Ken,  while what you state is truth...the truth of it still is He was also still very human. This is the very reason it is nearly incomprehensible for the human mind to embrace a complete understanding of how He can be both God and human. But the truth is...directly revealed in scripture...He was indeed both. Therefore, while still God, Christ was born into a Jewish family, raised on Jewish traditions and He honored  them. It isn't distinctly worded in scripture, but looking underneath the layers of Christ's actions...it's evident His embrace of the Jewish life into His human side was multi-fold. But mainly it was to honor the covenant that God made with Abraham, Issac and Jacob...and to have Him relate to humans so they knew God desired relationship with them. There is always reason for why God does what He does...and He will always reveal His ways in scripture...maybe not word for word, but it will be revealed in what He teaches, how He teaches and how He related to His children while walking this earth.

So Jonathan definitely speaks of truth when he states what he does concerning Jesus being highly informed by Judaism. It is all encompassing concerning the God-Man...Christ.
