Keeping Kosher?
Then Rabbi Yeshua, our Messiah
Replied: “Do you not perceive
Whatever enters a man from outside
Cannot defile him”…be not deceived.
God Defines, not the Rabbis
With destruction, of the Temple
No more offerings, blood sacrifice
Instead of faith, in God’s salvation
Rabbis decided ‘works’, will suffice.
Day of Atonement
Yet Yom Kippur, now has no offering
Cannot atone, no perfect ram
For Yeshua, The Mashiach
Already came, fulfilled God’s plan.
Rabbinical Writings or God’s Word?
With destruction, of the Temple
No more offerings, blood sacrifice
Instead of faith, in God’s salvation
Rabbis decided ‘works’, will suffice.
My Jewish Background-Tefillin (Phylacteries)
So while able, to wrap Tefillin Had my inner barrier, of sin
Understood, Messiah Yeshua
Forgives and purifies, within.
The Jewish Messiah Foretold
While the ‘Tanach’, Old Testament
Clearly details, Messiah’s picture
Most Pharisees, rejecting Jesus
The One fulfilling, God’s scripture.
God Doesn’t Believe In Luck!
So, life is not random ‘luck’
God knows our will and ways
Sees our heart’s intent
God decides our lot, always.
An Observant Jew ?
Are your sins simply covered
Or taken away
Are you hoping good deeds
Will save on that Day?
Our Heart- Our Control Center
So our heart, we must examine
Must guard, keep sealed
To be healthy, not hardened
Circumcised, not diseased.
Yom Kippur-Day of Atonement
Despite our striving to be ‘good’
We fall short, are unrighteous
Messiah’s offering, atonement
By faith, we’re made righteous.
