| Now, there was about this time Jesus, a wise man, if it be lawful to call him a man, for he was a doer of wonderful works--a teacher of such men as receive the truth with pleasure. He drew over to him both many of the Jews,and many of the Gentiles. He was [the] Christ; and when Pilate, at the suggestion of the principal men amongst us, had condemned him to the cross, those that loved him at the first did not forsake him, for he appeared to them alive again the third day, as the divine prophets had foretold these and ten thousand other wonderful things concerning him; and the tribe of Christians, so named from him, are not extinct at this day. JOSEPHUS; THE ANTIQUITIES OF THE JEWS; BOOK 18, CHAPTER 3.3; translator: William Whiston, A.M. |

| "It is by faith and love of God that finds expression in deeds that we live as Jews." Abraham Joshua Heschel made this profound assertion about what he believed to be the beliefs and practices of biblical Judaism. As Christians we share similar beliefs and practices: It is by faith (in Christ) and love of God that finds expression in deeds that we live as Christians. (J. E. Moore) James 2: 14-17 What use is it, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but he has no works? Can that faith save him? If a brother or sister is without clothing and in need of daily food, and one of you says to them, "Go in peace, be warmed and filled," and yet you do not give them what is necessary for their body, what use is that? Even so faith, if it has no works , is dead, being by itself. (NASB) |
