But that’s just not the way it works.  What if I told you that one of the foremost Orthodox Jewish scholars of our day believes that Jesus fit perfectly into the religious expectations of First Century Judaism?

In fact when I was a kid, I literally thought that the Promised Land flowed with actual milk and honey. It doesn’t.  What if I told you that one of the foremost Orthodox Jewish scholars of our day believes that Jesus fit perfectly into the religious expectations of First Century Judaism?

Some Bible nerds really struggle with the idea of Good Friday. After all, Jesus said that the sign proving He was who He claimed to be, was that He would spend 3 days and 3 nights in the grave. You can’t get that from a Friday resurrection, no matter how hard you try.  What if I told you that one of the foremost Orthodox Jewish scholars of our day believes that Jesus fit perfectly into the religious expectations of First Century Judaism?

It’s Sunday morning. Jesus’ body is missing. Some crazy supernatural beings are telling you that Jesus is alive. What else would you do but run away and hide?

You’re a Christian living in Rome. Your friends and family are being arrested and thrown to the lions; beheaded; lit as torches for Caesar’s garden parties. You’re on the verge of giving up.

Who is “Lord?” When the New Testament was written, how someone answered this question carried life and death implications. The official position of the Roman Empire was that Caesar was divine. All of Rome declared this reality in a triumphal procession.  What if I told you that one of the foremost Orthodox Jewish scholars of our day believes that Jesus fit perfectly into the religious expectations of First Century Judaism?
