Foundations with Mandy and Robbo

Jewish history and culture is confusing to most in the west, and that’s primarily because an eastern mindset is foreign to us. It’s weird, but in our program today we’ll be looking at a different definition of weird and it’s based on western ideology.

For many Christians, reading the Old Covenant rules and regulations is very confusing, and often times seems like foolishness. Everything however was for good reason, and today we’ll be looking at the prohibition of mixing wool with linen.

An ancient Jewish practice of rabbis was to look for commonalities or connections between passages when a word or phrase was repeated. In this way, they’d be able to connect those words or events, and deepen the meaning and richness of God’s Word, revealing multi-levels of understanding. This process is termed ’stringing pearls’ and that’s what we’ll be looking at on Foundations.

In today’s program, we’ll spend some time in Isaiah 53, a chapter that describes great suffering and sorrow by the person we know as Messiah. Why did He suffer and who did He suffer for?and who was He? That’s what we’ll try to determine today on Foundations.

We finish our time together on Foundations learning about the tassels worn by Jewish men. The symbolism is rich and significant, but now we learn what it means for us who believe in Jesus. Are they for us or not?

On Foundations today we’re continuing our look at the wearing of tassels on the garments of all Jewish men, and in particular the symbolism of authority associated with the hem of a man’s garment. A garment that even Jesus wore.

There are a lot of laws in the Old Covenant that seems strange to the modern, western mind, one of those laws is the requiring of Jewish men to wear tassels on the corners of the garments. In fact, religious Jews wear them to this day. What do they mean? That’s what we’ll begin learning about today on Foundations.

Today Foundations looks at how Jesus used an unclean item in one of His parables, an unclean item He declared priceless.

God often declared certain things to be unclean, and yet, a simple sprinkling of blood or the ashes of a sacrifice could transform the unclean thing into something clean and acceptable. How can that be? That’s the focus on Foundations.

The Apostle Paul taught us to pray without ceasing, a difficult and high calling to be sure. While we might look negatively upon Jewish traditions, they have developed the habit of praying to God in all situations throughout their day, no matter how mundane. It’s a curious thought, but something we can learn from.
