As we celebrate Jesus, our Messiah, this Lord’s Day, I pray we gain a deeper understanding of the Jewish roots of our Christian faith. Consider this…

Jesus was not a Christian. If anything, He was a Jew. He Himself made that clear when He said to the Samaritan woman: “You worship what you do not know; we know what we worship, for salvation is of the Jews.” - John 4:22 (NKJV) Even His Hebrew name declares who He is. Yeshua (יֵשׁוּעַ) means “salvation.” Indeed, salvation is of the Jews. He came into the world as a Jew, lived as a Jew, died as a Jew, rose again as a Jew, and will return as the Jewish Messiah. That is why Scripture calls Him: “Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed…” - Revelation 5:5 (NKJV) A Christian is a follower of the Messiah. You cannot be a follower of the Messiah if you are the Messiah. He is the Messiah whom all people are called to follow, regardless of their ethnicity, nationality, or religious background. “Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” - Acts 4:12 (NKJV)

Indeed, salvation comes only through Jesus, the Jewish Messiah, and there is no other means of salvation apart from Him. Believing friends, revel in the truth that Jesus is our Salvation and our Messiah!

Have a blessed Sunday!
