Les Feldick Bible Study

Why did Jesus come according to Les Feldick?

According to the explanation, Jesus came first and foremost to prove who He was, and secondly to prove that Israel needs Him. The miracle at Cana demonstrated that He, as Messiah, alone could bring true joy to the nation, filling it brimful, though Israel rejected that future fulfillment.

Les explains that Jesus’ first and foremost purpose was to prove who He was, and secondly to prove that Israel needs Him. The wedding feast at Cana had run out of joy; Israel’s religion had bogged them down and left them destitute of joy. Jesus, as their Messiah, is the only One who can bring true joy to the nation. When He brings joy, it is not half-hearted or 75 percent but brimful. This joy, however, is still in Israel’s future because they never attained the fullness of His promises and kept rejecting it.
