Where Will The Messiah Be Born?

It's December, and the Jewish people are once again bombarded with confusing messages about Christmas. Instead of trying to make sense of it all, we usually go to the movies and order in Chinese food.

The problem is that many of these messages are not only inaccurate but they also present a false picture of the incarnation and who Jesus really is.

On one hand, when approaching Christmas, the Jewish people can see it as embracing a "cultural Christmas" with the trees, tinsel, and Santa Claus.

On the other hand, the other option the Jewish people see is to embrace the more "Christian Christmas" of Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus in the manger. For the Jewish people, there’s always been an aversion to Jesus. Not that Jesus is bad, “he just isn’t for us.”

The problem for the Jew is that both of these options feel divorced from the "Jewish roots" of a Jewish Messiah being born and fulfilling the words of Jewish prophets hundreds of years earlier.

This series of podcasts is based on our new eBook is an answer to restoring Jewish eyes to the incarnation narrative. You can download it at thejewishroad.com/christmas. There's so much to be said on this topic, however for our purposes we focused on just "5 Questions Every Jew Should Be Asking About Christmas."

These five questions will help us understand what has been hidden from the Jewish people for centuries - that Yeshua (Jesus) was in fact born a Jew as He claimed. This episode is looking at the question, "Where will the Messiah be born?"
