THE JEWISH
BACKGROUND
OF JESUS
WAS JESUS A JEW ETHNICALLY,
OR WAS HIS MOTHER A JEW?ES! Jesus clearly identified with
the Jews of His day, His physical
people and tribe, and their religion
(although correcting its errors). God
purposely sent Him to Judah: “He came
to His own [Judah], and His own [Judah]
did not receive Him.
