Today, we return to Genesis.
The second Torah Cycle takes a look at the titles of Christ as found in the Torah. Of course that will keep us busy. Even in the first verses of the Bible, we see God moving. (We know how important Christ is to creation when John and Paul talk about Christ’s role in creation).
This section is B’resiheet: Gen. 1:1-6:8
Here are the titles of Messiah we’re exploring:
The Branch
The Word
The Light of the World
The Lord of the Sabbath
The Last Adam
The Son of Man
The Son of Perez
The Seed of the Woman
What richness there is here. I’ll add my comments after the discussion tonight.
This blog chronicles the questions, affirmations, and interesting happenings that arise from studying the Torah each week. I study with a group of very interesting folks at Mars Hill church in Grandville, MI. We read the materials from First Fruits of Zion (www.ffoz.org) and discuss together. This is my second year of exploring the Very Words of God in the Torah Cycle.
