Scripture says
that
those who earnestly SEEK THE LORD, SHALL FIND HIM.
Jesus has been manifesting HIMSELF in dreams, visions and visitations to 100’s, if not thousands of Muslims in our era—the authentic Jesus. He tells them to learn of HIM IN THE BIBLE. Many have never heard of HIM even though HE is mentioned in the Koran. They have to do some research to get a Bible at great risk to their lives and to maintain their faith in the one who showed HIMSELF to them.
Why wouldn’t Jesus do something similar to a very devout Rabbi of HIS OWN Children of Jacob?
Based upon the lack of evidence of faith in Jesus (unlike Paul), the fact that the rabbi did not share this information with his closest family members or students, and that we are now three years removed from the opening of the note...I honestly do not see why there is so much interest in this note NOW. What new information has come about that this three year old story now takes on some importance?
1 Corinthians 1:22 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:
Matthew 12:39 But he answered and said unto them, “An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet jonas:”
Matthew 24:24 “For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.”
My point is that I cannot say with any true knowledge that this rabbi was visited by Jesus, as I have no evidence of it. If we as Christians then link ourselves to this “sign” and it turns out to not be true then we do harm to the witness of Christ's body...we would have been deceived. I prefer to stick with using God's Word to spread the Truth since it is the only thing I have found so far that is 100% TRUTH.
I hope that the rabbi had turned to Jesus as his Messiah prior to his death...that he had found Him. That would be awesome, but I do not know this to be true so I will leave that in God's hands.
God bless
