Sharing the Gospel with Jewish Friends
Deep Dive into Biblical Missions: Principles, Priorities, and Practices by Mark Tatlock and Christ Burnett - Sharing the Gospel with Jewish Friends
Based on the provided text, the biblical mandate to make disciples of all nations includes the 15.3 million unreached Jewish people, as God has not rejected His people. However, effective evangelism is often hindered by Christian ignorance regarding Judaism and the historical barrier of persecution—such as the Crusades and the Holocaust—that Jewish people associate with Christianity. To overcome these hurdles, Marty Wolf emphasizes the need to understand the differences between Orthodox, Reform, and Conservative Judaism, while correcting misconceptions such as the belief that all Jewish people are wealthy or knowledgeable about the Old Testament.
Wolf suggests practical approaches involving sincere friendship, hospitality that respects dietary restrictions like avoiding pork, and sensitivity in language, such as using "Messiah Jesus" to avoid historical stigma. He recommends engaging Jewish friends with questions about their faith and sharing Old Testament prophecies, particularly Isaiah 53, to demonstrate Jesus's identity as the Messiah.
David Zadok reinforces this by highlighting God's faithfulness through three modern restorations: the revival of the Hebrew language, the return to the land of Israel in 1948, and the regathering of the population. These events have unified the people and facilitated the spread of the gospel, resulting in a dramatic increase of Jewish believers in Israel from 23 in 1948 to approximately 30,000 today. Ultimately, the authors call for the church to renew its commitment to Jewish evangelism, affirming that the gospel is "to the Jew first" and that God's calling remains irrevocable.
