Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist

By focusing on the Jewish context of Jesus' teachings, all of his words not only begin to make sense; they come alive in a way that is exciting and powerful. I can testify to this from experience; the more I've studied Jesus's teachings in their Jewish environment, the more he fascinates me, and the more he challenges me to change the way I see who he was, what he was doing, and what it means for my life today.
So, whether you're Catholic or Protestant, Jewish or Gentile, believer or nonbeliever, if you've wondered, Who was Jesus really? I invite you to come along with me on this journey. As we will see, it is precisely the Jewish roots of Jesus' words that will enable us to unlock the secrets of who he was and what he meant when he said for his disciples, "Take, eat, this is my body."
