353 Yeshua, A Light to Both Jews and Gentiles
Philosophy & Religion | Registration opens 8/5/25 9:00 AM EDT
Jesus’ Hebrew name is Yeshua. He is the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Son of God sent to both His own people and all the other nations of the earth, to seek and save what was lost. What was lost in the Garden of Eden is relationship with God due to the rebellion (the disobedience of Adam and Eve). That relationship is restored through the Son of God for both Jews and Gentiles as is seen through modern Messianic Judaism.
