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.
Forgetting What Lies Behind
The tribes of Reuben and Gad assured Moses that they were not acting according to the ways of their fathers by settling East of the Jordan. In doing this, they were, in essence, forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what God had in store for them.
Too Small a Thing
We are created for good works that we are to walk in today. It is too small a thing only to be saved for the world to come!
The Battle is the Lord’s
We look to the day of Yeshua’s return and the restoration He will bring. In the meantime there is work to be done, standing firm in faithfulness and equipping ourselves for the road ahead.
The Mystery of God
The mysteries within the commandments laid out in this portion point to the mystery of God’s plan of redemption through Yeshua our Messiah!
A Good Name
Unlike Korach, Moses and Aaron operated in humility with a heart that desired to make God’s Name great rather than their own. Because of this, God made their names great.
