1/15: Within Biblical theology, the teaching and practice of glorifying Yeshua (Jesus) is closely linked with glorifying God the Father. Let’s dive into this concept, while also examining the significant link between Yeshua and Moses in the Bible. #BibleStudy #MessianicJudaism

2/15: Yeshua consistently taught his followers to glorify God the Father. Yet, in passages like John 10:30 (‘I and the Father are one’) and John 14:9, he suggests that to know and honor him is to know and honor the Father. #BookofJohn

3/15: Shaul (Paul) and other New Testament writers also glorify Yeshua. In Philippians 2:9-11, for example, Shaul describes God exalting Yeshua and asserts that every knee should bow to him in ἐξομολογήσηται, lit. “confession of praise.” #PaulsLetters #NewTestament

4/15: In 1 Corinthians 8:6, Shaul declares that there is ‘one Lord, Yeshua HaMashiach, through whom are all things and through whom we exist,’ attributing a divine role and status to Yeshua. #1Corinthians #OneLordofAll

5/15: Colossians 1:15-20 presents Yeshua as ‘the image of the invisible God’ through whom all things were reconciled, elevating him to a central position in Biblical theology. #Colossians #ImageofGod

6/15: Hebrews 1:1-3 portrays Yeshua as the radiance of God’s glory and the exact imprint of His nature. Revelation 5:12-13 ascribes honor, glory, and blessing to both ‘him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb.’ #BookofHebrews #Revelation

7/15: These early Messianic Jewish writings not only revere Yeshua but place him centrally in their theology. By honoring and glorifying Yeshua, followers are also honoring and glorifying God the Father. #MessianicJewishWritings #RevereYeshua

8/15: This understanding is a key part of the doctrine of the Trinity (Tri-Unity). So, to glorify Yeshua is indeed to glorify the Father. #Trinity #BiblicalDoctrine

9/15: Another significant biblical connection is that between Yeshua and Moses. Deuteronomy 18:15, 18-19 foretells God raising a prophet like Moses, a prophecy many see as fulfilled in Yeshua. #BibleProphecy #ProphetLikeMoses

10/15: In Acts 3:22-23, Kefa (Peter) applies this prophecy from Deuteronomy to Yeshua, saying, ‘The Lord God will raise up for you a prophet like me from your brothers. You shall listen to him in whatever he tells you.’ #BookofActs #Peter

11/15: This establishes Yeshua as the promised prophet like Moses. To listen to Yeshua is to listen to the Father, and to disregard Yeshua’s teachings is to disregard God’s command. #MessianicProphecy #BiblicalDoctrine

12/15: These passages emphasize the profound significance of Yeshua’s teachings. According to them, those not listening will face serious consequences. They also reinforce the unity between Yeshua and God the Father. #BibleVerses #Unity

13/15: These notions tie into the understanding of Yeshua as a bridge between the Sinai and New Covenants. As the prophesied prophet like Moses, Yeshua fulfills God’s promises in the Torah and introduces the new covenant. #SinaiCovenant #NewCovenant

14/15: Understanding Yeshua as both the ‘Prophet like Moses’ and the Son of God who is one with the Father deepens our comprehension of the continuity between the Sinai and New Covenants, and the divine role of Yeshua in Messianic belief. #MessianicFaith

15/15: So much more could be said, but when we glorify Yeshua, we glorify the Father. In listening to Yeshua, we heed God’s command. These aspects of Biblical theology underline the central role of Yeshua in the relationship between believers and God. #BiblicalTheology
