Messianic Judaism is a religious movement that combines elements of Jewish tradition with the belief in Jesus (Yeshua) as the Messiah and Savior. It emphasizes the continuity of Jewish identity and practice while acknowledging the fulfillment of Jewish prophecies through Jesus. Theologically, Messianic Jews uphold the Old Testament (Hebrew Scriptures) and the New Testament as sacred texts, interpreting the latter as the culmination of God’s promises to Israel.In the New Testament, passages such as Romans 1:16 affirm the Gospel's priority to the Jew first and also to the Gentile, reflecting the belief that Jesus came to fulfill the Jewish Law and Prophets (Matthew 5:17). Additionally, prophecies from the Hebrew Scriptures, such as Isaiah 53, are interpreted by Messianic Jews as pointing to the suffering servant, which they believe is fulfilled in Jesus. This movement seeks to maintain a Jewish cultural identity while embracing the messianic claims of Jesus, thus bridging the gap between Judaism and Christianity. The Apostle Paul, himself a Jew, exemplifies this dual identity in Romans 11, where he speaks of the Jewish people as still having a special place in God's plan.
