Jews for Jesus: The Good News of the Messiah

The message of the Gospel-the good news of God's redemptive love through Jesus the Messiah-is rooted in the covenantal promises made by Yahweh, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Far from being a departure from Jewish faith, the Gospel is its fulfillment. Jesus of Nazareth, born into the Jewish people and raised in their traditions, came not to abolish the Law and the Prophets but to fulfill them (Matthew 5:17). In Him, the hope of Israel finds its realization, and through Him, the blessings promised to Abraham extend to all nations.
This book, "Jews for Jesus: The Good News of the Messiah," invites readers-both Jewish and non-Jewish-to explore the Gospel in light of its Hebraic roots. It is not a call to abandon Jewish identity or heritage, but a summons to recognize Jesus (יָהְשׁוּעַ Yahshua) as the promised Messiah of Israel and the Savior of the world. Each chapter unpacks core aspects of the Gospel message-from the identity of the one true God (יְהוָה Yahweh) and His relational nature, to the incarnation of the Word (דָּבָר Davar, λόγος Logos), the ministry and teachings of Jesus, and the promise of salvation and eternal life.
Grounded in the Hebrew Scriptures and illuminated by the writings of the New Testament, this work seeks to demonstrate that faith in Jesus is not foreign to Jewish faith but its culmination. Jesus embodies the Torah's righteousness, fulfills the Prophets' vision, and inaugurates the Kingdom of God announced throughout the sacred texts of Israel. The themes of covenant, Messiah, sacrifice, Spirit, and Kingdom are traced through Scripture and confirmed in the person and work of Jesus.
Whether you are seeking to understand who Jesus truly is or exploring the connection between Jewish faith and the Gospel message, this book is an invitation. It is a call to discover the Messiah promised by the prophets, the Son sent by the Father, and the Redeemer who brings us into covenant with the God of Israel-Yahweh.
May this journey lead you to the joy of knowing the one true God through His Messiah, Jesus, and to the fullness of life found in His love, grace, and truth.
