I was at work this week and a lady picked up a bag of kosher snacks and asked me about them. I explained Jews have a different dietary law than most people. She responded, "Oh, well, I'm not Jewish, I'm southern Baptist".
Something is wrong here. Wasn't Jesus Jewish. Is it not recorded that Jesus attended the Jewish celebrations? Maybe if we really want to understand more of who Jesus is, we need to understand the Jewishness of Jesus. What it means to follow the Law and the sacred rituals. What it meant for the Jews to be God's chosen people. and what the expectations, in the hearts of the 1st century Jews and in the Scriptures was.
we can't hide behind, "I'm different, i dont get it" anymore.
