This Week’s Torah Portion

Shalom, beloved ones! In this week’s Torah portion, “Yitro,” we witness the giving of the Ten Commandments at Mount Sinai. As we delve into Exodus 18:1-20:23, we see how Yeshua, our King, fulfills these commandments perfectly. He embodies the essence of each commandment, showing us the way to walk in righteousness and love. Through His life, death, and resurrection, Yeshua reconciles us to God, enabling us to live out these commandments in the power of His Spirit.

In the Haftarah reading from Isaiah 6:1-7:6, 9:5-6, we catch a glimpse of the majestic King Yeshua, seated on His throne, high and lifted up. Isaiah’s vision points to the ultimate reconciliation that Yeshua brings between God and humanity. Moving to the Gospel reading in Matthew 5:13-16, we see Yeshua as the Light of the world, calling us to shine brightly as citizens of His Kingdom. As we study these passages in their ancient Hebrew context, we uncover the beautiful tapestry of God’s covenants woven throughout Scripture, revealing Yeshua as the fulfillment of all God’s promises. Let us continue to seek Him diligently, allowing His Word to transform us into faithful citizens grafted into His Kingdom.
