Yep! Completely agree.
One thing I have noticed it is difficult to see Jews going for is the idea of God as personal Savior from sin. Without this pons asinorum being traversed, Jesus’ role makes no sense. Most Christians are aware that they cannot furnish enough obedience to God to ever put Him in the position of owing them His favor, but modern rabbinical philosophy posits the opposite, and often painfully so.
It is only when you’ve known you have really stepped in spiritual doo doo big time, and found God forgiving you for it to an amazing extent, that you can appreciate this aspect of God and yield to His salvation in gratitude. Otherwise you’re just going to be a big ball of spiritual pride. The story of David, who engineered the death of Uriah, is one such story.
