Every believer has a curiosity about his/her “roots” in Christianity. Many of us yearn to go back to the first century and learn about how things really were. How the early believers worshiped, what they studied, how they followed Yeshua (Jesus). These questions have caused me to study Scripture and commentaries for many years. And I have prayed earnestly asking HaShem (G-d) to reveal His Truth to me. And I have realized and come to know some basic truths. These truths I would like to share with people who are seeking.
This website and it's articles are meant to be a simple introduction into the life of Yeshua and His visit to our planet some 2,000 years ago. His "real" life. And the best way I could see to do this is to do a study from the Master. Yeshua HaMashiach (Messiah) was and is a Rabbi. He is a teacher of Scripture. I want to examine what He taught and who He was as a Hebrew - in person – here on earth. Then follow what seems a likely and rational way - His path. And that is exactly what He commanded us before He ascended;
Matthew 28:19-20 “Therefore, go and make people from all nations into talmidim (disciples), immersing them into the reality of the Father, the Son and the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit), and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you (the Torah). And remember! I will be with you always, yes, even until the end of the age.”
It is our command from Him. Our destiny. To become “talmidim” (disciples). Only, I don’t think we have ever been correctly taught how to do this. And really it can’t be that hard. After all, Yeshua the Rabbi gives us five books of instruction – The Torah!
We need to imitate Him
To learn to be a talmidim is to learn about Him. If we are to “imitate” Him, which is what a true disciple does. Then we must know “what” and “how” He did things. We must learn “His Doctrine”. And I believe that doctrine is the Torah.
I pray that as you go through this website that you prepare your heart. Maybe you will not agree with everything I am saying, but what is really important is for YOU to search the Scriptures. This is simply a beginning “step” for you and a small exposure of what the Master believed. May the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) be with you as you study His Word. May He reveal His Truth to you in a special way. Amen!
**Special thanks to my husband Tom who has really inspired me to write this simple and basic “manual”. He has spent hours upon hours studying with me. When we walk our dog in the evening we will discuss the Bible, the Torah and our Yeshua. Many times HaShem has given me special revelation through these discussions.
