Episode 17: Who Is This Child, Born Of A Virgin?

We help Christians make sense of their roots so they can help the Jewish people make sense of Jesus.

On this episode of The Jewish Road Podcast:

Jesus did NOT begin His existence with His birth out of the womb of Mary.

He is the eternal Son of God. He “became” flesh in the womb of Mary through the supernatural work of the Ruach Hakodesh (Holy Spirit). It was a miracle from the beginning to end!

We want the birth of Jesus to be relevant to our Jewish people as the Messiah intended it to be. 

We want to highlight the incarnation through Jewish eyes and provide an understanding of what this word, incarnation, could mean if you are a Jew reading this.

We want the birth of Jesus to be relevant to our Gentile Christian brothers and sisters as we reclaim the Jewishness of Jesus, especially in His birth. 

We’re not telling you to throw away the tree and get rid of the presents, but to faithfully examine Scripture and your remembrance of the birth of Jesus, and celebrate it for what it truly is, not for what it has become. We’re not going to be any more prescriptive than that, but to ask you to bring deep meaning to the annual celebration. 

Wherever you may find yourself during this season, our hope is that you find yourself getting curious. This means for many of us we will begin to challenge our preconceived notions and traditions, and seriously contemplate what the birth of this baby, the Promised Messiah of Israel, means for us today.
