If You Are Jewish
4 things we can agree on right now
A religiously-honest Jew and I would both agree on 4 points that:
1. In the Tanakh, the Lord promises he will make a New Covenant with the Jewish people. (1)
2. Proverbs 30:4 assures us we know the Son of God. (2)
3. The Prophet Isaiah tells us whom the arm of the Lord has been revealed. (3)
4. 25 of the 27 books in the New Testament were written by Jews.
Do you think it's important to read the Tanakh yourself and see what other faithful Jews said about Jesus?
I hope you don't take my word for it, but you explore the truth for yourself, because the truth will set you free.

"Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah, not like the covenant that I made with their fathers on the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, my covenant that they broke, though I was their husband, declares the Lord. For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people. And no longer shall each one teach his neighbor and each his brother, saying, 'Know the Lord,' for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, declares the Lord. For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more."
"Who has ascended to heaven and come down? Who has gathered the wind in his fists? Who has wrapped up the waters in a garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is his name, and what is his son's name? Surely you know!"
This section of Prophet Isaiah describes one who bears the griefs and sorrows of many, wounded for transgressions, by whose wounds we are healed. Please read this for yourself from your own scripture.
