Are you complete?

Some Christians believe that Jews' eyes are veiled because they don't see Yeshua as Messiah, sometimes alluding to Deuteronomy 29: 2-4 ~ And Moses summoned all Israel and said to them, "You have seen all that the LORD did before your eyes in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh and all his servants and all his land; the great trials which your eyes have seen, those great signs and wonders. Yet to this day the LORD has not given you a heart to know, nor eyes to see, nor ears to hear." (NASB)

But could it be that many Christians' eyes are veiled because they can't see Messiah Yeshua in Torah? These believers view Torah as law, a burden, legalistic, an unscriptural method to salvation. And if following Torah were any of those things, it would be unscriptural. But believers who do follow Torah know that Yeshua is the atonement. Following Torah is about santification, about a deeper walk with God.

So as some Christians see a complete Jew as one who accepts Yeshua, can we also see a complete Christian as one who accepts that being Torah-observant is Messiah-like, Christ-like?

What do you think?
