Grace and Justice: The Divine Balance

Throughout the tapestry of Scripture, grace and justice emerge not as opposing forces but as harmonious expressions of Yahweh's character. The psalmist beautifully captures this divine balance: "Mercy and truth have met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other" (Psalm 85:10).

The grace bestowed upon each believer remains constant; none require more or less than what Yahweh provides. When Rav Sha'ul wrestled with his struggles, Yahweh declared, "My grace is sufficient for you." This divine grace equips every soul to walk victoriously through life's challenges, yet we must remember that Yahweh extends grace according to His sovereign will.

Yeshua demonstrates this perfect union where justice demands payment for transgression, while grace provides redemption through Mashiach's sacrifice. This prophetic fulfillment reveals Yahweh's nature as both just and justifier.

As recipients of the grace of Yahweh, we face a crucial question: Do we harbor resentment when Elohim extends grace to others? The parable of the vineyard workers challenges our entitled hearts, reminding us that divine generosity toward others should inspire gratitude, not envy.

Torah principles guide us toward righteous living, not as burdensome obligations, but as loving responses to the grace we have received. True spiritual maturity manifests when we extend to others the same grace we desperately desire for ourselves.

Perception or Reality_Don't Believe Everything You See 061425

Our human perception often creates a distorted lens through which we view circumstances, filtered by past experiences, expectations, and personal biases. This fundamental disconnect between appearance and reality becomes particularly evident in Israel's wilderness experience when twelve spies were sent to reconnoiter the Promised Land.

The spies' report reveals how perspective shapes our understanding of Elohim's promises. Though they witnessed the land's abundance, their focus shifted to perceived obstacles, causing them to see themselves as "grasshoppers" before their enemies. Remarkably, the inhabitants actually feared Israel, knowing Yahweh's mighty works. This contrast demonstrates how our limited viewpoint can obscure the truth of Yahweh’s Word.

Scripture calls us to "walk by faith, not by sight" (2 Corinthians 5:7), trusting Yahweh's ways even when circumstances appear overwhelming. The commandment regarding tzitzit serves as a visual reminder to follow His Torah rather than our wandering hearts and deceiving eyes.

When we anchor ourselves in Yahweh's unchanging Word and Yeshua's example, we transcend deceptive perceptions and walk confidently in His promises, regardless of temporal appearances.

The Prophetic Heart of Torah: Moshe's Bronze Serpent and Mashiach's Redemption

The Torah unveils prophetic truths that reveal Yahweh's redemptive heart toward His covenant people. Within its ancient narratives lies a stunning messianic blueprint, perfectly demonstrated in Moshe's bronze serpent account from Numbers 21. When Israel faced judgment through fiery serpents due to their complaints and faithlessness, Yahweh commanded Moshe to craft a bronze serpent and lift it upon a pole. Those who looked upon it in faith would live. This wasn't serpent worship,it was prophetic revelation pointing directly to Mashiach's atoning work. Yeshua Himself declared this connection in John 3:14-15, explaining that just as Moshe lifted the bronze serpent for physical healing, the Son of Man would be lifted up on the cross for spiritual restoration. The Hebrew word "nes" (pole/standard) signifies a rallying point of hope—precisely what Yeshua's crucifixion represents. The Torah's ceremonial laws, including the red heifer purification ritual, similarly foreshadow Mashiach's cleansing work. These aren't merely historical accounts but divine blueprints revealing Yahweh's eternal plan for redemption through His Messiah, demonstrating Torah's enduring prophetic relevance for believers today.

Mikveh (Baptism): Restoration Through Yeshua's Cleansing

The ancient practice of mikveh reveals Yahweh's profound desire for intimate relationship with His people. Throughout Scripture, ritual immersion served as preparation for entering Elohim's presence—from priestly consecration to purification from uncleanness. This sacred act symbolizes spiritual transformation: death to the old self and resurrection to new life. Through Yeshua ha-Mashiach, we experience the ultimate mikveh. As Colossians declares, we are "buried with Him in immersion" and "raised with Him" through faith. This messianic fulfillment transcends mere ritual, creating genuine heart transformation. The Ruach ha-Kodesh renews our inner being, making us vessels worthy of Yahweh's dwelling. This prophetic restoration empowers and changes our lives,walking in Torah's wisdom while embracing grace. No longer separated by sin, we approach the throne boldly, equipped for worship and service. Our weaknesses become opportunities for Elohim's strength to manifest, as His cleansing love transforms insecurity into confident faith, enabling an authentic relationship with our Creator.

The Purpose and Power of the Ruach HaKodesh

The Ruach HaKodesh moves with divine purpose—not merely for signs and wonders, but to transform believers from within. Throughout Scripture, from Joseph to Solomon, from David to the apostles, the Spirit equipped Yahweh's servants with wisdom, understanding, and power. While many seek spectacular manifestations, Yeshua teaches that the true mark of the Spirit is walking in Covenant Relationship, evidenced by a heart of obedience. As Ezekiel prophesied, Yahweh places His Ruach within us "that they may walk in my statutes." The Ruach brings conviction of sin, guides into all truth, and empowers believers as witnesses. At Shavuot (Pentecost), the outpouring resulted in repentance, healing, unity, and bold proclamation of Mashiach. The ultimate evidence of the Ruach's presence isn't merely spiritual gifts but transformed hearts bearing fruit—love, joy, peace, and faithfulness—as we walk according to Yahweh's ways.

Teach us to pray

Shalom y’all, this week we talk about prayer. There are so many things we can learn about prayer, but to me, the most important thing to remember is that prayer is a connection to YHWH. It can be private and personal but also open in a group or part of worship. With so many thoughts on prayer, or maybe the temptation to make it a “formula”, could be a reason Yeshua's disciples asked Him to teach them to pray.
