Messages on Deuteronomy (Page 5)
Weightier Matters
Parashat Eikev
Suffering of the Righteous
Parashat Va’etchanan
Faith is Active!
Emunah (Faith) is not simply intellectual belief, regardless of how sincere or authentic that belief is. The Jewish understanding of emunah is steadfastness and fidelity toward God, which includes belief but is incomplete without faithful obedience to God.
The Eighth Day and the World to Come
Throughout this season and the Messianic Era (may it come quickly!), the glory of God is being revealed in greater and greater measure, culminating with God’s dwelling place being with man!
The Song of Moses and of the Lamb
Just as Moses was given a song to leave behind that would lead the people to repentance, Yeshua was given the Spirit to send in His absence that would lead the people to repentance.
Circumcision of the Heart
God will circumcise our hearts and give us a heart of flesh with His Torah written on it. But that does not remove our responsibility to partner with Him in the process – to choose Him, to circumcise our hearts and to observe His commandments.
Redeeming the Wayward Son
In His great compassion and mercy, God sent His Son Yeshua to bring the lost sheep of Israel back to God and to open the door to eternal life for all who would repent and put their trust in Him.
The Torah of the King
When Yeshua returns as King, He will write at least one copy of the Torah. In the meantime, He has sent the Spirit to write the Torah upon our hearts that we may walk in His ways!
Repairers of the Breach
We are called to the ministry of reconciliation as repairers of the breach, restoring what has been lost regarding the identity of Yeshua and of His message of covenant loyalty to God.
Clinging to Yeshua
Yeshua is the true tzaddik, the perfectly righteous one, to whom we are to attach ourselves. It is through Him that we cling to our Father in heaven.
