S3 EP10 | Did Jesus Fail?

This is our final episode of the season, and it’s a big one!

Jesus came as Savior of the world, but most of the world doesn’t believe in Him. Does that mean He failed in what He came to do? In this episode of A Jew and A Gentile Discuss, Ezra and Carly ask these hard questions and more.

• What was Jesus’ goal? Did He fail?
• Jesus died – isn’t that defeat?
• If Jewish people are God’s Chosen People, why didn’t Jesus save them while He was on Earth?
• If Jesus’ earthly ministry was to the Jewish people, why did He make it so hard for them to accept Him?
• Why does the Bible say Jewish people have a veil over their eyes?

Along the Way

Along the way, you’ll gain insight into the following:

• The Jewish concept of the Messiah’s role
• Why the disciples asked the resurrected Jesus if He was now going to restore the kingdom to Israel
• Something that Christians have a second nature understanding of but to Jewish people is scandalous
• The blindness and partial hardening of the Jewish people, for a time, and what that means for the Gentile world
• When and how that blindness will come off from Jewish eyes
• The Messiah’s mission to transform hearts before we would actually accept His rule in His Kingdom
