In his study of the Bible, including the Torah, Jonathan Bernis, a respected Messianic Rabbi found overwhelming evidence that Jesus of Nazareth really was the Jewish Messiah. With warmth and transparency, he will talk about discovering Jesus in history, and how it was that the Jewish Yeshua became the Gentile Jesus. By presenting historic evidence that Jesus is Messiah and refuting common Jewish objections, our guest gives Christians the knowledge and tools needed to share their Lord with their Jewish friends in a loving, effective way.
Is the Old Testament really Messianic? If so, which passages of Scripture point to the Messiah? Dr. Michael Rydelnik, an expert on Jewish history and the Old Testament in particular, joins us with some very important answers to these questions and some guidance on clearing up the confusion.
