Absolutely correct! In fact, you spook me a little in that you would make this point. It is pivitol, in my opinion, to a clearer understanding of Christ.
I'm sorry I spooked you. I've been studying the Jewish Roots of Christianity for about seven years now. I was introduced to them by Dwight Pryor and the Center for Judaic-Christian Studies (www.jcstudies.com). It's fascinating. And you are correct, it really opens your eyes to what Yeshua was doing.
Shalom.
