Week 7 in DTS

Week 7, and Jewish Roots of Christianity with our very own Hilary Lind!  We went through a brief, but detailed history of the Jewish people and everything God has brought them through.  We learned about the Torah, God’s law, we learned about their customs, their festivals and the covenants that God made with them. 

How does this apply to us?  Our entire faith in Christ is deeply rooted in Jewish history.  They are God’s people, to whom Jesus came to save.  But his sacrificial blood covers us Gentiles as well.  And when we believe in him, we are adopted into the family of God’s chosen people and the covenant He made with Abraham, Moses and David are our covenants to, and the promises to be with us for all eternity.  And, at least for me, that brings a sense of security to say the least.
