Aparently Jesus himself couldn't do it. Anyone else want to take a shot at it?

Don't bother yourself if they are stubborn. Let Jesus prove them wrong when he return.

Even Christian materials that are extra advantageous than sympathetic and charitable to the Sixties circulate 'Messianic Judaism' will concede that 80-ninety 5% of Messianic "Jews" have been by no skill raised in a Jewish kinfolk, and can't additionally be heavily called an apostate from Judaism. there is even some embarrassment among most of the leaders of the missionary strikes, brought about by skill of the reality that their congregations do the choice of what they have been meant to do. particularly than convert Jews, they have an inclination to entice from Christians...a lot of whom replace into attracted to what Judaism certainly is, and, upon doing the objective examine, make a bona fide conversion to a actual branch of Judaism. So, in all honesty, your conventional Messianic "Jew" embraced "Yeshua HaMashiach'' whilst he replace into sitting in his kinfolk pew on the community Southern Baptist church, examine a flier on the subject of the overpowering could help carry the Jews to Christ, and questioned if he had a Jewish super-grandmother. And "Jews who have confidence in Jesus' in basic terms do not exist...adherents of Judaism and a veneration of a demigod are 2 conflicting realities. To argue in any different case would be as absurd and/or asinine as Muslim missionary initiatives that argue that actual Christians are Muslims. Peace

You can't because the identification of Jesus as "The Messiah" didn't happen until Saul of Tarsus saw a marketing opportunity, changed his name to Paul, and started preaching a risen Jesus to the Gentiles. Prior to that, the Jesus movement was part of a radical part of the Essene sect in Galilee and Jesus was just a local leader that went up to Jerusalem, caused a ruckus in the temple, got himself arrested by the Romans and was executed for sedition. Paul is the one that blew everything all out of proportion, made all the outrageous claims about Jesus, and started his cult of personality that has since evolved into Christianity.

In Jerusalem, as we speak, thousands of Jews are convicting into Christians.
PS: Jesus did say that Christan's are going to do works greater then he did on earth.

They think that the Messiah is yet to come but, they better confess with their tongue that Jesus is Lord.

It is not our business to convince anyone of anything. We are to be ready to give a reason for the hope that is within us--that is all.
When asked, I just point my Jewish friend to the prophesies of the Tonach. That is where the proof is. I made a quick guide to Who the Messiah is in the link below.

No one can convince anyone of anything.
The reason?
People have their own minds. We are not mindless creatures walking this earth. We have been given freedom to choose what we do/wear/eat/think etc.
Anyone in the Jewish faith has the same freedom of choice that someone in the christian faith. You wouldn't want someone trying to convince you that Jesus never lived would you?

There are MANY Jews who have accepted Jesus as the Messiah. There are groups such as "Jews for Jesus," and several Messianic Jewish movement. Those who would be save will be, those who won't, won't YBIC

Jesus' return has been predicted more times than we can count. How many times has he returned (save for the immediate resurrection)?
Zero.
It's hard to convince some one with a horrible trrack record like that. I mean if I picked all 42 super bowls wrong, would you trust me for super bowl 43? Nope!
