Jewish Evangelism
The modern Messianic movement got started as an outreach of Jewish Believers, to see the Jewish people come to saving faith in Israel’s Messiah. To be sure, there are other things which have taken place since, such as non-Jewish Believers entering in and more tangibly embracing their Jewish Roots. There are theological and spiritual issues, which the original leaders could not have anticipated being discussed. We pray that God raises up the right people to perform the diversity of tasks before us. The original mission of seeing Jewish people come to faith in Israel’s Messiah still has not gone away. And, if you are a part of today’s Messianic movement, you have to ask yourself, “What contribution am I making to Jewish evangelism?”

Is it indeed true that Yeshua (Jesus) of Nazareth, says that He alone is the only means to the Father? What about all of the people on Earth, especially Jewish people, who died and never acknowledged Him?
John McKee discusses some of the difficulties many today’s Messianic people face, in confronting various matters of modernity and post-modernity.
