Jesus is clearly not an “either/or” person. He’s not saying he wants people to get on board with his message and discard anything and everything from Israel’s past that contributes to the coming of Jesus and our understanding of his significance. Jesus a “both/and” person and he wants his followers to appreciate his own and then by extension their own connection to the salvation history that takes Jesus as the fulfillment and completion of God’s promise to save and heal Israel.
