Atonement – New Covenant Forum - Encouraging Conversation About Jesus the Jewish Messiah

The art world of Marc Chagall is unique. Just as most people would immediately recognize the paintings of Norman Rockwell, the paintings of Marc Chagall are also distinct and recognizable once you acquaint yourself with them. His many works abound in Jewish symbolism, Biblical stories, and his beloved childhood town of Vitebsk in Belarus. Chagall painted fanciful visions depicting floating, dream-like images as well as sinuous figures of people and animals that are most times out of proportion in size. A goat or a fish may appear much larger than a man. His inexhaustible palette of vibrant and rich colours are his trademark and his distinct and whimsical images have set him apart as one of the world’s greatest Jewish artists.

Marc Chagall was born in 1887, eldest of nine children into the home of a poor Hasidic family. Chagall told his mother that he wanted to be a painter but she could never comprehend why he would set his heart on such an impractical vocation. Nonetheless, in 1906 at age sixteen, Chagall began to study at the art school of Yehuda Pen in his hometown. A year later he left for St. Petersburg to further his studies under various known artists, eventually going to Paris in 1910. He returned to Vitebsk in 1914 to marry his fiancé, Bella Rosenfed. World War I broke out while he was home and Chagall became a participant in the Russian Revolution of 1917.

Bella and Marc moved to Paris in 1923 where he later became a French citizen. The Nazi occupation of France during World War II led Chagall and his wife to flee Paris. American journalist, Varian Fry assisted their escape from France through Spain and Portugal and in 1941 they settled in the United States. Unfortunately, his beloved Bella died in 1944. Chagall returned to Paris where he began to work in ceramics, sculptures and stained glass windows. The synagogue of the Hebrew University Hadassah Medical Centre in Jerusalem boasts one of Chagall’s greatest achievements, twelve stained-glass windows each depicting one of the tribes of Jacob.

Perhaps the most remarkable painting Chagall ever painted was in 1938 entitled ‘White Crucifixion’, the first of his many paintings of the crucifixion. For 1900 years no well-known Jewish artist dared to paint the figure of Jesus on the cross and yet Chagall did; he painted Jesus as a suffering Jewish Saviour. Amid much symbolism of Jewish persecution, the painting portrays Jesus nailed to the cross with a lighted menorah at his feet. His loins are covered with a Jewish prayer shawl and over his head written in Hebrew, ‘Jesus of Nazareth King of the Jews’.

Chagall painted yet another picture that has been declared by some to be the most unusual self-portrait in the history of art, ‘Self-Portrait with a Clock’. Chagall has painted himself standing with brushes and palette in front of a picture of the crucifixion which he has just painted. His demeanor in the picture is melancholy as he contemplates the cross while his head is bowed over a sad-eyed donkey. A clock rests above Chagall’s head and interestingly, the time is set at three o’clock and above the head of Jesus is a rooster. Why a rooster? One can only speculate but perhaps there is an answer to the question. A custom that has been observed for centuries by Eastern European Jews is called kapparah from the Hebrew root ‘to cover.’ It is a traditional right that is supposed to be atoning as a substitute for the temple sacrifice. The male of the household takes a rooster on Yom Kippur and swinging it over his head three times will declare: ‘This is my substitute, my atonement, it shall meet death but I shall find long life’ and then the rooster is slaughtered.

Was Chagall bowing to his kapparah? We will never know but this we do know, Marc Chagall painted a Jewish Jesus for the world to see, and he painted him as a suffering Savior. Chagall died in 1985 at the age of 97 leaving behind his legacy and art works worldwide. Today a museum sits at 29 Pokrovskaia Street in his home town of Vitebsk, a tribute to ‘the genius artist of Viebsk.’

Nothing but the blood of Yeshua!

April 13th, 2010

There is a song of Christian praise that goes,
“What can wash away my sin?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus!”

The song’s message is very clear: if we want to make atonement for our transgressions against God – for our sins – then we must do it through the atoning blood of Jesus the Messiah. This is not a strange concept. It is a concept that comes right out of the pages of the Tanakh.

In Vayeekra (Leviticus) we see God instructing Moses about the sacrificial system for the temple. The first 10 of the books 27 chapters is taken up with these instructions and their institution among the Israelites. Later, in Chapter 17, God talk about the importance of people bringing their sacrifice to the temple and insisting that they do not eat the blood of it. Then he explains why the eating of blood is prohibited:

“For the life of a creature is in the blood, and I have given it to you to make atonement for yourselves on the altar; it is the blood that makes atonement for one’s life. (Leviticus 17:11)”

God is very explicit here – the means of atonement is through the covering of the blood. The Hebrew word for atonement comes from the Hebrew word for “cover”. It is from this same root that we have the term Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement), Kippah (the skullcap that is worn by Jewish men) and Koporeth (the ‘mercy seat’ which covered the Ark of the Covenant). God tells us in Leviticus that it is the blood of the sacrifice that makes atonement.

The question is, how? We need to go back to earlier chapters (Leviticus 4:27-31) to see how the guilt offering was to be presented:
“If anyone of the common people sins unintentionally in doing any one of the things that by the LORD’s commandments ought not to be done, and realizes his guilt, or the sin which he has committed is made known to him, he shall bring for his offering a goat, a female without blemish, for his sin which he has committed. And he shall lay his hand on the head of the sin offering and kill the sin offering in the place of burnt offering. And the priest shall take some of its blood with his finger and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering and pour out all the rest of its blood at the base of the altar. And all its fat he shall remove, as the fat is removed from the peace offerings, and the priest shall burn it on the altar for a pleasing aroma to the LORD. And the priest shall make atonement for him, and he shall be forgiven.

Let us look at this sacrifice step by step:
1. The Israelite first had to recognize his guilt.
2. He then was required to bring an unblemished lamb or goat to the Temple. God made it very clear that there was no other place in which the sacrifices were permitted.
3. He then had to lay his hands on the head of it. In this way he symbolically identifies the animal as the bearer of his own sin, so that it is the animal who dies as opposed to the sinner who deserves death because of his transgressions against God.
4. Then the sinner, not the priest, slaughtered the animal.
5. It was only then that the priest interceded – preparing the lamb for sacrifice.
6. The blood of the sacrifice is then poured out at the alter, as a ‘kapor’ a covering of sin.
7. Finally the fat is removed and burnt on the offering to make peace.
8. In this way is atonement made.

This was how atonement was to be made according to the Word of God given to the Israelites on Mount Sinai. Nowhere does he make atonement available in any other way but by the substitutionary sacrifice at the temple and the pouring our of blood as a covering for sin.

In Jeremiah 31:31-34 we read these words:
“Behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah, not like the covenant that I made with their fathers on the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, my covenant that they broke, though I was their husband, declares the LORD. But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the LORD: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people. And no longer shall each one teach his neighbor and each his brother, saying, ‘Know the LORD,’ for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, declares the LORD. For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.”

So God was to bring a covenant that was not going to be like the covenant at Mount Sinai. It will be a new covenant.

Yeshua, on the night before he went to the cross, while celebrating the Passover Seder, took matzah after the dinner (the afikomen?) and proclaimed that it represented his body that was broken for his disciples (Luke 22:19). He also took the cup of redemption after dinner and referring to the Jeremiah passage above said of it, “this cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood.”

Yeshua pointed to himself as the fulfillment of the covenant promised by God through Jeremiah. And he was broken on the cross and his blood became the ‘kapor’ for our sins. It is now through Messiah Yeshua that we can have atonement. How? The same way the Israelite did in the covenant with Moses.

1. A person first has to recognize his guilt.
2. But then God has done the work. He became the living sacrifice in the person of the sinless Messiah – God’s self-sacrifice – through which atonement could be made. God has given no other provision.
3. On Messiah Yeshua were the sins of the world laid, just as is promised in Isaiah 53:4, 5 and 12.
4. It is we who were responsible for the death of the sacrifice, because it was for our sins that he died.
5. He became the priest that makes intercession for us, and so has been fulfilled the promise in Zechariah 6:13 in which the priesthood and the Davidic kingship become combined.
6. It is therefore his blood that makes a covering for our sin.
7. All this, however, is only effective when we accept this free gift of atonement made by God on our behalf. Just as the Israelite trusted in the provision of the sacrifice – the means by which God provided atonement – so we must accpet the provision of atonement that is provided through the crucified Messiah of Israel, Yeshua.
8. In this way is atonement made.

God has given no other provision by which salvation can be had, but by the blood of Yeshua. No other way is biblically authorized. The reason the temple was destroyed in 70 C.E. is that the temple was no longer needed. The New Covenant brought the final and lasting sacrifice that brings atonement from sin and brings eternal life with God. As God is unchanging, so his principles are unchangeing, including the princple of substitutionary sacrifice and the covering of blood to make atonement. Only the vehicle is different. Instead of the yearly sacrifice of bulls and rams, we have the once and for all sacrifice of Messiah.

Will you accept the Messiah today? It is a matter of life and death. If you do, please contact us and let us know about it.

How can God have a son?

April 8th, 2010

How can God have a son? I mostly get this objection about Yeshua HaMashiach (Jesus Christ) from Muslims, but not a few Jews have asked me the same thing. The idea of Jesus being the Son of God seems distasteful, and that is because the title is misunderstood.

The first point to make is that the term Son of God is indeed a title. God himself has many names in the Tanakh (the Hebrew Scriptures): El (אל), Elohim (אלהים), El-Shaddai (אל שדי), Adonai (אדני), and finally the Tetragrammaton – the four letters that represent the name by which God proclaimed himself to Moses (יהוה). Then there are the many titles of God: Adonai Tzva’ot (Lord of Hosts), Adonai Yireh (God who provides), Adonai Nissi (God my shield), along with many, many others that are used in the Tanakh.

The Messiah too, has many titles in the Tanakh. Job calls him his Redeemer (Job 19:25). He is Immanuel (Isaiah 7:14, literally ‘God with us’). He is the Branch (Isaiah 11:1, Jeremiah 23:5; 33:15; Zechariah 3:8; 6:12). His most famous title is found in Isaiah 9:6 in which he is called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6). A few hundred years before Jesus ministered on earth, the prophet Malachi called him the “messenger of the covenant (Malachi 3:1).” Even if you don’t believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the point is that these are recognized as messianic titles even in rabbinic literature.

Now it is true that the title, Son of God is not mentioned in the Tanakh, though we see a hint of it in Psalm 2. Yet the fact that the phrase “Son of God” in reference to Messiah is not mentioned in Tanakh does not mean that the title isn’t correct, for it is clear that God reveals both his names and the names of Messiah over a period of time.

God did not present himself as יהוה (YHWH) until he gave the Law on Mount Sinai. So we read these verses in Exodus 6:3, “I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob as God Almighty, [el-shaddai] but by my name the LORD I did not make myself known to them.” Similarly, we are not told of the title of Prince of Peace until the time of Jeremiah the prophet in the 6th Century B.C.E. (Isaiah 9:6). Furthermore, the concept of Messiah as the Son of God was already found in the Jewish writings known as the Apocrypha and the Deuterocanonical books (e.g. (Enoch 55:2; 2 Esdras 7:28-29; 13:32). These were written in the centuries before and after Jesus, and indicate a Jewish understanding of Messiah’s ‘Sonship’. Finally, the title Son of God is fully revealed and confirmed to us at the time Messiah Yeshua came to minister on earth.

Son of God reminds us both of Messiah’s (Christ’s) divinity and his humanity. He is not a son in the same sense that I have a son, as many Muslims would object. Nor, as many Jewish people would insist is he man claimed to be God. Yeshua is God come as Man, born of a virgin by the miraculous work of the Holy Spirit (as one Yiddish writer puts in the mouth of his young protagonist, “If God can do anything, why can’t he make a virgin pregnant?”) to be the reconciler of sinful humans to a holy and righteous God.

Yeshua, in his humanity, had to deal with the same temptations of life as we, but he would not give in to those temptations. That is why, in a letter to the Jewish believers in Jerusalem, the author can write, “we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. (Hebrews 4:15)”

God come as man to be a sacrifice – a self-sacrifice – for our sins. As Isaiah 53:10 foretold, he became an asham (a guilt offering) and so made atonement for those who believe and accept the sacrifice God made on their behalf.

Won’t you honestly consider the claims of this Jewish messiah for yourself? Won’t you consider the free gift of salvation that brings eternal life with God, by putting your faith in the Messiah promised and sent by God the Father: Yeshua, the Son of God?

Is Yeshua the Messiah?

August 3rd, 2009

Given that our entire faith rests in the person of Yeshua (Jesus), that He was indeed the long-awaited Messiah of Israel and the Saviour of the world, it is critical that evidence be found for this claim in the Scriptures.

Following His death and resurrection, the New Covenant Scriptures (New Testament) record the following conversation that Yeshua had with His disciples.

“These are the words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things must be fulfilled which were written in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms concerning Me.”

And He opened their understanding, that they might comprehend the Scriptures. Then He said to them, “Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ [Messiah] to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day, and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. And you are witnesses of these things. Behold I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high.” (Luke 24:44-49 New King James Version [NKJV]).

Luke, one the twelve disciples of Yeshua, records Yeshua’s assertion that the Jewish Scriptures (i.e. Law of Moses, Prophets, Psalms) repeatedly spoke of the coming of Messiah in terms of His life, death, and resurrection. Not only do the Jewish Scriptures speak of this suffering Messiah, Yeshua further declared that “repentance and remission of sins” came through Him, and that this message was to be proclaimed throughout the entire world, beginning in Jerusalem.

Luke’s assertion that Yeshua “opened their understanding, that they might comprehend the Scriptures” is further indication of the disciple’s firm belief that Yeshua was the very Son of God, the Lamb of God who came to take away the sin of the world.

Another of Yeshua’s disciples, John, also recorded the life and ministry of the Messiah. He makes explicit statements regarding the person and character of Yeshua as he describes the ministry of John the Baptist, who came preaching a message of repentance, warning Israel to prepare for the coming of her Messiah.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. This man came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all through him might believe. He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. That was the true Light which gives light to every man who comes into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him. He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him. But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. John bore witness of Him and cried out, saying, “This was He of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me is preferred before me, for He was before me.’” And of His fullness we have all received, and grace for grace. For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him. (John 1:1-18 NKJV).

There can be no doubt that John believed Yeshua was the Messiah, a belief which included his conviction that Yeshua was the incarnate God Himself. His commitment to Yeshua’s deity concurs with the prophet Isaiah who had prophesied the coming of Messiah some 700 years earlier.

For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end, upon the throne of David and over His kingdom, to order it and establish it with judgment and justice from that time forward, even forever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this. (Isaiah 9:6-7 NKJV).

Early in Yeshua’s ministry, as recorded by John, we see evidence that others recognized the messianic credentials of Yeshua. Here’s how John records it:

…Jesus wanted to go to Galilee, and He found Philip and said to him, “Follow Me.” Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. Philip found Nathanael and said to him, “We have found Him of whom Moses in the law, and also the prophets wrote – Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph. And Nathanael said to him, “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.”

Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward Him, and said of him, “Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!” Nathanael said to Him, “How do You know me?” Jesus answered and said to him, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.” Nathanael answered and said to Him, “Rabbi, You are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!”

Jesus answered and said to him, “Because I said to you, ‘I saw you under the fig tree,’ do you believe? You will see greater things than these.” And He said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, hereafter you shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man.” [John 1:43-51 NKJV]

Numerous citations from the New Covenant Scriptures demonstrate both Yeshua’s claim and the disciples’ belief that he was indeed Israel’s long-awaited Messiah.

We welcome your comments and questions about our belief that Yeshua (Jesus) is Israel’s long-awaited Messiah, the Lamb of God who came to take away the sin of all who repent and trust in Him as Lord and Savior.

Targeting Jews?

May 5th, 2009

As I stepped out of my car one morning, upon arriving at work, I heard a voice calling to me. I turned to see a young Jewish man (a Lubavitcher as I learned later) approaching me.

“What kind of a place is this? It looks like a synagogue, but any knowledgeable Jew would know that a synagogue would not have the words “New Covenant” in their name, unless they attended a synagogue like _______ (he named a large reform synagogue). But then, those are probably the Jews you are targeting.”

“Oh, targeting Jews,” I responded. “Well, if you know anything at all about evangelical Christians, you will know that we ‘target’ the whole world. We are interested in talking about Jesus with anyone who is open to speaking with us.” I then went on to explain that many evangelical ministries focus on specific people groups, and that the ministry I represented was committed to sharing the gospel with anyone, giving a particular focus to the Jewish community.

We often face objections from both Jews and non-Jews about our desire to explain the gospel to Jewish people. But we are convinced that Christians have a responsibility to share their faith with everyone, including the Jewish community.

The New Testament Scriptures are clear, all people should hear the gospel. It was Jesus himself who commissioned his followers to “go and make disciples of all nations” [Matthew 28:19 NIV*] The Apostle Paul (the former Rabbi Shaul before coming to believe in Jesus as Messiah and Savior) wrote:

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek (gentile).” [Romans 1:16 NIV]

There was no question in Paul’s mind but that the gospel message – salvation, the forgiveness of sins – is a message that must be shared with all, beginning with the Jewish community. How tragic it would be if we failed to share the message of Messiah Jesus with those who have been “entrusted with the very words of God” [Romans 3:2 NIV].

While we ”target” Jews no more than any other people group – we speak with far more Gentiles than Jews – we make no apology for seeking to “Encourage Conversation about Jesus” with the Jewish people we meet.

Without reservation we believe Jesus is our only hope of salvation. It was the Apostle Peter (a Jewish believer in Jesus) who declared to the Jewish religious leaders of his day:

“Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved” [Acts 4:12 NIV].

As long as God gives us the ability, we will share this wonderful news of salvation in Yeshua (Jesus) with everyone who is willing to listen, including Jewish people.

We’d love to talk about this with you.

Did Jesus really rise from the dead?

April 23rd, 2009

A few months ago, publishers of SEVEN magazine asked me to write a cover article entitled ”Easter: Is it for Real?” for their March 1, 2009 issue. You can read the full article, and the whole issue, online. Scroll down the page for the appropriate PDF of the magazine. Below is a brief overview of the article.

____________________

“Could you come over and explain the real meaning of Easter to our boys? I don’t want them to think that Easter is only about the Easter Bunny and chocolate eggs.” Though expressing no open commitment to the Christian faith, this young couple instinctively knew that the story of Jesus dying and rising again was at the heart of Easter, that it was something important for their young boys to know.

Christians, at least in the evangelical branch in which I was raised, tend to make a great deal of fuss over Christmas, while observing the surrounding events of Jesus’ death and resurrection with relatively little fanfare. And yet, Easter presents a great opportunity to talk about the heart of Christianity – that Jesus lived, died and rose again to make atonement for our sins.

A couple of years ago, while discussing Judaism and Christianity with an orthodox rabbi, he challenged me: “Prior to his crucifixion and alleged resurrection, why would a first century Jew have believed that Jesus was the Messiah?” In calling the resurrection “alleged,” my rabbi friend was stating he did not believe it to be true. However, though I doubt he meant to do so, his comment underscored the importance of the resurrection as the crucial, watershed issue in establishing the credibility of Christianity.

Given its vital importance, are there reasonable evidences for believing Jesus actually rose from the dead? There are four common lines of evidence for the physical resurrection of Messiah Jesus.

Aside from the factual evidence above, the circumstantial evidence for Messiah’s resurrection is simply too great to ignore. As Christians we are committed to the truthfulness of Scripture – both the Hebrew Scriptures and the New Testament scriptures. It is God’s Word – we believe what it says. But not everyone shares our commitment to the veracity of Scripture. So is there anything else to which we can appeal? There are several matters demanding plausible alternative explanations, if we are to deny the resurrection of Jesus. Here are just a few.

However, as valuable as apologetics is, I believe one of the best defenses for the reality of the resurrection is the testimony of a transformed life. The New Testament says “If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!” (2 Corinthians 5:17). Just as Jerusalem’s citizens marveled at the bold witness of the early Christians, our culture also takes note of those who live authentic lives. When Christian faith truly informs a believer’s life – in marriage and family relationships, in one’s work ethic, in one’s interests and ambitions – the surrounding community takes note that something powerful is at work in that life.

This was surely true in ancient Thessalonica, for Paul wrote to them: “…your faith in God has become known everywhere…we do not need to say anything about it … they tell how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God, and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead – Jesus, who rescues us from the coming wrath” (1 Thessalonians 1:8-10).

As important as it is to be informed about the reasons for believing in the resurrection, Christians must also be transformed by that resurrection power residing in them through God’s Holy Spirit. It is that empowering presence of God’s Spirit in one’s life that compels the Christian to share the great news that Jesus really did rise from the dead.

Please read the full article . And as always, I welcome your comments and questions.
