Who is the Son of G-d?

Who is the Son of G-d?

This "Suffering Servant" Holds the Key to Your Salvation
You were created so that you could recognize your Creator, love Him,
and serve Him here on earth. But do you know Who G-d really is? The
answer to this question surprises many people.

It is an easy mistake to think that one is worshipping the one, true
G-d, while actually serving a false one. To help prevent this
mistake, G-d described Himself in the Bible, warning us to remember
how He appeared when He gave the Ten Commandments:

And the Eternal spoke to you from the middle of the fire; you heard
the sound of words, but you saw no form, only a voice....
And guard your souls carefully, for you did not see any form on the
day the Eternal spoke to you in Horev from the middle of the fire,
lest you become corrupt and make for yourselves an idol, an image of
any physical shape, the form of a man or woman (1).

In other words, G-d has no physical shape. He is infinite and
unlimited, and never appears in the form of any human.

Nor does G-d have any "partners." He alone is the only One Who brings
us eternal salvation, as He says in the Bible:

Am I not the Eternal? And there is no other god besides Me -- a just
G-d and Savior; there is none else. Turn to Me and be saved, all the
ends of the earth, for I am G-d and there is none else (2).

Anyone who makes the mistake of worshipping a man for spiritual
salvation will be betrayed (3). Eternal life comes directly from G-d,
Who is One and infinite, and not through any mediator.

G-d's Firstborn Son

So how has G-d brought His message of truth to the world? According
to the Bible, G-d declares that He does have a special son whose
mission is to bring His blessings and His salvation to the entire
world.

Who is this son? Many religious leaders have offered their opinions
on the identity of His son, but really we should find out G-
d's "opinion" on this matter.

In the book of Exodus, G-d openly proclaims His son to the
world: "Thus says the L-rd: My firstborn son is Israel" (4).

"Israel" is the Jewish people -- all of them. The Jews were chosen by
G-d to be His special "son," to be, in the words of the Bible, "a
kingdom of priests and a holy nation" for the whole world (5).

All people are G-d's children, of course, but the Jews are like
a "firstborn son" who brings G-d's Word to his younger brothers.
Every person who learns from the Jews, and helps them fulfill their
special role, becomes a part of G-d's kingdom.

Unfortunately, many times people have not listened to the Jews. For
many centuries, the Christian church killed hundreds of thousands of
innocent Jews -- men, women, and children -- to prevent their holy
message from reaching the rest of the world. Today, church leaders
still try to silence the Jewish message by sending missionaries to
convert Jews to Christianity!

The Bible tells us that the Jews would suffer greatly, not just for
their own sins, but also for the sake of bringing G-d's Word to a
rebellious world:

"Comfort, comfort my people," says your G-d. "Persuade Jerusalem and
call to her, for her time is full, for her sins have been repaid; for
she has received from the hand of the L-rd double for all her sins"
(6).

Salvation Through the Law

The Jewish people have been taught the secret to eternal life and
blessings for all people, and now they finally have the freedom to
reveal G-d's message.

According to that message, the key that unlocks the door to a
personal relationship with G-d is His Law -- one part for the Jews,
the other part for the rest of the world.

At Mount Sinai, G-d gave the Ten Commandments (and hundreds of
others) to the Jewish people. These laws apply only to the Jews in
their special role as the world's spiritual leaders.

But for everyone else, G-d gave the Seven Commandments (and dozens of
other laws). These commandments were given to Noah, after he left the
ark that saved his family from the great flood, as an eternal
covenant with all the peoples of the earth (7). Since Mount Sinai,
the Jews have carried the message of these seven laws to all the
peoples.

A non-Jew who follows these commandments is called a Hasidic Gentile,
and he receives both eternal life and G-d's blessings in his earthly
life. By doing good works exactly as G-d commands, he earns a close
relationship with his Creator.

A Hasidic Gentile celebrates certain "Old Testament" holidays, not
Christian holidays. He prays to G-d in the proper way, according to G-
d's instructions. He also helps the poor, and he guides his fellow
humans -- including non-religious Jews -- back to G-d's Law. A
Hasidic Gentile learns how to redeem every part of his life from the
emptiness of modern existence, becoming a "soldier" in G-d's
spiritual army.

The Messiah's Message to the World

By asking the Jews for spiritual guidance and turning back to "Old
Testament" Law, a Child of Noah also accomplishes the most important
task of all: He helps bring the Messiah to redeem the entire world.

The Messiah is a Jewish king who will gather all the Jewish people to
Israel, destroy all evil, rebuild the Holy Temple in Jerusalem, and
bring true freedom to the world by returning everyone to the Law. He
will institute G-d's eternal kingdom here on earth.

The Messiah will teach the Word of G-d to all nations, causing
Christianity and all other religions to disappear. The Bible says
that everyone will become a Hasidic Gentile, thirsting for the
ancient Truth:

O L-rd, my strength and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of
distress, gentiles will come to You from the ends of the earth and
say, 'We have inherited only lies from our fathers, vanity and things
which are not useful. Can a man make gods for himself, and they are
not gods?'
Therefore, behold, I will cause them to know, this time I will let
them know My hand and My strength, and they will know that My Name is
Hashem (8).

In our generation, the spiritual leader of the Jewish people--and
therefore of the whole world--is Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson
(known as the "Lubavitcher Rebbe"), in New York. He is a righteous
prophet who has never sinned, nor even been tempted, in his entire
life; indeed, he has brought hundreds of thousands of Jews and
gentiles back to the Law. Moreover, he is a direct descendant of King
David.

The Rebbe has revealed that the Messiah will finally arrive now, in
our generation, amidst great miracles. He has also announced that
every Jew, and every gentile, is a representative of G-d to help
bring the Messiah immediately.

An Urgent Call to Action
In the book of Genesis, G-d told Abraham that his descendants, the
Jewish people, would bless the world with the light of G-d's Word.
Only by turning to the Jews can anyone join G-d's holy kingdom:

And I will bless those who bless you, but I will curse those who
curse you; and through you all the families of the earth will be
blessed (9).

G-d promised Abraham that this covenant of priesthood would apply to
all the Jews, forever:

And I establish my covenant between Me and you and your descendants
after you, throughout their generations, for an eternal covenant
(10).

Regardless of your race, religious background, or nationality, G-d is
calling on you to help the Jewish people bring the Messiah. You don't
have to be Jewish to help; in fact, Hasidic Gentiles can serve G-d in
special ways that Jews cannot, since G-d's Law is stricter for Jews.

You can start today, simply by asking for more details. Don't miss
this exciting opportunity!
