Episode 019: The Return Of The King And Why The Jews Missed Jesus

In Episode 19 of 'The One New Man', hosts Chris and John dive into the complex topic of why many Jews did not recognize Jesus as the Messiah. The discussion focuses on critiquing Israel's religious leadership's failures, the partial hardening of Israel to allow the gospel to reach the Gentiles, and the misconceptions about the nature of the Messiah. They also reflect on the difference between expectations of a conquering King and the reality of Jesus' first coming as a suffering servant. The analysis draws from various scriptural references and Jewish traditions to elaborate on these points, emphasizing the foretold dual aspects of the Messiah: one who suffers and one who reigns. The episode also explores the prophetic depiction of Jesus’ second coming and what it means for both Jews and Gentiles.Comments? Questions? Encouragement? We are here for it.
