This Week’s Torah Portion

In this week’s Torah portion “Vaera,” we see the unfolding of God’s plan to deliver His people from bondage in Egypt. As He reveals His name to Moses as “I am the Lord,” we catch a glimpse of His sovereign authority and kingship over all creation. Through the plagues and miracles, we witness how Yeshua, as the ultimate King, has the power to bring freedom and redemption to His people.

In the Haftarah reading from Ezekiel, we see the promise of restoration and redemption for God’s people, echoing the theme of deliverance found in the Torah portion. Yeshua, as the King of Kings, fulfills these promises by reconciling us to God through His sacrificial work on the cross. In the Gospel reading from John, we encounter Yeshua as the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world, demonstrating His role as the ultimate reconciler between God and humanity. As we delve deeper into these Scriptures, we are invited to see Yeshua woven throughout the tapestry of God’s Word, revealing His kingship and our identity as citizens grafted into His Kingdom through the covenants established with His people.
