Why did Jesus Christ abolish Shabbat?
Jesus Christ DID NOT abolish Shabbat! He said..."I came to fulfill the Law".
In what sense did Jesus fulfill the role of Jewish messiah?
He didn't. The primary role of the messiah for Jews is to serve as King, to usher in the messianic era of peace. There is still war, and there isn't a messianic kingdom, so Jesus didn't fulfill the role of Jewish messiah.
What Jewish belief helped facilitate acceptance of Jesus?
A:Christians believe that the first-century Jewish expectation of a Messiah should have facilitated their acceptance of Jesus. However, they were expecting a great military leader who would help them defeat the Romans, and Jesus did not meet that expectation. There is no evidence that the Jews saw him as a Messiah. Christians believe that the Jewish belief that the Messiah would be born in Bethlehem should have facilitated their acceptance of Jesus. However, the tradition that Jesus was born in Bethlehem seems to have been unknown until the last quarter of the first century, by which time a permanent schism had begun to open between the Jews and Christians.Christianity arose in the Jewish milieu but, in spite of Acts of the Apostles, seems to have achieved little in terms of acceptance by Palestinian Jews.

Did the Jewish women expect to be the chosen one to bare Jesus the Messiah?
Yes. The 'Sceptre' promise was given to Judah which promised a future Savior or Messiah. Other Prophets, particularly Isaiah spoke of a child being born to a Jewish woman who would fulfill that role. Jesus Himself, proclaimed that He came first to the Jews and was rejected by them all to fulfill Prophecy.
Who came to fulfill the Old Testament?
AnswerChristians say that Jesus came to fulfil the Old Testament. Jews said that Christians did not really understand their ancient scriptures, and that, while a good man, Jesus was not prophesied and was not really sent by God to fulfil the Old Testament.
If Jesus was the King of the Jews why does Judaism therefore not accept Jesus today?
Because at the time of Jesus not all the Jews believed he was the King foretold. This was because Jesus did things that the Jewish religious system called "blasphemous", such as daring to heal people or help in urgent situations on the SABBATH day etc. The Jews were "by-the-book" people and couldn't accept that Jesus did these things against Jewish-sabbath tradition. The Jews didn't understand scripture as well as they would have liked because all of these things were prophesised well before this time, in the books of Daniel, isaiah, eziekial etc. It was very clear that Jesus was indeed the promised Messiah, but the Jewish leaders could not accept this, because it didn't fit in with their pre-concieved ideas. Jesus said He had come not to "do away" with scripture, but to FULFILL it! He also said that he was bringing a NEW covanent ot his people. Messianic Jews are Jews who do accept that Jesus was and is the promised Messiah. There are plenty of messianic Jews today who follow Jesus.
