Are All Jewish People Messianic? by Rico Cortes

Last week I answered a question “What is Messianic Judaism?” I received many replies that I addressed it in a recent video. I did a followup video discussing the different labels people use about their spiritual faith. It is a confusing topic. Today on the show, Torah teacher Rico Cortes, answers the original question, “What is Messianic Judaism?”

What is Messianic Judaism?

Today I answer a question two people asked me this week, what is messianic Judaism?

Messianic Judaism is a movement of Jewish people who believe that Yeshua (Jesus’ original name in Hebrew) is the Messiah of Israel and the Savior of the world. Yeshua is the most Jewish of Jews. Yeshua was a descendant of both Abraham and King David, was raised in a Jewish home and went to synagogue. He perfectly kept the entire Torah (see Galatians 4:4). He taught that He came to fulfill, not set aside, the Torah (see Matthew 5:17-19). He was a rabbi who performed unparalleled miracles, bringing great blessing to the nation of Israel. All His early disciples also lived very Jewish lives. The Messianic movement was entirely Jewish at its inception, and continued to exist as an authentic Jewish movement for 700 years after Yeshua’s death and resurrection.
