Who was the primary audience of Christ's earthly ministry according to Les Feldick?
Christ's earthly ministry was directed primarily, though not exclusively, to the Jew under the Old Testament covenant promises. The signs in John were given to Israel, and every Jew Jesus dealt with was still a law-keeping Jew while the Temple continued operating.
Les teaches that the signs in John's Gospel—eight of them—were not merely miracles or wonders but signs, and because the Jew required a sign, they were directed to the nation of Israel. He emphasizes throughout his Gospel teaching that everything in Christ's earthly ministry was directed primarily, not exclusively, to the Jew under the Old Testament covenant promises. At that time Christ had not yet died, and they had no idea He was going to die; they were to believe He was the Christ coming in fulfillment of those covenants. Every Jew Jesus dealt with was still a law-keeping Jew, and the Temple was still going full blast.
