Jews for Jesus Australia

We relentlessly pursue God’s plan for the salvation of the Jewish people.

We are a non-profit organization made up primarily of Jewish people, as well as other followers of Jesus who are committed allies of the Jewish people. Jews for Jesus became the name of the nonprofit organization founded in the USA in 1973, but it’s nothing new; Jewish people have been believing in Jesus since, well, Jesus! Just as we have joyfully passed down our rich heritage from generation to

generation, we also pass down the hope our ancestors had in a coming Messiah—a hope we believe is realized in Jesus. Many Jewish people have still never heard that faith in Jesus is a viable and thriving expression of Jewish life, and we want to change that! After all, every person should have the opportunity to decide who the Messiah is for themselves—not let that decision be made for them by rabbis 2,000 years ago. That’s why we facilitate Jewish community, offer spiritual care, and provide local services in over a dozen cities around the world. Here in Sydney, we host Bible studies, conduct events and discussions in our art lounge, and run a bookshop in Bondi Junction. In this way, we fulfill the mission God gave the Jewish people to bring His light to the nations. If Jesus really is the Messiah, there is nothing more Jewish than following him and sharing his message.

There’s a story from Jesus’ life that is very hard for Gentile followers of Jesus (like me) to understand. It’s the story of Jesus and a non-Jewish mother from north of Israel who came seeking help from the “Son of David.” Jesus tells her that he was “sent only to the lost sheep of Israel,” and then says it’s not right to “take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.”

Ouch. What could he possibly mean by that? Did Jesus hold prejudiced views of non-Jewish peoples and intentionally exclude them?

I’m very confident that he did not. Throughout the Gospels, Jesus displays the best of Jewish moral values in line with the Torah, including the admonition to be welcoming to “sojourners”—non-Jewish people who came looking for refuge in the land of Israel.1

But it’s hard to see those values in this story unless we read it more closely and give it some important context from the Jewish Bible.
If we do that, this story from Jesus’ life can actually show us what it means for Jewish people to be both “chosen” and inclusive as they follow the Messiah. And for Gentile Christians like myself, it shows us a deeper level of God’s love for all peoples in the Messiah.

This story can sound harsh at first – but in its Jewish context, it reveals something deeply compassionate and profound.

Did Jesus tell a Gentile woman that he was only sent to Israel? Was she not offended? A bit of context reveals the important truth behind this story.

Maybe you’ve heard this before: “No real Jewish person believes in Jesus.”
But Yeshua’s first followers were all Jewish – and Jewish people have continued following him ever since.
Faith in Jesus doesn’t make us less Jewish. For many of us, it deepens our connection to our heritage, Scriptures, and Messiah.
What are your thoughts on Jewish people who believe in Yeshua today?

“Can you be Jewish and follow Jesus?”

We get asked this a lot.

So after the response to our last post, we decided to sit down and talk about it.

Jesus was Jewish. His disciples were Jewish. And today, there are still Jewish people who believe he is the Messiah.

Following Yeshua doesn’t have to mean leaving Jewish identity behind.

Shavuot is one of the most significant festivals in the Jewish Scriptures, yet many people have never explored its connection to Moses, the giving of the Torah, Pentecost, and the story of Yeshua.

This guide walks through key Scriptures, reflections, and prayer points that trace the journey from Sinai to Acts 2 and invite readers to consider the hope of the New Covenant promised by the prophets.

Whether you are exploring questions about God, the Bible, or the Jewish roots of faith, we would love for you to read it!
