Some Christians will get a Christmas gift this year that goes unnoticed by too many.

Christmas Day will find hospitals and other businesses staffed by Jews who graciously swap off-days with Christians. It’s an annual act of grace by people (Jews) said to be more about law than grace, on behalf of people (Christians) said to be more about grace than law.

It would be interesting to check the work logs on Yom Kippur to see if the converse is true — whether Christians work that day for Jews in order that the latter may observe the Day of Atonement. Surely the daughter religion should honor her mother, given the sacrifices the mother has made for her daughter.

Putting it that way, though, is confusing in its cleverness.

Christians talk of sacrifice as being accomplished once and for all on the cross of Christ. The Jewish sacrificial system thus comes to an end as Jesus offers himself up as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of the world. He is the Christ — the Messiah — who establishes lasting peace between God and humanity. Christmas celebrates one aspect of that sacrifice by affirming the purity of it from the start, due to the virginal conception and birth of Jesus.

Jews sometimes cringe at these claims, while Christians are left wondering why Jews can’t see their own logic that would lead to one faith, not two. But in the spirit of the season and in the pursuit of peace on earth and good will to all, maybe we Christians can step back a bit from the manger and consider why Jews don’t join us in the stable celebration.

As a Christian, I cannot speak for Jews, but I can at least report on what I have heard from them as a Christmas gift in return.

First, just as ittois “just get over” the pain of divorce and the memories of what happened to cause it, so it’s naïve to think that Jews today can separate Christian belief in Jesus as Messiah from untoward Christian behavior toward Jews who don’t so believe.

The old saying holds: “What you do speaks so loudly I can’t hear what you say.” Christians have a shameful history of scapegoating Jews (read discrimination, pogroms, the Holocaust, and continued hate crimes) for their supposed guilt in crucifying Jesus and rejecting his messiahship. That’s a lot to just get over.

Second, all Jews were not in Jesus’ day, and are not in our day, looking for an individual messiah of Israel And those that were, were not necessarily looking for more than a messiah of Israel. Jews normally read passages from Isaiah about an individual messiah as being a metonym for the messianic mission of Israel as a whole. They think of it this way: Messiah is to Israel as Uncle Sam is to the United States Government; the individual symbolically personifies the people.

Third, one of the chief duties of Israel has been to proclaim the one God to a world prone to worship many gods. The Trinity confuses strict monotheists: To say that Jesus is Lord either empties heaven of the one God, or makes two gods. The Christmas claim therefore imperils the first article of Jewish belief that lies at the center of their existence.

Finally, any notion of messianic kingdom was filled with expectation of eternal peace and justice, God having put down the powers of evil for good and for good. While Christians declare that truth too, we emphasize the “already” and Jews the “not yet” of these hopes. Which makes many Jews still unable to consider Jesus as God’s messiah.

These disagreements don’t even address other matters like our views of covenant, salvation, the afterlife, judgment and reward, and resurrection. Jews and Christians are people somehow divided by a common ancestor — Jesus — but nevertheless united by a common God — Jesus’ Father.

Business

City CounCil approved an ordinance in October to regulate farmers markets, which affects establishments like White Rock Local Market, 702 Buckner. The ordinance requires a yearly fee of $200$300 per market. Such markets can operate up to 28 nonconsecutive days a year. Markets must be located outside of downtown and away from residential areas, and have at least a one-mile distance between another farmers market.

THE SUSPECTS TRIED TO SMOKE MARIJUANA IN BURGER KING.

The surveillance video said it all. Gil Buchheit knew exactly who was on the screen at the neighborhood Burger King. And it was a dropped hamburger that led to the arrest in this “Whopper” of a crime spree.

Buchheit’s bit of detective work began on the night of Oct. 5. He came home to find the glass on the back door broken and tools scattered near the entrance of his L Streets neighborhood home.

Advocate Publishing is interviewing candidates for a FULL-TIME ACCOUNT EXECUTIVE position.

Print advertising sales experience required.

“They tried to kick in the back door and couldn’t, so they broke the glass on the door and crawled in,” he says.

Gone was his 56-inch TV, perfect for watching college and pro football on weekends.

“They stole it at a very untimely moment, with the Rangers going to the playoffs,” he says.

And while his TV would not be returned, some sharp eyes and smart thinking would help lead Buchheit and a friend to the actual burglars.

“What led us to them was that they threw a Burger King hamburger down in the yard,” he says. “And one of my friends just happened to be walking down the driveway, and found a Burger King receipt.”

BENEFITS INCLUDE:

The investigation then ramped up. The receipt had the same date as the crime, and Buchheit and his friend drove to the restaurant. The men asked if they could review the day’s security video at the time printed on the receipt. As the video rolled, Buchheit recognized a woman who had worked for him as a housecleaner about a year ago. They also were able to get a description of a man who was with her only a short time before the burglary.

“The manager said he remembered them distinctly because they tried to smoke pot in the dining area,” Buchheit says.

VALUE OFELECTRONICSSTOLENFROM A RESIDENT OFAPARTMENTSIN THE 6200 BLOCK OFMELODY ON NOV. 10; IT WAS THESECOND TIME THE UNITHAD BEEN BURGLARIZEDIN THE PASTFOUR MONTHS

The Victim: Gil Buchheit

The Crime: Burglary

Date: Tuesday, Oct. 5

Time: 10:30 a.m.

Location: 8600 block of Lockhaven

Buchheit says he learned that she had not lived at her previous address in more than a year, and that she allegedly began using drugs. He then took all his information to the police, who began to monitor the suspect. His work paid off, and may have prevented further crimes.

“They put her on surveillance, and then arrested her,” he says. “They caught her and some other guys in another burglary.”

The resolution of the events turned out perfectly, Buchheit says, despite the loss of his property.

“I didn’t get my TV back, but getting them caught made my day.”

Dallas Police Lt. Mackie D. Ham of the Northeast Patrol Division applauds Buchheit’s tenacity in the case.

“His detective work was outstanding,” Ham says. “By finding out who this was, our undercover officers worked the case, and viewed the suspects commit another burglary offense. Once arrested, the suspects admitted to six or seven other burglaries. His follow-up allowed detectives to gain the identification of the suspects, and we tracked them for several days until they committed another offense.”

Those who find that their homes have been broken into are advised not to touch or disturb anything until officers arrive and process the scene.

“Very often, we are able to get prints that allow us to file on these individuals,” Ham says.
