We have received great blessings from God – a good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over. From the overflow we too are to be generous!
The Shemitah and Jubilee year are about giving people another chance, a reset! A time of mercy, of having burdens lifted, and being set free.
Times may be difficult, and all around us there may be darkness, but to those who trust in the LORD, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings. And God will comfort His people.
What is the gospel that Yeshua preached? Was it about going to heaven, or was it about heaven coming to earth?
God has promised never to leave or forsake His people, and that He will always be with them. Even when they are sent into exile, God goes with them, shares in their afflictions, and brings them back from their captivity. He is faithful.
The covenant God made with Israel and Judah is an everlasting national covenant, passing from generation to generation. Those who are in covenant with God have a responsibility and obligation to raise their children according to God’s ways and to walk in unity with their community.
In the beginning of creation, God sent forth His Light. When Adam sinned, the Light of creation was hidden, concealed temporarily, to be revealed in the Messianic Era. And at the fulness of time, God sent forth His Son, the Light of the World, to bring repentance and redemption.
The Sages teach the current exile is the result of baseless hatred. What then is the remedy which will bring the final redemption? It is selfless love that overcomes that which divides us, and brings reconciliation. It is loving your neighbor as yourself, and even more, loving each other as Yeshua loved us.
Yeshua is the Prophet like unto Moses who was to come as Redeemer and King, turning the people back to faithfulness to God through the Torah. Yeshua writes His Torah on our hearts by the Spirit so we can pursue righteousness and be transformed into His image from glory to glory!
Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied. Yeshua is the Bread from Heaven, and provides the source of Living Water. In Him, God eternally satisfies our spiritual hunger and thirst through the Word and rebirth by the Spirit.
