Bible Question: Was Jesus a jew?and did the jews turn on him. |
Bible Answer: Hi in2Jesus, A good question to ask is, why did Jesus come to earth, and why was it necessary? In the old testament, from God's viewpoint, there were only two classes of people. Jews, or Israelites, and Gentiles, all the rest of the nations. That was 100 percent of all people of the earth. When Jesus came to earth he came to create a third class of people. Where was he going to get them since 100 per cent of the people were already viewed of God in two classes? What would be the name of these people? The first clue in scripture is I Cor 10:32...give none offence neither to the 1) Jew 2) the Gentile 3) the church... Since there had to be a new class of people seperated unto God, God would call some from the Jewish nation and some from the Gentile nations to create the third class of people, named "the church." This is also evidenced in Eph 2:11, explaining both physical and spiritual principles "gentiles, in the flesh, uncircumcision." Both spiritually and physically they had no covenant with God, they had no hope, were aliens from Israel (or sons of God), they were without God in this world.. God did something about the rebellious Jews and the "outside the loop" Gentiles, he leveled the playing field and said, "all have sinned (both Jew and Gentile) and come short of the glory (perfection) of God." Now God can have mercy on all people, both Jew and Gentile..Ro 4:8, Why would God not impute (count against mankind their sin?) Ro 5:19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one (man) shall many (of mankind) be made righteous. Jesus was that one obedient man...Phil 2:8.."And (Jesus) being found in fashion as a man, he humbled HIMSELF and became obedient unto (God, up to and including) death, even the death of the cross." So why did the Jews and Gentiles turn on Jesus? They were controlled by satan, in their thoughts, as satan had blinded all mankind for centuries concerning God and his kingdom...II Cor 4:4 the god of this world (system of thought, word and deed) has blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the gospel of Christ, ..should shine into them. Satan always gets people to turn on God and his people, have you noticed? Always in Christ, C.S.M. |
