Who is Yeshua (Jesus) and what is His mission?
Yeshua (Jesus) came to this earth with a very specific and loving purpose. The Bible is very clear about this. He was sent first and foremost to the people with whom God made an eternal covenant. Yeshua (Jesus) Himself says in Matthew 15:24:
“I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”
Through His coming nothing has changed in the holy foundations that God had already given. Yeshua (Jesus) did not come to erase history, but to complete it. In Matthew 5:17 He says:
“Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets. I have not come to abolish them, but to fulfill them.”
If you follow Yeshua (Jesus), you connect yourself with the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and with the living words of the Law and the Prophets, which today are as powerful and true as ever.
You do not need to know everything yet
Perhaps you feel the urge to follow Yeshua (Jesus), but you also still have an enormous number of questions. That is completely normal. Faith is a journey and a process of deepening. You do not have to understand the whole Bible from the first day or do everything perfectly. God looks at your heart and at your desire to get to know Him.
Strength in difficult times and danger
Do you live in an environment where it is dangerous to believe in Yeshua (Jesus)? Or are you going through a deep valley of illness, loneliness or grief right now? Know that you do not stand alone. Yeshua (Jesus) promises His rest and peace to everyone who is struggling. We pray God’s supernatural strength, protection and courage over you. Even in the darkest night, His light is with you. He never leaves you.
My Confession: I want to follow Yeshua (Jesus)
If it is your desire to begin following Yeshua (Jesus) and to deepen your faith, you may speak this prayer and confession in your heart or aloud:
“Lord God, I acknowledge that You are the Creator and that Your Law and Your Prophets are the truth. I believe that Yeshua (Jesus) came for the lost sheep of Israel and that He is the fulfilment of Your promises.
Today I choose to follow Yeshua (Jesus). I do not know everything yet and I do not understand everything yet, but from now on I want to deepen my faith and my knowledge of Your Word.
I ask You to give me strength, especially in the difficult circumstances and the environment in which I live. Protect me, lead me by Your Spirit and give me the courage to hold on to You. Amen.”

Find a church where you feel at home
You do not have to walk this road alone. We encourage you to look for a congregation where you feel at home: a place where the Bible is read and explained, where you may ask questions, and where people pray with you and walk with you. That is how you can keep growing as a believer in what you have just come to trust.
Fellow heirs, together with Israel
Through faith in Yeshua (Jesus) you are, together with Israel, an heir of the promises. In his letters (for example Ephesians and Romans) the apostle Paul explains that the nations were originally “strangers”, but have been brought near through the blood of Yeshua (Jesus). In Ephesians 2:12-13 he writes:
“remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without God in the world. But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ.”
The olive tree. In Romans 11 God’s people is compared to a cultivated olive tree. Believers from the nations are like branches of a wild olive tree that have been grafted in among the original branches. So you live from the same root and the same sap as Israel. Romans 11:17-18 says:
“Now if some branches have been broken off, and you, a wild olive shoot, have been grafted in among the others to share in the nourishment of the olive root, do not boast over those branches. If you do, remember that you do not support the root, but the root supports you.”
