Rabbi Tovia Singer spoke against Schneider for his faith in Jesus as the Messiah, calling him the “chief rabbi.” Yet, what may have been said as a tongue-in-cheek statement is actually a great compliment because of Schneider’s Christ-like resemblance of the ultimate rabbi, King Jesus Himself.
Schneider has made it clear that no one, not even the Jewish people, can save themselves from sin. Instead, we are all in need of a gracious and merciful God to come and rescue us from the grave.
“The Law’s true intent was to cause mankind to recognize that we are not in and ourselves capable of keeping the Law to perfection,” Schneider says. “At the end of the day, our heart is not true enough, it’s not pure enough , it’s not perfect enough to meet the demands of the Law, and recognizing that we are now prepared to receive God’s ultimate answer, which is the Messiah, King Jesus.”
Despite criticism and misunderstanding, Rabbi Kirt Schneider has stood firm in his faith with humility, grace, and unwavering conviction. His bold proclamation of Jesus as the Messiah is not driven by popularity or acceptance, but by a deep love for truth and a heart set ablaze by the revelation of God’s redemptive plan through Yeshua.
Rabbi Schneider’s life is a testament to what it means to follow in the footsteps of Jesus—full of truth, full of love and full of purpose. He continues to bridge the gap between the ancient truths of Judaism and the fulfillment found in Christ, lighting the way for others to follow.
