Was Jesus a Jewish Rabbi?
Email Bible question and answer:Was Jesus a Jewish rabbi?
Answer:
Yes. Two genealogies of Jesus Christ are found in the Bible, one in Matthew 1 and the other in Luke 3. Both genealogies trace Jesus ancestry back to David. From David the genealogy goes like this: David son of Jesse son of Obed son of Boaz son of Salmon son of Naason son of Aminadab son of Aram son of Esrom son of Phares son of Judas (Judah) son of Jacob son of Isaac son of Abraham.
Was Christ a rabbi? Yes again. This is a Jewish title for teacher given to Christ. see Matthew 26:25, Mark 9:5, 11:21, John 1:38, and more.
How about the Apostles?
According to the Biblical Timeline ten of the original twelve tribes of Israel were lost during the various sacking and captivities from 735 BC to 720 BC.
The tribe of Judah had remained loyal to Solomon's son Rehoboam when the nation split after Solomon's death. They occupied Jerusalem, city of David. (I Kings 12:20) Other verses suggest that Benjamin also remained. (I Kings 12: 23)
From this we can safely conclude that not only was Christ a Jew but so were all the apostles. In fact we have not only the Bible (both the New and Old Testament) but Christianity itself thanks to the Jewish people who wrote and preserved these records and were the original members of Christ's church. They are still God's chosen people and He will redeem them. (Isaiah 11:111, 44:23, 51:11, 66:13 Romans 11:26 and other prophecies too numerous to mention.)
