For most of the past 2000 years, a horrible sin has haunted Christian belief. Replacement Theology teaches that Israel and the Church are separate, and that God has moved past Israel to a new era focused on the Church. This is wrong. It’s time to deal with it.  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?

Jesus has just been baptized by John - not as an act of repentance for Himself, but as a metaphor for Israel. The Apostle Paul later connects baptism to Israel’s Red Sea crossing. So, if Israel exited the Red Sea and entered the wilderness, it only makes sense that Jesus does the same thing.   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?

Whenever I read the word “Temple” in the Bible, I think of the physical building that stood in Jerusalem where the Priests and Levites conducted the sacrifices thousands of years ago. But like everything else in history, Jesus redefined the Temple. The religious leaders were confused about it. So, we’re in good company. Let’s try to understand it better.

The Hebrew Scriptures close with a glimpse of a God-Man who conquers all of YHWH’s enemies and is given authority over Heaven and Earth. But how does this happen? How does the Son of Man win this victory?  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?

Jesus calls Himself, “Son of Man” more than seventy times in the Gospels. This is a Hebrew term for “human” or literally, “Son of Adam.” But when Jesus is using it, He’s tapping into a vein of belief that a Divine Man would become the Messiah. And Jesus’ claims ultimately got him crucified.  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?

Every morning for thousands of years, Israel began the ritual slaughter of animals that continued throughout the day. A literal river of blood flowed off of the Temple Mount. Most of us understand that these sacrifices symbolized the death of Jesus. But thank God that we can join Jesus’ declaration of victory when by saying, “It is finished!” 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?

He’s perfect. John the Baptist knows it. Jesus knows it. He’s never sinned. He’s morally pure. He’s ceremonially pure. But here He is, submitting to a Baptism that symbolizes repentance for sin. He doesn’t need it.

Jesus is in the Upper Room with the disciples. He knows He’s leaving there to be betrayed, tried, and crucified. And He wants to offer encouragement to these disciples that something better is coming. He tells them about the Holy Spirit. But He uses a Greek word that means so much, it’s impossible to translate into English. And this is exactly as it should be.  I’ll prove it to you in less than 10 minutes.  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?
