As Yahuah explains to Moshe, Avraham, Yetzok, and Ya’akov, knew him as El Shaddi, but He wanted them to know Him as Yahuah. Apparently, this was a requirement to being set free from the bondage of the world (Egypt). Rav Sha’ul (teacher Paul) reminds us in 1 Corinthians that those living at the end of day are to use the people of the Exodus generation as examples of how we should live. We, too, should know God as more than the provider God but as one able to take us through all things. Our trust should be completely in Him and not in man or the world or our family or job or church or bank account.
This idea from this week’s Torah Portion is found in our lesson in Matthew chapter 12. Join us as we continue to look into the parables and instruction contained in Matthew chapters 12 and 13, picking up the account in 12:33 as Y’shua heals a man blind and dumb in the very House of God on the Sabbath, and the Pharisees reaction to this good work.
