"Jesus Is For Everyone, Jesus Is For All"

1st Sunday after the Epiphany - January 7, 2018

 Who did Jesus belong to and what heritage did he espouse loyalty to while growing up and then when emerging as a Jewish rabbi or teacher of the faith guided by the spirit of God, during the last 18-36 months of his life? Was it the Christianity we have come to acknowledge in Western Civilization? Did he become a Gentile? Or was it the Judaism we have come to know in the post 1948 Israel? Or was it simply the faith of the Judean and Galilean people that legend informs us ascended upward from the House of David?
