**Please see updated transcript, as some verses are misquoted in Episode 30** 

If there is one thing I am continuing to learn as I study Scripture, it is just how much harmony is between the “Old” Testament and the “New” Testament. I really don’t like using those words, “old” and “new,” because the truth is, is that labeling certain sections of the Bible as “Old Testament” and “New Testament” is a result of manmade title pages inserted into our Bible today to subtly divide the two, when that should have never been the case. 

We should not have this perception of “old” and “new” when it comes to Scripture today. 

In fact, the New Testament really doesn’t teach anything “new.” It confirms, strengthens, magnifies, and renews what has already been established. We have a “renewed” (i.e. new) covenant that was brought forth through our Messiah, but without understanding what it means to be in covenant with the Most High in the first place, there is much that will go misunderstood, and it becomes easy for one to read the New Testament with an isolated understanding of Scripture as a whole. 

I am desperate to bring reconciliation to this issue, and it is for that reason that I want to take some time in today’s episode to discuss the harmony between the “Old Testament” and “New Testament.”

“I am the TRUE vine, and My Father is the Vinedresser.”
John 15:1

I believe that there is a grievous misunderstanding within the body at large about the reason our Messiah was sent here. Without this understanding, we can’t truly know what it means to ”abide” in Him the way He instructs His disciples to as we continue to read through that passage in John 15. This deserves our attention, because He warns us that if we don’t “abide” in Him, we will be likened to a branch that gets cut off and cast away. 

This is why we must understand how the branches were broken off to begin with. Broken branches in Scripture is symbolic to a broken covenant. Without this understanding, we cannot understand how the covenant was renewed through our Messiah. 

He didn’t replace His Father’s covenant—He renewed it. 

He came to atone for sin, yes, but the true gospel message is SO much deeper than that. He came to renew the covenant, in which He made a way for both natural and wild branches to be restored. This is why He says “I am the TRUE Vine” now. 

But out of all things, why would our Messiah use the imagery of a vine and a vineyard in His instructions and parables? 

Because He was/is teaching from the Scriptures. He is bringing to mind the prophecy that points us to Him. If you are wondering, “what prophecy?” then I encourage you to tap in to Episode 27. 

In order to understand the back of the Book, we have to have a foundation in the Tanakh—what people refer to as “Old” Testament. It is truly amazing how much Scripture can bring so much revelation and clarity to just one short verse in John 15:1.

What does it mean to have a “perfect” heart, when Scripture tells us that the heart is “deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked?” (Jeremiah 17:9)
How was David acknowledged for having a “perfect” heart, when he was guilty of sin?
These are some questions I want to spend some time with in Episode 22.
I also want to spend some time at the end of this episode to give you some updates on the future direction of this podcast.

Then one said to Him, “Master, are there few who are saved?”
And He said to them, “Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I say to you, will seek to enter and will not be able” (Luke 13:23-24).
What does it mean to “strive” to enter in through the narrow gate?
According to our Messiah’s words, striving and seeking are two very different things. Yahusha was not talking about those who aren’t seeking at all. He’s talking about the difference between those who are “striving” and those who are “seeking.”
This is worthy of some serious attention.
There is a word that I am constantly stirring over...it’s one that has created an inner turmoil for me that I know I need to continue to wrestle with and sit with. It’s a word that I cannot seem to shake:
“FEW.”
Many are called, FEW are chosen.
The path is narrow and FEW find it.
The harvest is plenty but the laborers are FEW.
Only a remnant is making it through the narrow gate that leads to life.
I want to share with you where my studies have led me in understanding what it means to truly STRIVE. I want to share with you why several Hebrew word studies have helped me better understand the call of Yahuah’s remnant—His covenant people. There have been many thoughts and several verses in Scripture that I’ve wrestled with over the last several months.
This wrestling for truth has afflicted me, disciplined me, humbled me and now I’m ready to strive with you over some hard, yet necessary truths.
