and let’s
go back again to Deuteronomy.
Deuteronomy
6:16
16 You shall not tempt the LORD your God, as you tempted him in Massah.
17 You shall diligently keep the commandments of the LORD your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he has commanded you.
And
back to Luke
4:13
13 And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season.
14 And Yeshua returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about.
From the
scriptures that Yeshua was quoting, how would you assess his view about
Torah observance? Let’s look
at some of the basic teachings of Yeshua, and see what he had to say about
Torah observance.
Keep
The Commandments
Being an
observant Jew of his day was not just something that he did in action and
word, it also is what he taught others to do.
At one time, when he was asked about how to obtain eternal life, his
response was completely different than the one you would expect most
Christians, today, to give.
Matthew 19:16
16 ... Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?
17 ... if you will enter into life, keep the commandments.
