What is it that Jews do not understand about Christians? What do Christians not understand about Jews? How has that mutual misunderstanding hindered the development of healthy Jewish-Christian relations, and how do we overcome it? That’s the opening topic in this part of our conversation with David Nekrutman. He has been dealing with these questions for over 20 years, and has some ideas about how to make things better between these two parts of God’s covenant people.
Improved relations between Christians and Jews requires clear thinking and discernment of truth from fiction. Too often, we get sidetracked by news items and stories that turn out to be little better than rumors, but which attract our attention. Barry Phillips and David Jones talk about this in their midrash called, “That’s Sensational.” It really is a matter of what our hearts are inclined to receive, which is what our musical guests Solomon Lopez and Jimmie Black sing about.

Here's an example of my faith. This is a deep dive into the conversation between Jesus and Nicodemus. There is so much more going on in this conversation than just the famous verse John 3:16 if you know how to look for it!

Jacob knew Laban's reputation, so he was very explicit in his negotiation terms: "Rachel, your younger daughter." Good plan, but it didn't help. God had another plan in mind. See #genesis 29:18.
Was Leah meant to marry Esau? Some believe so because of the symmetry of events in the story: Jacob lied to Isaac in order to ensure he received Esau's blessing, so God arranged for Laban to lie to Jacob to ensure he received Esau's bride too. Leah and Rachel had to know what was going on, but they didn't tell Jacob. They were complicit in Laban's nuptial switcheroo.

Yeshua compared his own ministry to that of Jacob's.
The Gates of Heaven opened for both men. Heaven and Earth were shaken to their core by the lives of both men.
Through Jacob and his wives, the nation of Israel was established. Through Yeshua and his disciples, the Kingdom of God is established.
