3. “Jesus is Jewish”

Some Messianics make very open issue of Yeshua’s incarnational Jewish identity, then transpose it to the present to say that, since Yeshua is Jewish, certainly all believers should submit to His culture, which is that of Old Covenant Judaism. In this they prove that the real issue underneath Messianism is a human view of Yeshua. We have already exposed and answered this fundamental problem, but recap the answer here again:

As a pre-glorified human, Yeshua was most certainly Jewish. However as the pre-existent Eternal One, Yeshua was not “Jewish,” and now as the glorified Son of God born from the dead, Yeshua is no longer Jewish after the flesh. He transcends all adamic races, as does everyone else who is to be glorified with Him in resurrection.

We are already told that in Christ is “neither Jew nor Gentile.” In fact, Christ also transcends gender (neither male nor female), for which cause there is no marriage in glory, as we know it. If then to be in Christ, one is no longer Jewish or Gentile, how much more plain is it that He Himself is also neither Jewish nor Gentile? Christ is as transracial as the Body that He fills.
