| Summary: | Messianic Jews and Palestinian Christians each claim Jesus as the center of their faith. Their location in the Middle East gives them special affection for the Middle Eastern Jesus. But their varied histories, cultures, and socio-political dynamics condition each to see particular aspects of Jesus.Messianic Jews explore the meaning of Jesus in the context of normative Judaism, which has not accepted Jesus as Messiah. Messianic Jews are keen to show how Jesus makes them more Jewish, not less Jewish. Palestinian Christians who experience the oppression of the state of Israel are encouraged by Jesus, the refugee who acted justly and spoke against injustice. Messianic Jews and Palestinian Christians see Jesus as the basis of reconciliation, but their different understandings of Jesus in relation to the power of the state of Israel are a source of tension. |
