First let me begin with my basic assumptions of Christianity/Judiasm.
Christians are jews who believe the messiah has come
Jews believe the messiah's a little late.
If I'm wrong on these my apologies
but if not...
The way my friend explained it to me is that there is something inherent in the nature of the Messiah that would be immediately recognizable without necessarily being explicitly stated. Thus although Jesus would come as a Jew, he would also be like a signpost saying, "Judiasm is now over, follow me to the Lord"
or something to that effect.
