As a Jewish follower of Jesus (commonly called a "Messianic Jew"), I do not relate to the Christmas season the way many Christians do, especially those who were raised in a home where Christmas was celebrated. Yet I do not have a problem with the Christian celebration of Christmas as long as the spirit of the celebration is right.

When it is used to murder someone. This isn't hard. A shovel is not innately a murder weapon. Saying "Christ is King" is not innately antisemitic. It's all about how a thing is used. Saying "Christ is King" for an evil purpose - like using it as a weapon to express your hatred or disdain for the Jews - is a grave sin

The Christmas Challenge. Christmas has always been a holiday celebrated carelessly. For millennia, pagans, Christians, and even Jews have been swept away in the season's festivities, and very few people ever pause to consider the celebration's intrinsic meaning, history, or origins.

https://www.myjewishlearning.com/article/how-are-hanukkah-and-christmas-different/
Hanukkah is an eight-day holiday because it commemorates the miracle that one vial of oil, sufficient to light the ancient Temple light for one day, burned for a full eight. Christmas lasts one day, however some Christian denominations celebrate Christmas as a 12-day festival known as Twelvetide. They Commemorate Different Historical Moments.

At the same time, Matthew's account fits well with what we know of Herod's paranoia and ruthless cruelty. The irony of the magi's visit is that while even pagan astrologers come to worship the Jewish Messiah, the illegitimate king of the Jews seeks to destroy him.

For the majority of Americans, December 25 is a time to celebrate the birth of Jesus, but for Jews it is a time to consider ones relationship to the wider society. Some Jews have chosen to adopt the Yuletide festivities. Some have emphatically rejected the rituals and symbols of Christmas. Still others have sought ways to meld Christmas and

What Herod Was Like. Herod was a strange mix of a clever and efficient ruler and a cruel tyrant. On the one hand, he was distrustful, jealous, and brutal, ruthlessly crushing any potential opposition. The Jews never accepted him as their legitimate king, and this infuriated him. He constantly feared conspiracy.

As for a right reading of the New Testament passages, they are written against a backdrop where: 1. large crowds of Jews followed Jesus and it was mainly Jewish leaders who rejected Him (see, for example, Matthew 21:33-46); 2. all the first followers of Jesus were Jews; 3. Peter and Paul are presented as observant, Torah-keeping Jews (see, e.g

The magi want to find the king of the Jews. So does Herod. Even as an infant, Jesus' identity as king provides the source of conflict for Matthew's story. The conflict never resolves itself. Matthew's story establishes Jesus' royal identity right from the beginning, an issue that remains contested even upon the cross.

A Homily for Christ the King. On the feast of Christ the King, we are called to acknowledge that Jesus is in fact our King. It is one thing to say that He is our King because the song in Church says so, or the preacher says so, or the Bible says so (yes, faith does come by hearing), but it is quite another for us to personally say that Jesus is

Graciously, Jesus consented to explain Himself and His kingdom. Yes, He admitted that He is a king, but His kingdom (reign) does not come from the authority of the world. The Jews were under Roman authority, and Pilate was under the authority of the emperor, but Jesus derived His authority from God. His kingdom is spiritual, in the hearts of

If Jesus were to become king and free Israel from Roman rule, He would be able to avoid crucifixion, so He may have felt tempted: "Having therefore a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast to what we profess. For we do not have a High Priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses

The Magi Visit the Messiah. 2 After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi[ a] from the east came to Jerusalem 2 and asked, "Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.". 3 When King Herod heard this he was disturbed, and all Jerusalem
