Am preparing to leave for Tel-Aviv and Jerusalem to work with our Day of Discovery team on some new video projects  that describe the Jewish roots of our faith.

Hope to capture conversations with several Messianic followers of Jesus whose Jewish heritage helps them understand the way Jesus fulfilled the history, law, and mission of Israel.

Our efforts reflect our conviction that, in so many ways,  Jesus fulfilled the personal and national rescues of Israel’s past, just as he also gave  ultimate meaning and fulfillment to the heart of their national law, their annual cycle of festivals, tabernacle/temple, priesthood, sacrifice, sufferings, and calling to be a blessing to all nations.

While focusing on Jewish roots, our purpose will be to help explain why someone like the Apostle Paul spent  so much of his life studying the foundational and fine points of Jewish law, only to conclude that it was all pointing to the overwhelming goodness and power of the crucified and resurrected Messiah (Philip. 3:1-10).

Once I’m on the road, am  not sure how often I’ll be able to stay in touch with you. I’ll try. (Have camera and if I can get a wireless connection and some time, will try to post some pics and a bit of journal).

In the meantime, please keep in mind what you can find on our DOD.org website. Currently we are featuring a series of programs we did with a group of scholars who over a period of 10 years gave their attention to the historical reliability of the Gospels. These programs, and much of our Day of Discovery archive can be streamed on-line, without cost, at: www.dod.org. It’s a visually rich site where you can find the kind of videos we’ve been working on.

Also, thanks to those of you who have been weighing in and following the last post on “Why Didn’t Paul Quote Jesus?”. This morning, I’ve added a few comments to your own and plan to say more down the road.
