Episode 99: A New Way Of Looking At An Old Story - Why The Jewishness Of Jesus Matters

Hanukkah
Written By Matt Davis
 

Helping Christians make sense of their roots. Helping Jews make sense of Jesus.

Together, we are restoring the Jewishness of the gospel.

Have you ever stopped to think about Jesus as a Jewish rabbi, walking the dusty roads of Galilee, celebrating Passover, and teaching in the synagogues? It’s a side of His story that often gets lost in translation.

In this episode of The Jewish Road, we’re peeling back the layers to reveal Jesus in His original, Jewish world.

Imagine sitting down to a meal with Jesus in Jerusalem, hearing Him explain the Old Testament (Act One) Scriptures in the context they were written.

With the world spinning into chaos, and with Israel at the heart of so much conflict, understanding Jesus as the Jewish Messiah has never been more critical. Not just for the Jewish people, whose Messiah He is, but for everyone who follows Him.

We're talking about what it means to be Jewish today - the whole spectrum from Orthodox to Messianic - and why Jesus, a Jew born in Bethlehem and raised in Nazareth, matters to every one of these groups. This isn’t just about looking back - it's about looking forward, to how understanding the real Jesus can change the future.

This conversation is a call to look at Jesus with fresh eyes. We’re moving past the divisions to find the Jesus who loves His people passionately and fulfilled every prophecy about the Messiah in the Hebrew Bible.

Join us on a trip through the life of the most influential Jew in history, and let’s rediscover together why His Jewishness is not just a footnote - but the heart of the story. This is a chance to see Jesus in a whole new light.

So, grab a cup of coffee and lean in. This is a story about Jesus you haven’t heard before, but it’s been there all along, waiting to be told. And to read a blog we wrote on this topic, click here.

What if you waited your entire life, followed rituals painstakingly, prayed for atonement, but never really knew if you had been forgiven by God? This is the reality for many in the Jewish community during Yom Kippur. In this episode of The Jewish

The human soul seems hardwired to long for atonement—a strong, sometimes desperate, desire for forgiveness and release. This is a sentiment that echoes across cultures and religious practices, revealing a shared yearning to be set right with Go
