This topic is about Jews for Jesus and that is what I am discussing. If you are not interested in the topic of this thread, then you are free to ignore it.

For those who are truly interested, I noticed on pg. 160 of Jay Sekulows' testimony, he discusses Isaiah 53. The Holy Spirit is truly working in opening up eyes and leading people to the Truth.

Here is another powerful testimony about a Jewish doctor who accepted Jesus as his personal Messiah:

As a young boy, I can remember thinking about God's command to Abram in Genesis 12, "Leave your country, your people and your father's household and go to the land I will show you." This was a difficult command, but Abram so readily obeyed. I imagined myself walking and communing with God as my forefathers had. I yearned for a dynamic, intimate relationship with the God of Israel.

I knew without a doubt that the Jesus spoken about was the One who could bring me into a relationship with God. I didn't need to look any further or strive any harder, because Y'shua the Messiah had come to me. He was no longer unreachable.

Thank you for the reminder, Gorm. It was definitely needed and appreciated. This topic is specifically about Jews for Jesus, it would be nice to be able to post about this topic without being attacked. Thanks again.

I believe the Holy Spirit can use the scriptures to communicate His Truth, here is another example of using verses from the book of Isaiah to show how Jesus fulfills the prophecy:

I paged on in that Bible and read John 14:6: "I am the way and the truth and the life. No-one comes to the Father except through me." That is a very exclusive statement: if what Jesus says is true, then nothing else is. Judaism, Islam etc. are not the way. In addition, because my sin had alienated me from God, the only way back to the Father is through Jesus the Son.

A friend from the M.E. support group copied Messianic prophecy from the back of "The Thompson Chain-Reference Bible," 2nd Improved Edition, pages 1703-1706. She told me to read one prophecy about Jesus in the Jewish Scriptures each day, and to look up its fulfilment in the New Testament. I was also to read Isaiah from chapter 52:13 to 53:12 in one sitting. Every day I did this, I would pray that someone other than Jesus would fulfil the prophecy. But only he did! As a child, I had longed to know God with us. Only in Jesus is this possible, because he is our Immanuel (Isaiah 7:14). The more I read, the more convinced I became that Jesus is the Messiah. When I read through John's gospel, it became obvious that Y'shua is also the Son of God and very God.

When I read the gospel of John, it is obvious that Jesus revealed to him deep and secret things through his belief that Jesus is the messiah, giving him pearls, one of them being the truth that Jesus was the word in the beginning, being created of the father Jehova, from the beginning, maybe just  after eternity......

Jesus is God in the flesh--the Creator was not created. 

John 10:30"I and the Father are one"

John 1:1 "the Word was God."

John 1:14 "And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us"
