I finally finished reading Our Father Abrahamthis weekend. I suppose it would be appropriate to relay what I learned for it. Not tonight, and probably not at one setting. This book did have a lot of info and perspective, but as I think about it, it has opened my mind up to considering different ways of seeing and understanding God, Jesus, and the Scripture. I find it amazing that as I contemplate the “Jewishness” of Jesus and the Scriptures, I cannot help but see a life in them I’ve never seen before. Bottom line, I have no choice but to go deeper into this direction. I feel like there is so much more to learn and be understood by understanding more the Hebriac perspective. One thing no one can refute, is the roots of the Christian faith is in the Hebrew culture, faith, and scriptures. Were it not for the covenant God entered into with Abraham, we would not have redemption, Jesus, and where would we be?
There will be more to follow, but it will probably more in-laced in everything else I write about.
It’s good to be back,
Jim
