If it were up to some people or powers, we Jewish people would have been vanquished. The Hamans and Hitlers and Hamas followers would have had their way and succeeded in our annihilation. But a caring God would not allow that to happen.

However, God's personal love and care is seen most dramatically in Y'shua.  Jewish believers in Yeshua believe that the God of Israel chose his son, the Messiah to come and live as a human being in order to die as an atonement for us. If that is true, then God's intention toward us is not as a disinterested creator. Nor is his interest limited to occasional divine intervention in history. If Yeshua really did come to lay down his life for us, then God is a warmly personal wooer of humanity.

But God demonstrates his own love toward us, in that although humanity could not stop themselves from sinning, the Messiah died for us and was resurrected. For us Jewish believers in Yeshua, the belief that God sent a redeemer for us in Yeshua produces incredible joy and courage.

You might have the need to feel loved by our Jewish God. Certainly wanting God to exist is not enough to make him exist. Either God exists or he doesn't. Yeshua is or is not the Jewish Messiah regardless of what we or you think.

Perhaps you have judged God and found him not worthy of existence. If your parents were Jewish like mine, that would be difficult. Therefore it is reasonable to leave open the possibility that Yeshua is who he claimed to be. Because if there is a God, and if that God is a caring and compassionate God looking for a way to reconcile people to himself, it makes perfect sense that he would send the Messiah to come to us.

We Jewish people must admit that there are many things we do not understand; that our finite minds cannot comprehend it all.

I will tell you a little story. It was Yom Kippur and two Jewish men were davening side by side at the neighborhood shul. One was religious, the other was an atheist. The religious Jewish man turned to the Jewish atheist and curiously asked, "Ben, why are you here?" The atheist replied, "Jack, I could be wrong."

You could be wrong about Yeshua!
