The Jesus from Jewish perspective

John 1:17 New King James Version (NKJV)
17 For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

The Greek Philosophy and Hebrew Philosophy

The Greek philosophy is to teach and to reason and see and believe in God.

The Hebrew philosophy is to believe in God without seeing and without reasoning and believing in faith.

The Law came through Moses. Torah was the written law of God. The major repositories of the Torah are the Written Laws of God. The Torah has been classified into two major sections. The Written Law of God i.e. the Pentateuch and the Oral Law of God found in the books known as the Mishnah in the “Tanakh”.

How many laws of God are there?
There are 613 Laws of God. The Talmud notes that the Hebrew numerical value (gematria) of the word "Torah" is 611, and combining Moses's 611 commandments with the first two of the Ten Commandments which were the only ones heard directly from God, adds up to 613.

Matthew 22:36-40 New International Version (NIV)
36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”
37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’[a] 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[b] 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
John 13:34-35 New International Version (NIV)
34 “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. 35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”

The Law brought condemnation. Law kills but Spirit brings life. The ministry of Law had glory. 2 Cor 3:9

The Truth was revealed to mankind through Jesus Christ. Jesus Himself says “I am the way, the truth and the life” John 14:5

How grace and truth was revealed to the mankind?

Grace - Isaiah (35:5-7)
The Jews believed in a Messiah who would come and He would demonstrate 3 unique signs which no one would ever do.

Sometime prior to the birth of Jesus, the ancient rabbis separated miracles into two categories. First were those miracles anyone would be able to perform if they were empowered by the Holy Spirit to do so. The second category of miracles was called messianic miracles, which were miracles only the Messiah would be able to perform. These messianic miracles were taken from Isaiah 35:5-6 because the rabbis understood them to be clearly messianic. 

Christ did miracles in both categories: general miracles but also messianic miracles. Because of rabbinic teaching that certain miracles would be reserved only for the Messiah to do, whenever He performed a messianic miracle it created a different type of reaction than when He performed other types of miracles. 

Here we will understand the reaction and results of the three messianic miracles.

1. Jewish leper being healed (Luke 5)
Grace (Jesus) helps us in our impossibilities
The Jewish leper was never healed after the completion of Torah. Miriam was before the Law and Naaman was a gentile. There was never a case of a Jewish leper being healed from the time the Laws were completed. Yet Leviticus 13 & 14 gives clear instructions of the ceremony of the Leper who was healed.

* Offer 2 birds as offering

* 7 days of examination

* Was he/she really a leper? & Were they really cured of leprosy?

* If gone, what were the circumstances of healing?

* 8th day series of offering after confirmation

* 4 offerings – Sin Offering; guilt offering; burnt offering; grain offering

* Applying of the blood of sin offering and guilt offering & anointing of oil.

Since this custom never took place it was very strange. Matthew and Mark merely state a leper. But Luke gives us a detail of it because he was a doctor by profession. Jesus Heals the leper and send him to the priest to help them discover who Jesus was. (Mark 1:42) All the Leaders came to listen to Jesus. Luke 5:17 (Galilee, Judea and Jerusalem)
The casting or exorcism of a mute demonic spirit (Matthew 12:22-37; Mark 3:19-30)
Grace helps us in our oppressions and infirmities
Mark reminds us: When His family heard about this, they went to take charge of Him, for they said, He is out of His mind (Mark 3:21) Casting out demons was not an unusual thing for the Jews back then. But it had 3 Pharisaic Judaism rituals that they had to follow to cast out demons.
Establish a Communication
Find the name of the demon
He should speak that name and cast out into some place specific
All the people were astonished and said: Could this be the Son of David? They would ask each other, “Is this the Messiah?” After all, He was doing the very thing that the prophet said the Messiah would do. They never asked this question when Jesus cast out other types of demons. However, when He threw out a mute demon, they did raise the question, because they recognized from the teachings of the rabbis that it was a messianic miracle.
Healing the man born blind (John 9:1-38)
Grace helps us to see the light from darkness of sin
The rabbis taught that anyone empowered by God could heal someone who simply had gone blind. But when the Messiah came, they said He would be able to heal someone born blind.
The question of the disciples appears to be very strange: Who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind? Who committed such a terrible sin that this man was born blind? The strangeness in the question is not if this man’s parents sinned and as a result, he was born blind. There is a principle in the Torah that God punishes the children and their children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation (Exodus 34:6-7). To the disciples, it was conceivable that the parents had committed a specific sin and God visited that sin upon their son; therefore, the son was born blind. But that was not the strange part of the question. They also asked: Or was it this man that sinned and then he was born blind? In light of the fact that Judaism did not believe in reincarnation, how could he have first sinned and then be born blind?
It is very significant that of all the places Jesus could have sent the man to wash his eyes, He sent him to the Pool of Siloam. This pool was not easy to get to from the main part of Jerusalem, because he had to walk down a sloping hill. This was during the time of the Feast of Tabernacles. During the feast, there was a special ritual called the pouring of the water. In this ritual, the priests came down from the Temple Mount, down to the Pool of Siloam, filled jugs with the water of the Pool of Siloam, marched back up the Temple Mount, and poured the water out into the bronze basin within the Temple compound The Bronze Basin in the Tabernacle: Christ, Our Cleanser). This was followed by great rejoicing. During the Feast of Tabernacles, the Pool of Siloam was the center of Jewish attention and had the greatest number of people present who would observe this third messianic miracle.
The Truth - Jesus and His mysterious return
The Tallit – Prayer Shawl
Strings tied in pattern is tzitzit based on Number 15   (Numbers 15:38–41)
Before putting on the prayer shawl, it is customary to say the following blessing
Baruch atah Adonai Eloheinu melech ha olam Asher kidishanu b’mitzvotav   Vitzivanu l’hitatef b’tzitzit.
Blessed are you Lord our God
Ruler of the Universe
Who has sanctified us with your mitzvot
And commanded us to wrap ourselves in tzitzit.
Before putting on the prayer shawl, it is customary to say the following blessing
“Just then a woman who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak.  She said to herself, ‘If I only touch his cloak, I will be healed.’”  (Matthew 9:20–21)
The Woman knew the truth of who the Messiah was and she touched the hem of his garments and she was healed. Touching the Tallit was also the by faith because she was ale to foresee the power or virtue flowing.
In the gospel of John 20 we see that Jesus is buried in the tomb and the nest day morning the tomb is empty. The scripture says that Peter went to the tomb and saw the Lenin wrapped and there was also a towel. V7 7 as well as the cloth that had been wrapped around Jesus’ head. The cloth was still lying in its place, separate from the linen.
The Talit was supposed to be worn by the men mostly and sometimes by Jewish women during prayers. Each time the man of the house went for a far away journey then, the head of the house would have to fold the Tallit and keep it folded in the top most place for all to see. No one knew when the master of the house would come back. But they had be prepared to welcome the master back again. "But of that day or that hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father" (Mark 13:32).This was a sign that the head of the house is gone to a far away place but he will return back soon to gather with his family.
When Jesus folded the shawl and kept it, he was telling that he has left this earthly place and gone, but He will surely return. Jesus will return soon to gather His people.
This is the truth of the gospel of John about the empty tomb. No one has recorded of this mystery. The second coming of Jesus was not an idea that came into the minds and the apostles or St Paul. It was not a sci-fi concept drawn out by His disciples but a very meaningful Jewish and Biblical based documented proof of His return.
The Bible recorded this portion on the latter as the very essential of Christian faith and practice.
1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
Acts 1:10-11
Hebrews 9:28
Matthew 24:42-44
John 5:28-29
Titus 2:11-13
James 5:7
Grace and Truth came to us through Jesus. Grace and Truth was Jesus and He will return and come back again. Are we living in His grace and are we living in the Truth of the knowledge that Jesus will come back again?
