Jesus came from the line of David, both by blood and by royal right.
Through Mary, His lineage traces back to David’s son Nathan, establishing His true blood descent. Through Joseph, His legal father, the royal line runs through Solomon, giving Him the rightful claim to David’s throne.
David himself was from the tribe of Judah.
So yes, Jesus was not only the promised Messiah. He was undeniably Jewish by lineage, by covenant, and by prophecy.
However, though He was Jewish, He came to fulfill the law given to the early Jewish people. He became the perfect, unblemished sacrifice so that anyone who follows Him will not perish but will have everlasting life with Him in heaven.
