Bible Note: Shalom Hank; I personally hold to the view that Yeshua taught in Hebrew which means that he would have said "aniy haderek, ha'emet, v'ha'chay". These Hebrew words are very siginicant and all related back to the Torah, the torah is the derek (way, road, path) one is to take. Exodus 18:20 And you will bring to them the light of the decrees and Torah and make known to them the road they are to walk in and the work which they are to do. The emet (truth), in Hebraic thought is what you hold onto, is the Torah. Psalms 119:42 I will answer their blasphemous word, for my Torah is truth. The Torah is how we achieve chai (life). Deuteronomy 32:47 For it is not a vain thing for you; because it is your life: and through this thing [Torah] you shall prolong your days in the land, where you go over Jordan to possess it. Yeshua is the word of God, which is synonymous with the Torah of God, Yeshua is the living Torah. We are to walk in the Torah as Yeshua did. 1 John 2:6 Whoever claims to live in him must walk as Jesus did. Shalom Simchat Torah |
