Yeshua’s Torah Readings for Shabbat (January 28 2017)

And Yeshua came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and went into the synagogue on Shabbat, as was his custom . (Luke 4:16-17) Long before Yeshua was born until today, Jewish people have and continue to gather in synagogues and hear the words of their Scriptures read by members who are chosen to do the readings at each service. The portions to be read are determined by schedule in which the entire Torah ( Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers & Deuteronomy ) is read in either a one year or three year cycle. Over the years there have been a number of differing versions of scheduled readings, as there continue to be today among Jewish groups.

January 21 2017 Shabbat Torah Readings of Yeshua

“And as Yeshua's custom was, he went into the synagogue on the Shabbat, and stood up to read.” (Luke 4:16) Shabbat begins at sundown on Friday and ends at sundown on Saturday. If you had been traveling with Yeshua, every Shabbat you would have gone to a synagogue and listened to selected people read portions of the Torah ( Genesis through Deuteronomy ), followed by the Haftarah . After the readings, discussions and prayers would have followed. When the Apostles met to discuss the requirements for Gentiles to become members of the Yeshua Movement, they agreed on minimal requirements because the new members would be going to synagogues every Shabbat: For Moses has had throughout many generations those who preach him in every city, being read in the synagogues every Shabbat. (Acts 15:21) Click here for this week’s Torah Readings .

Why call him Yeshua instead of Jesus?

Today, we are awash in a sea of theologies, mythologies, belief systems, allegations, accusations, traditions and endless personal opinions about Jesus :  what he is/was, who he thought he was, his mission, who his followers believed he was, why he is relevant or irrelevant to life today, etc. At the extreme edges of the conflicts produced by those questions are groups with beliefs like these: (1)  People who are absolutely sure that Jesus is the one and only God, the Creator of the universe and the words of their Bibles are the inerrant and infallible truths. (2)  People who are absolutely sure the Jesus never existed and the words of the Bible are pure fiction. Go to complete article at http://www.biblicalheritage.org/why-yeshua.html
