Keeping Kosher?

Then Rabbi Yeshua, our Messiah
Replied: “Do you not perceive
Whatever enters a man from outside
Cannot defile him”…be not deceived.
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?
Compromised or Consecrated?

Like Israel of old
We’re to purge our lives
Drive out, all our foes
Know God’s blessings, and thrive.
Leave No Leaven!

So like Israel, we too co-habit
Instead of purging, die to self
Compromising, we let our flesh
Pursue the carnal, and worldly wealth.
Our Heart- Our Control Center

So our heart, we must examine
Must guard, keep sealed
To be healthy, not hardened
Circumcised, not diseased.
A Circumcised Heart

A new creature in Christ
The old, has passed away
A circumcision, without hands
Jesus opened, a new way.
Is Your Heart Circumcised?

Be repentant, not rebellious
Obedient, His Spirit-filled
Submitted, not stubborn
Seek God, not self-willed.
