Many Christians assume Jesus came to abolish the Torah, but the Gospels tell a very different story. Jesus taught from the Torah, lived according to the commandments, and revealed its deepest meaning through His life and ministry. When we recover the Jewish context of Jesus’ teachings, the Bible begins to feel more unified, vibrant, and connected than ever before.
Many Christians think of the Torah as outdated. But in Scripture, it’s God’s instruction for how to live in a relationship with Him. When we rediscover the Torah, we don’t move away from Jesus; we actually begin to understand Him more clearly. This is the foundation many believers are missing, and it changes everything.
