1834.—Was Jesus a Jew?

By Editor

Was Jesus a Jew? I know He was a Hebrew, but was He not of Jewish descent?

The word “Hebrew” came from Eber, an ancestor of Abraham. Gen. 10:21. Hence Abraham is called the Hebrew. Gen. 14:13. From Abraham sprang Isaac; from Isaac, Jacob; from Jacob, Judah; and from Judah came the term Jew. And the earthly lineage of Jesus is traced through Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Judah, etc. Matt. 1:1, 2. Hence Jesus was a Jew, and moreover He declares that “salvation is of the Jews.” John 4:22. He came unto His own, and His own received Him not.” John 1:11. These are simple Bible facts.
