Blessings
In the Gospel accounts we also see Yeshua saying various blessings especially over bread and wine. Do we know what Jesus would have said? Yes, we do. We have no reason to believe that Yeshua would have given a “new” or “different” blessing. Rather, his pattern was to follow the standard customs of the Jewish faith.
Luke 24:30
30 And it came to pass, as he sat and ate with them, he took the bread and blessed, and broke and gave it to them.
The blessing for the bread is:
Baruch ata Adonai Eloheynu Melech Ha olam
Ha Motzi Lechem min haAretz
Blessed are you, Adonai our God, king of the universe
Who brings forth bread from the earth.
The blessing for the wine is similar:
Baruch ata Adonai Eloheynu Melech Ha olam
Boree peri haga fen
Blessed are you, Adonai our God, king of the universe
Who creates the fruit of the vine.
So we have seen what Yeshua looked like and what he sounded like. But what were his actions? How did he live his life? Let’s begin by looking at his birth and childhood.
