Today, Jews are taught that Yeshua (Jesus) is not the Messiah, and in fact could not have been. It is said that Jews have never believed that the Messiah will suffer and die, or that he will be God—manifest in flesh. It is said that Yeshua never claimed to be the Messiah—or God. It is said that Jews who believe in Yeshua are no longer Jewish. I passionately disagree. On all points. The material in this Workbook was compiled to demonstrate that what the early Jewish disciples believed about Yeshua was (and is) Jewish. It can be substantiated not only on the basis of what the Bible teaches, but on the basis of what our ancient sages taught.
Unfortunately, when these issues are debated in the Jewish community, the Messianic Jewish view is not represented—and what we (or at least I) believe is seriously distorted.
This Workbook represents the beginning of an effort to present, analyze and refute the arguments advanced in two books on the subject, Jews and Jewish Christianity and You Take Jesus: I'll Take God. Whether in person or in print, anti-missionaries try to explain why Jews ought not to believe that Yeshua is the Messiah.
I cannot prove with mathematical precision that he is, but I can demonstrate that what I do believe about him is Jewish.
