Would you be surprised to hear a prominent Jewish leader make the following statement?
"Most portrayers of the life of Jesus neglect to point out that Jesus is in every characteristic
a genuinely Jewish character, that a man like him could have grown only in the soil of Judaism,
only there and nowhere else. Jesus is a genuine Jewish personality, all his struggles
and works, his bearing and feeling, his speech and silence, bear the stamp of a Jewish style,
the mark of Jewish idealism, of the best that was and is in Judaism, but which then existed
only in Judaism.
He was a Jew among Jews; from no other people could a man like him have come forth, and in no other
people could a man like him work; in no other people could he have found the apostles who believed in him."
- Rabbi Leo Baeck.
Jews for Jesus missionaries are the heartbeat of our ministry. They are the people who minister face to face with Jewish seekers. Though we have no "job description," our missionaries do whatever it takes to make the Messiahship of Jesus an unavoidable issue to our Jewish people worldwide.
