Simon Peter answered Him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have words of eternal life." --John 6:68
Who Do You Say that I Am? Defending a Messianic Christology includes audio recordings of three sessions from the First Fruits of Zion conference To Whom Shall We Go? Examining Objections to Yeshua. In these sessions, D. Thomas Lancaster discusses the problems with conversion to mainstream Judaism and defends a Messianic and biblical approach to Christology.
In the book of John, many of Yeshua's followers questioned His identity and rejected His claim of descent from heaven. As many of His disciples turned from Him and left, Yeshua asked Peter and those who remained, "You do not want to leave me too, do you?" (John 6:67, NIV). The Master's question echoes today as some believers in the Messianic movement consider conversion into mainstream Judaism. Who Do You Say that I Am? offers a balanced approach to the difficult questions raised by Judaism--specifically questions about the identity of Yeshua and His divine nature.
He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" Simon Peter answered, "You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God." -- Matthew 16:15-16

As one who is newly becoming aware of my Jewish roots, I can only say that I am truly blessed by how the scriptures are opening up to me in a new way that I could have never imagined. I do not know if I actually have any Jewish blood in me, but I am claiming the Jewish heritage that has made possible my greater relationship with Yeshua. In HIM, praise in all thins, Steve O.
