Embracing Faith and Community
The Star and the Lamb is more than just a blog; it’s a community for those on a similar spiritual path. Here, you’ll find videos, pictures, and testimonies from others who have journeyed from Judaism to Christianity, providing support and connection.
Our voice is caring and understanding, aiming to guide you through your own spiritual journey with compassion and empathy. We welcome you to explore, learn, and grow with us as we uncover the layers of faith and religious experience.
Our tagline, “Two Covenants, One Faith” reflects the idea that God’s promises in the Old Covenant (Torah, Tanakh) and the New Covenant (Jesus as the Messiah) are not separate or contradictory but part of the same divine plan.
- “Two Covenants” acknowledges both the Jewish covenant (given to Israel through Abraham and Moses) and the fulfillment in Jesus (the New Covenant).
- “One Faith” expresses that believing in Jesus as the Messiah doesn’t erase or replace Jewish faith but completes it—bringing the promises of the Tanakh (Old Testament) to their fulfillment.
Yeshua (יֵשׁוּעַ) is the original Hebrew name of Jesus. It means “salvation” or “Yahweh saves” (Yahweh being the name of God in Hebrew).
When the angel appeared to Joseph in Matthew 1:21, he said:
“You shall call His name Jesus [Yeshua], for He will save His people from their sins.”
This ties directly to the meaning of Yeshua—Salvation.
