[Must Read] True Religion of Jesus Revealed | See
Jesus was born into a Jewish family who followed Jewish law (Luke 2:27). Jesus' heredity is from the clan of Judah, one of the twelve clans of Israel. He was conceived in the Jewish town of Bethlehem and brought up in Nazareth. Jesus was completely submerged in Jewish culture, nationality, and religion.
Jesus Practiced the religion of first-century Judaism. He was "conceived under the law" (Galatians 4:4) and grew up taking in the Torah and following its statutes. He superbly complied with the Mosaic Law—every one of the edicts, statutes, and blowouts (Hebrews 4:14– 16). He not just complied with the Law; He fulfilled it and concluded its prerequisites (Matthew 5:17– 18; Romans 10:4).
Jesus and His disciples watched the Passover (John 2:13, 23; Luke 22:7– 8) and the Feast of Tabernacles (John 7:2, 10). He kept an anonymous Jewish devour in John 5:1. He went to love benefits and instructed in synagogues (Mark 1:21; 3:1; John 6:59; 18:20). He instructed others to watch the Law regarding Moses and offer penances (Mark 1:44). He advanced regard for the Law as it was being educated by the copyists and Pharisees of His day (Matthew 23:1– 3). He cited the Tanakh frequently (e.g., Mark 12:28– 31; Luke 4:4, 8, 12). In the majority of this, Jesus demonstrated that His religion was Judaism.
As Jesus addressed a gathering of Jews, He issued a strong test to them: "Can any of you prove me guilty of sin?" (John 8:46). On the off chance that Jesus had in any capacity left from the religious observances of Judaism, His foes would have quickly grabbed this chance to denounce Him. As it might have been, Jesus had a talent for hushing His faultfinders (Matthew 22:46).
Jesus had many harsh words for the leaders within His own religion. Remember that Jesus' judgment of the Pharisees, scribes, and Sadducees (Matthew 23) was not a judgment of the Law or of the Judaism of the day. Jesus' condemnations of deceivers, degenerate authorities, and the self-important were in sharp difference to His tribute of the individuals who were passionate before God and experienced their confidence genuinely (see Luke 21:1– 4). Jesus stood up against certain religious pioneers since "they show man-made thoughts as directions from God" (Matthew 15:9, NLT). On two events, Jesus cleared the sanctuary of stealing, voracious heathens (John 2:14– 17; Matthew 21:12– 13). These activities were not intended to annihilate Judaism but rather to clean it.
Jesus was a perceptive Jew who splendidly pursued the Law. His passing finished the Old Covenant God had made with Israel—appeared in the tearing of the sanctuary shroud (Mark 15:38)— and set up the New Covenant (Luke 22:20). The early church was established in Judaism and Jewish messianism, and the soonest adherents to Christ were for the most part Jews. In any case, as the devotees declared the risen Jesus as the Messiah, the unbelieving Jews rejected them, and they were compelled to make a total separation from Judaism (see Acts 13:45– 47).
Jesus was the Messiah that the Jews had been envisioning. He was naturally introduced to the religion of Judaism, satisfied the Jewish religion, and, when His own rejected Him, He gave His life as a forfeit for the wrongdoings of the world. His blood confirmed the New Covenant, and, not long after His passing, Judaism lost its sanctuary, its organization, and its penances.
