The Definition of Irony

Jesus Christ was Jewish. Modern Christianity likes to forget this. And as a Jew, Jesus spent the thirty three years of his life trying desperately to rectify the wrongs that his people had been exposed to by both the Egyptians and Romans. After his death, the very people he was trying to save were further persecuted for another two thousand years in his own name. If that's not irony, I'm not sure that I know what is.

This observation provides a glaring consequence: Jesus was not a Christain!! You might say that the Jewish faith just refused to accept him as their savior; that Christianity, instead, took him as its own. Such an arguement doesn't change the fact that Jesus was still a Jew. Even if one is to accept him as the son of God, he is still the son of the Jewish God. Unless, of course, you just think that Jesus Christ was wrong, and that he was a closet Christian, belonging to a faith that had not yet been created.
