WHY DON'T MANY JEWISH PEOPLE ACCEPT JESUS AS MESSIAH? It can be bewildering considering that Yeshua the Messiah was an Israeli-born Jew, grew up in a Jewish community, practiced Jewish laws and customs, worshiped God at the Jewish Temple, his original followers were Jewish, and that all of his teaching was based upon and rooted in the Jewish Scripture that so many Jewish people find him incompatible with Judaism… but actually the good news is that there have always been Jews who believe in Jesus. In fact, at first, it was only Jews who believed in him, and today there hundreds of thousands of Messianic Jews, even though they are still in minority compared to non-Jewish followers of Jesus. If you read Acts 15, for example, you will see that back then a different question was asked: “Is it possible for a Gentile to follow the Messiah of Israel?” So why do we often hear today that “Jews don’t believe in Jesus”?
