We often read the Bible as it is some final document. As modern day Christians (or better, Disciple of Jesus), we forget that Jesus and the early Church did not have a “New Testament.” Their most important scripture was the Torah (or the first 5 books of the Bible).
“Their ears cannot hear, and their hearts cannot understand.”
Jesus the Messiah, Matt. 13:15
As Jesus the Messiah as the framework and worldview, the Torah takes on a new dimension that should be a required devotion for all Disciples of Jesus.
