Bring Jesus Home
Orthodox Rabbis Bring
Jesus Home for ChristmasMore than 25 prominent rabbis from Israel and abroad
recently issued a statement calling for a renewed look at Jesus, Christians and
the New Testament faith. Quoting from their own sages, these outstanding
Orthodox rabbis are not ashamed to exalt the name of Jesus, welcoming the
carpenter from Nazareth back into the Jewish fold.
“Jesus brought a
double goodness to the world,”declare the group of well-known rabbis. “On the
one hand he strengthened the Torah of Moses majestically… and not one of our
Sages spoke out more emphatically concerning the immutability of the Torah,” and
on the other hand “he removed idols from the nations.”
Saying that
Jesus, even more that any other Jewish Sage, honored, strengthened and protected
the “immutability of the Torah,” is an extraordinary acknowledgement. These
leading rabbis are turning the tides of history by removing one of the main
stumbling blocks in the path of a major Jewish reclamation of Jesus!
You
will recall, that religious Jews rejected Jesus from the beginning, with the
accusation that he did not obey the Torah, therefore he could not be the awaited
Messiah. In the New Testament, we find the Pharisees arguing with Jesus over
Sabbath rules, dietary laws, ritual cleanliness, marriage regulations and more.
They insisted that Jesus cannot be the Messiah because “he is teaching
everywhere not to obey Moses.” (Acts 6:14)
What we are now witnessing is
the undoing of 2,000 years of Jewish rejection and animosity towards Jesus, a
miracle by any estimation. For the out-and-out refusal by Jews to accept Jesus
is slowly, but surely, coming to an end, as growing numbers of prestigious
Orthodox rabbis welcome Jesus back.
And there is more. “After nearly two
millennia of mutual hostility and alienation, we Orthodox Rabbis who lead
communities, institutions and seminaries in Israel, the United States and
Europe… seek to do the will of our Father in Heaven by accepting the hand
offered to us by our Christian brothers and sisters,” the statement
reads.
