Messiah in Life
Ki Tetze: Torah 49
Called to be a blessing. Abraham would not only be blessed of the Lord, but he would be a blessing to the nations. In Messiah, Jew and Gentile alike, as seed of Abraham, will also be a blessing. Yet, we cannot move or alter the safeguards set in place by the Lord. There is an ethical and spiritual lesson that we learn from two seemingly unrelated commands found in the Torah. How do these commands work together, and finally, what do they teach us today? Give a listen.
