In this episode of Darkness & Light, Rabbi Steve Berkson continues in the Gospel of John, the twelfth chapter, where “certain Greeks” wanted to see Yeshua.
• Who were these “Greeks”? What did they want with Yeshua?
From this event, Rabbi Berkson makes the point that Messiah Yeshua was beginning to draw those of the nations (Gentiles) to Himself, fulfilling the purpose for which He was sent.
• In what way do we serve Messiah Yeshua, according to Him?
• Do you love your life in this world more than wholly following Yeshua?
Yeshua also said, “The ruler of this world shall be cast out.”
• Who is “the ruler of this world”?
• Who needs to be dethroned and cast out?
• If Yeshua is the Messiah, why did He have to die? Who is this “Son of Adam” Yeshua referred to Himself as?
• If one rejects Messiah Yeshua and does not receive His words, what will judge him/her on the last day? What are His words?
Then, Rabbi Steve takes us to the apostle Paul’s testimony of his journey from darkness into light in Acts chapter 26. In verse 18, Paul quotes the Prophet Isaiah in telling King Agrippa about the commission he has received from the master Yeshua. Rabbi Steve points out something exciting regarding Paul and something he said about works worthy of repentance.
Once again, Rabbi Steve Berkson delves deeper into scripture to uncover more dimensions of Darkness and Light.
