 00:13:09.848
The early church actually told. >> scott, the law isn't bad.
00:13:09.914 --> 00:13:11.316
>> scott, the law isn't bad. >> no.
00:13:11.382 --> 00:13:12.383

>> the idea that the law is something bad, no,
00:13:13.384 --> 00:13:15.420
Is something bad, no, it's given by god.
00:13:15.486 --> 00:13:16.788
It's given by god. what's bad is when we seek
00:13:16.855 --> 00:13:18.656
What's bad is when we seek to gain something through
00:13:18.723 --> 00:13:20.725
To gain something through the works of the law.
00:13:20.792 --> 00:13:21.960
The works of the law. in other words,
00:13:22.026 --> 00:13:22.694
In other words, paul says it this way,
00:13:22.760 --> 00:13:23.828
Paul says it this way, we're not under the law.
00:13:23.895 --> 00:13:25.396
We're not under the law. >> yeah.
00:13:25.463 --> 00:13:25.997
>> yeah. >> the law's not
00:13:26.064 --> 00:13:26.497
>> the law's not on our shoulders,
00:13:26.564 --> 00:13:27.932
On our shoulders, the law has been
00:13:27.999 --> 00:13:28.800
The law has been placed in our heart.
00:13:28.867 --> 00:13:30.068
Placed in our heart. >> yeah.
00:13:30.134 --> 00:13:30.568

00:13:30.635 --> 00:13:32.003

To celebrate the moedim, the appointed feasts
00:13:38.476 --> 00:13:40.545
The appointed feasts in our own scriptures,
00:13:40.612 --> 00:13:42.213
In our own scriptures, passover for example.
00:13:42.280 --> 00:13:43.348
Passover for example. >> yeah.
00:13:43.414 --> 00:13:44.215

00:13:44.282 --> 00:13:44.582
>> what? there's nothing greater
00:13:44.649 --> 00:13:45.316
There's nothing greater than passover where we learn
00:13:45.383 --> 00:13:46.851
Than passover where we learn about the lamb of god.
00:13:46.918 --> 00:13:48.119

Of the world and the prototype is the lamb that was slain

Is the lamb that was slain so the children of israel
00:13:55.526 --> 00:13:57.095
So the children of israel would be protected from

Cup which was, according to the rabbis,
00:14:28.159 --> 00:14:29.093

The cup of redemption, and it was the redemption
00:14:30.728 --> 00:14:31.930
And it was the redemption out of egypt.

Of redemption, but it's the redemption

A simple tabernacle, which reminds us

Which reminds us of the children of israel
00:14:54.619 --> 00:14:56.421

>> this was a direct fulfillment of the first shavuot,
00:15:26.951 --> 00:15:28.453
Of the first shavuot, where the law was given
00:15:28.519 --> 00:15:29.821
Where the law was given and now the spirit
00:15:29.887 --> 00:15:30.488
And now the spirit is poured out.
00:15:30.555 --> 00:15:31.422
Is poured out. believers should be
00:15:31.489 --> 00:15:32.256
Believers should be understanding these things,
00:15:32.323 --> 00:15:33.524
Understanding these things, following these, but especially

Because this is a big one, what role does the law

The law have in the life of a messianic jew?
00:16:29.680 --> 00:16:30.681
Of a messianic jew? >> well, the law is just --
00:16:30.748 --> 00:16:32.316
>> well, the law is just -- paul tells us is
00:16:32.383 --> 00:16:33.084
Paul tells us is a school teacher for us.
00:16:33.151 --> 00:16:34.952
A school teacher for us. they're commands that
00:16:35.019 --> 00:16:36.387
They're commands that have never disappeared,
00:16:36.454 --> 00:16:38.322
Have never disappeared, but we are under grace.
00:16:38.389 --> 00:16:39.724
But we are under grace. we're under grace,
00:16:39.791 --> 00:16:41.392
We're under grace, we are plugged into
00:16:41.459 --> 00:16:43.594
We are plugged into the messiah, all things
00:16:43.661 --> 00:16:45.163
The messiah, all things are under our feet,
00:16:45.229 --> 00:16:46.197
Are under our feet, i believe that.
00:16:46.264 --> 00:16:47.432
I believe that. but, the law is
00:16:47.498 --> 00:16:48.099
But, the law is still instruction,
00:16:48.166 --> 00:16:50.168
Still instruction, it's guidance for us.
00:16:50.234 --> 00:16:51.502
It's guidance for us. >> yeah.
00:16:51.569 --> 00:16:52.870
>> yeah. >> you know,
00:16:52.937 --> 00:16:53.271
>> you know, it's very clear that,
00:16:53.337 --> 00:16:54.872
It's very clear that, "thou shalt love thy mother
00:16:54.939 --> 00:16:55.540
"thou shalt love thy mother and father and honor them,"
00:16:55.606 --> 00:16:56.641
And father and honor them," is still in effect, right?
00:16:56.707 --> 00:16:57.708
Is still in effect, right? >> a hundred percent.
00:16:57.775 --> 00:16:58.342
>> a hundred percent. >> there's no question that
00:16:58.409 --> 00:16:59.243
>> there's no question that "thou shalt not kill,"
00:16:59.310 --> 00:17:00.311
"thou shalt not kill," is still in effect.
00:17:00.378 --> 00:17:01.179
Is still in effect. >> yeah.
00:17:01.245 --> 00:17:01.579
>> yeah. >> these are laws that we follow
00:17:01.646 --> 00:17:04.315
>> these are laws that we follow empowered by the holy spirit
00:17:04.382 --> 00:17:05.883
Empowered by the holy spirit living within us,
00:17:05.950 --> 00:17:07.318
Living within us, and we're simply not under
00:17:07.385 --> 00:17:09.253
And we're simply not under the weight of the law
00:17:09.320 --> 00:17:10.755
The weight of the law or the punishment of the law.
00:17:10.822 --> 00:17:12.457
Or the punishment of the law. >> yeah.
00:17:12.523 --> 00:17:12.857
>> yeah. >> we've been freed from that,
00:17:12.924 --> 00:17:14.358
>> we've been freed from that, but that doesn't mean
00:17:14.425 --> 00:17:14.959
But that doesn't mean the law is dead.
00:17:15.026 --> 00:17:15.660
The law is dead. in fact, as i said before,
00:17:15.726 --> 00:17:17.562
In fact, as i said before, we're told in
00:17:17.628 --> 00:17:18.463
We're told in the book of jeremiah,
00:17:18.529 --> 00:17:19.630
The book of jeremiah, the law has been written
00:17:19.697 --> 00:17:20.565
The law has been written in our hearts.
00:17:20.631 --> 00:17:21.732
In our hearts. >> amazing.
00:17:21.799 --> 00:17:22.366
>> amazing. i have the sense while
00:17:22.433 --> 00:17:23.734
I have the sense while we're just chatting,
00:17:23.801 --> 00:17:25.169
We're just chatting, and i hope i'm okay
00:17:25.236 --> 00:17:27.205
And i hope i'm okay to do this but i believe
00:17:27.271 --> 00:17:29.006
To do this but i believe that there are jewish people
00:17:29.073 --> 00:17:31.175
That there are jewish people that are actually watching
00:17:31.242 --> 00:17:32.710
That are actually watching and listening today,
00:17:32.777 --> 00:17:34.045
And listening today, who've shielded
00:17:34.112 --> 00:17:35.046
Who've shielded their jewishness because
00:17:35.113 --> 00:17:37.415
Their jewishness because they were raised
00:17:37.482 --> 00:17:38.216
They were raised in a certain way and god
00:17:38.282 --> 00:17:40.118
In a certain way and god is calling you back to your
00:17:40.184 --> 00:17:43.054
Is calling you back to your roots of your jewish faith,
00:17:43.121 --> 00:17:46.924
Roots of your jewish faith, a faith in the jewish messiah.
00:17:46.991 --> 00:17:49.393
A faith in the jewish messiah. and jonathan, i can't think
00:17:49.460 --> 00:17:51.262
And jonathan, i can't think of a better thing,
00:17:51.329 --> 00:17:52.864
Of a better thing, a better outworking
00:17:52.930 --> 00:17:54.031
A better outworking of this show than
00:17:54.098 --> 00:17:55.166
Of this show than jewish people who believe
00:17:55.233 --> 00:17:56.267
Jewish people who believe in jesus who felt like
00:17:56.334 --> 00:17:57.869
In jesus who felt like they needed to deny
00:17:57.935 --> 00:17:59.737
They needed to deny their jewish heritage
00:17:59.804 --> 00:18:01.405
Their jewish heritage in order to be
00:18:01.472 --> 00:18:02.206
In order to be accepted in the church.
00:18:02.273 --> 00:18:03.241
Accepted in the church. it's so staggering to me.
00:18:03.307 --> 00:18:05.076
It's so staggering to me. if you have people,
00:18:05.143 --> 00:18:06.711
If you have people, jewish believers,
00:18:06.777 --> 00:18:08.546
Jewish believers, if you took a survey
00:18:08.613 --> 00:18:09.580
If you took a survey of what they do on
00:18:09.647 --> 00:18:10.982
Of what they do on either a saturday or sunday,
00:18:11.048 --> 00:18:12.617
Either a saturday or sunday, those who believe in jesus
00:18:12.683 --> 00:18:13.618
Those who believe in jesus i would say the majority of them
00:18:13.684 --> 00:18:15.253
I would say the majority of them are in our churches today
00:18:15.319 --> 00:18:17.488
Are in our churches today as opposed to our
00:18:17.555 --> 00:18:18.456
As opposed to our messianic congregations.
00:18:18.523 --> 00:18:19.824
Messianic congregations. what has to change?
00:18:19.891 --> 00:18:20.758
What has to change? should they go back
00:18:20.825 --> 00:18:21.959
Should they go back to messianic congregations?
00:18:22.026 --> 00:18:24.061
To messianic congregations? how do we integrate this
00:18:24.128 --> 00:18:25.863
How do we integrate this messianic judaism thing with
00:18:25.930 --> 00:18:27.398
Messianic judaism thing with christianity and the church?
00:18:27.465 --> 00:18:29.433
Christianity and the church? >> well, i think in the case of
00:18:29.500 --> 00:18:30.501
>> well, i think in the case of intermarried couples that are
00:18:30.568 --> 00:18:31.802
Intermarried couples that are trying to raise their children
00:18:31.869 --> 00:18:34.872
Trying to raise their children with an appreciation or
00:18:34.939 --> 00:18:38.075
With an appreciation or connection to the jewish spouse,
00:18:38.142 --> 00:18:40.645
Connection to the jewish spouse, and connection
00:18:40.711 --> 00:18:41.746
And connection to the christian spouse,
00:18:41.812 --> 00:18:42.914
To the christian spouse, messianic judaism is
00:18:42.980 --> 00:18:44.081
Messianic judaism is the answer because we celebrate
00:18:44.148 --> 00:18:45.550
The answer because we celebrate all the holidays based on
00:18:45.616 --> 00:18:47.685
All the holidays based on the old and new testament,
00:18:47.752 --> 00:18:50.087
The old and new testament, they're all valid,
00:18:50.154 --> 00:18:51.522
They're all valid, they're all important.
00:18:51.589 --> 00:18:52.690
They're all important. and you can raise
00:18:52.757 --> 00:18:53.324
And you can raise your children without
00:18:53.391 --> 00:18:54.458
Your children without this tension of,
00:18:54.525 --> 00:18:55.726
This tension of, am i jewish or christian?
00:18:55.793 --> 00:18:57.562
Am i jewish or christian? you are both.
00:18:57.628 --> 00:18:59.230
You are both. you are both.
00:18:59.297 --> 00:19:00.131
You are both. you're born a jew,
00:19:00.198 --> 00:19:01.532
You're born a jew, it's therefore
00:19:01.599 --> 00:19:03.434
It's therefore part of your heritage,
00:19:03.501 --> 00:19:04.569
Part of your heritage, but you have a christian faith
00:19:04.635 --> 00:19:06.437
But you have a christian faith based on the new covenant
00:19:06.504 --> 00:19:07.772
Based on the new covenant and it all works together,
00:19:07.838 --> 00:19:09.140
And it all works together, it's congruous,
00:19:09.207 --> 00:19:09.941
It's congruous, it's not separate,
00:19:10.007 --> 00:19:10.775
It's not separate, it doesn't have to fight
00:19:10.841 --> 00:19:12.577
It doesn't have to fight against the other.
00:19:12.643 --> 00:19:13.411
Against the other. they are all in harmony.
00:19:13.477 --> 00:19:15.079
They are all in harmony. that's so important.
00:19:15.146 --> 00:19:16.347
That's so important. >> i love it.
00:19:16.414 --> 00:19:16.847
>> i love it. so, the issue of unity
00:19:16.914 --> 00:19:18.082
So, the issue of unity that you're talking about
00:19:18.149 --> 00:19:19.650
That you're talking about is absolutely key.
00:19:19.717 --> 00:19:21.185
Is absolutely key. the bible says there's neither
00:19:21.252 --> 00:19:22.587
The bible says there's neither jew nor greek gentile
00:19:22.653 --> 00:19:25.890
Jew nor greek gentile in the messiah.
00:19:25.957 --> 00:19:26.857
In the messiah. so, when god looks down,
00:19:26.924 --> 00:19:28.793
So, when god looks down, at us i don't believe --
00:19:28.859 --> 00:19:29.994
At us i don't believe -- i could be wrong.
00:19:30.061 --> 00:19:30.962
I could be wrong. i don't believe he sees scott
00:19:31.028 --> 00:19:32.563
I don't believe he sees scott the jew and joe the gentile.
00:19:32.630 --> 00:19:34.298
The jew and joe the gentile. i believe he sees
00:19:34.365 --> 00:19:35.766
I believe he sees his sons and his daughters
00:19:35.833 --> 00:19:38.669
His sons and his daughters working together,
00:19:38.736 --> 00:19:39.537
Working together, but there's a role
00:19:39.604 --> 00:19:40.771
But there's a role that we as jews play.
00:19:40.838 --> 00:19:42.873
That we as jews play. >> that's --
00:19:42.940 --> 00:19:43.441
>> that's -- that's right.
00:19:43.507 --> 00:19:43.908
That's right. >> there's a role
00:19:43.975 --> 00:19:44.709
>> there's a role as the gentiles play
00:19:44.775 --> 00:19:46.310
As the gentiles play where the salvation of israel
00:19:46.377 --> 00:19:47.278
Where the salvation of israel is concerned, and i really
00:19:47.345 --> 00:19:48.579
Is concerned, and i really believe that it's super,
00:19:48.646 --> 00:19:49.880
Believe that it's super, super important for us
00:19:49.947 --> 00:19:50.648
Super important for us to know what role that is
00:19:50.715 --> 00:19:52.383
To know what role that is as jewish believers in jesus
00:19:52.450 --> 00:19:54.385
As jewish believers in jesus and as non-jewish believers
00:19:54.452 --> 00:19:55.286
And as non-jewish believers in jesus.
00:19:55.353 --> 00:19:55.953
In jesus. >> well, yeshua's the unifier.
00:19:56.020 --> 00:19:56.687
>> well, yeshua's the unifier. >> yeah.
00:19:56.754 --> 00:19:57.088
>> yeah. >> jesus is the unifier for us
00:19:57.154 --> 00:19:58.689
>> jesus is the unifier for us 'cause we have a shared faith.
00:19:58.756 --> 00:20:00.725
'cause we have a shared faith. but, you're right,
00:20:00.791 --> 00:20:01.659
But, you're right, jewish people have some
00:20:01.726 --> 00:20:03.861
Jewish people have some specific callings that go back
00:20:03.928 --> 00:20:05.730
Specific callings that go back to the connection to abraham,
00:20:05.796 --> 00:20:07.431
To the connection to abraham, and gentiles have been
00:20:07.498 --> 00:20:09.400
And gentiles have been grafted in to this olive tree
00:20:09.467 --> 00:20:11.736
Grafted in to this olive tree and become spiritual sons
00:20:11.802 --> 00:20:13.404
And become spiritual sons and daughters of abraham.
00:20:13.471 --> 00:20:15.406
And daughters of abraham. and the bible uses this term,
00:20:15.473 --> 00:20:16.707
And the bible uses this term, "one new man"
00:20:16.774 --> 00:20:18.409
"one new man" and says to the gentiles,
00:20:18.476 --> 00:20:20.044
And says to the gentiles, "you were afar off.
00:20:20.111 --> 00:20:20.878
"you were afar off. you were separated from god,
00:20:20.945 --> 00:20:22.046
You were separated from god, but now you've been brought near
00:20:22.113 --> 00:20:24.315
But now you've been brought near and become children of abraham."
00:20:24.382 --> 00:20:26.817
And become children of abraham." spiritual children,
00:20:26.884 --> 00:20:28.252
Spiritual children, jew and gentile,
00:20:28.319 --> 00:20:29.120
Jew and gentile, one in messiah.
00:20:29.186 --> 00:20:31.155
One in messiah. but, i just wanna say, again,
00:20:31.222 --> 00:20:32.490
But, i just wanna say, again, there's a special calling for
00:20:32.556 --> 00:20:33.658
There's a special calling for jewish believers in yeshua,
00:20:33.724 --> 00:20:37.061
Jewish believers in yeshua, and if you're a christian,
00:20:37.128 --> 00:20:37.662
And if you're a christian, if you have a jewish parent,
00:20:37.728 --> 00:20:38.963
