  • The First Sheaf and the Empty Tomb

    The First Sheaf and the Empty Tomb
    2024/04/20
    The First Sheaf and the Empty Tomb Welcome to the teaching from Founded in Truth Fellowship, delivered by Matthew Vander Els. Today we delve into the profound significance of Yom HaBikrim, the Feast of First Fruits. This seemingly minor festival emerges as a theological keystone, intimately connected to the resurrection of Yeshua (Jesus) and our understanding of new creation. The Overlooked Festival While Passover and Shavuot command the spotlight with their dramatic narratives of liberation and divine empowerment, Yom HaBikrim quietly marks a pivotal moment in the biblical calendar. In Leviticus 23, the command to present the first sheaf of barley before the Lord symbolizes the promise and sanctity of the entire harvest to come. The Hebrew word reshit, meaning "the first" or "beginning," connects this ritual to Genesis, where creation itself was initiated (Genesis 1:1). This sermon emphasizes the alignment between the act of presenting the first sheaf and Yeshua's resurrection. Both signify the onset of a new creation, bridging the old world and the world to come, and setting a pattern for God's promise to renew all creation. Resurrection: The Promise of New Creation Yeshua’s resurrection, happening on the day of First Fruits, is not simply a display of divine power but a foretaste of the new creation, a down payment on the cosmic renewal that God is orchestrating. This reframes our worldview; rather than viewing resurrection solely as an escape, we see it as the beginning of the kingdom's work here on earth. The resurrection is not just about Him; it involves all of us. As Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 15, Yeshua is the "firstfruits" of those who have fallen asleep, indicating that His resurrection is the start of the final harvest when God’s kingdom will be fulfilled. Living in the Rhythm of Resurrection This teaching urges us to live as people who anticipate the full harvest. The resurrection life should permeate our daily actions, influencing how we love, forgive, and give. Our lives mirror the first sheaf, offered in trust that the full harvest of God’s kingdom is coming. Empathy for others, as discussed, is central to this new life. Recognizing that everyone has their own struggles helps us respond with grace rather than retaliation. The idea is to love and forgive as Yeshua did, transforming our relationships and communities. The rhythm of resurrection also involves our finances. Tithing the first of our income symbolizes trust in God's provision and participation in His kingdom work. This sacrificial giving aligns with the pattern of new creation, reinforcing our reliance on divine grace rather than self-sufficiency. The Image of a Gardener John’s Gospel places Yeshua's resurrection in a garden, drawing a literary and theological parallel to Eden. As the "last Adam" (1 Corinthians 15), Yeshua, the gardener, cultivates new life where the first Adam introduced death. This imagery signifies the reversal of the curse and the birth of a new Eden, where resurrection life continually grows. In this garden, Mary mistakes Yeshua for a gardener, which is theologically profound. It affirms His role in nurturing new creation, signifying a world that will be restored and renewed. The empty tomb signals the beginning of this process, as the gardener awakens to tend and transform the soil of creation. Practical Takeaways Live in anticipation of the full harvest: Let the hope of resurrection guide your actions and decisions.Embrace empathy and forgiveness: See others through the lens of grace, understanding, and love.Participate in creation's renewal: Engage in acts of service, love, and community building as signposts of the kingdom.Sacrificial giving: Trust in God's provision by offering your first fruits as an act of faith and alignment with His purposes.Resist conformity: Stand firm in your faith, resisting societal pressures that conflict with kingdom values. Conclusion The message concludes with a powerful call to align our lives with the rhythm of resurrection, living as those who have tasted new creation and are awaiting its full realization. It’s a call to be co-gardeners with Yeshua, participating in the great harvest that has begun and will culminate in the fulfillment of God’s promises.

  • Blood and Water: Echoes of Exodus in the New Testament

    Blood and Water: Echoes of Exodus in the New Testament
    2025/03/30
    Blood and Water: Echoes of Exodus in the New Testament Shabbat Shalom, everyone. As Passover approaches, it is a fitting time to reflect on its profound significance beyond the historical event. This message explores how the New Testament authors intricately weave the Passover narrative into their writings, revealing a greater story of redemption through Jesus, or Yeshua, as I prefer. Passover as a Narrative of Redemption The message begins with a focus on the Gospel of John, emphasizing how John carefully curated the stories in his gospel to convey a specific vision. His gospel presents Jesus as the climax of the biblical story, the one who brings about a new exodus, not just from Egypt but from sin, shame, death, and exile. This greater exodus is symbolized by Jesus as the true Passover lamb, whose blood transforms the heart. Biblical Motifs and Patterns The theme of water and new creation runs throughout the biblical narrative, from Genesis to Exodus and into the promised land. The speaker draws parallels between Genesis 1 and the Exodus story, where God separates chaos waters to bring forth dry land, signifying a new creation. These motifs continue as Israel crosses the Jordan River into the promised land, symbolizing God's rest and a new creation. The New Exodus in Prophecy and Gospel Accounts Prophets like Isaiah and Jeremiah spoke of a new exodus, a new creation that would transcend the liberation from Egypt and address humanity's enslavement to sin and death. This message is echoed in the gospels, particularly in the accounts of John the Baptist calling people out of spiritual bondage into the wilderness, where Israel first encountered God. Matthew and John emphasize Jesus as the fulfillment of this new exodus. Jesus: The New Moses Matthew's gospel draws parallels between Jesus and Moses, highlighting how Jesus' life mirrors Moses' in significant ways. Just as Moses brought the Ten Commandments from Mount Sinai, Jesus delivers the Sermon on the Mount, revealing God's heart for humanity. These connections emphasize Jesus as the new Moses, leading a new exodus. John's Passover Imagery John's gospel is saturated with Passover imagery. It begins with a creation story, not of old creation but a new creation through Jesus. John the Baptist identifies Jesus as the Lamb of God, emphasizing Jesus' role in a new exodus. The signs in John's gospel mirror the plagues of Egypt, yet they transform death into life-giving acts. The Culmination: Crucifixion and New Creation John's account of Jesus' crucifixion is filled with Passover symbolism. Jesus' bones remain unbroken, fulfilling the Passover lamb requirements. Blood and water flow from Jesus' side, echoing Zechariah's prophecy of cleansing and grace flowing from God's throne. This imagery signifies the opening of a new creation where the constraints of old creation are lifted. The Resurrection: The Dawn of a New Creation In John 20, the resurrection scene parallels the Genesis garden, with Mary Magdalene mistaking Jesus for a gardener. This reinforces the theme of a new creation, where Jesus, the new gardener, tends to a renewed humanity. Jesus breathes on the disciples, an act reminiscent of God breathing life into Adam, symbolizing a new beginning. Living Out the New Exodus As followers of Jesus, we are invited to participate in this new creation. The message concludes with a call to let go of chains that bind us, allowing the Holy Spirit to empower us to walk in freedom. Passover is not just a historical event but a present reality, a story of liberation from sin and death, urging us to live out the kingdom ethic. Takeaways and Life Applications Recognize Jesus as the culmination of the Passover story, leading a new exodus from sin and death.Embrace the motifs and patterns in Scripture that point to a new creation through Jesus.Reflect on the parallels between Moses and Jesus, understanding Jesus as the new Moses.Allow the themes of cleansing and new creation to transform how you live out your faith.Let go of anything hindering you from experiencing the freedom and life Jesus offers.

  • Blood and Water: Echoes of Exodus in the New Testament

    Blood and Water: Echoes of Exodus in the New Testament
    2025/03/30
    Blood and Water: Echoes of Exodus in the New Testament In this teaching from Founded in Truth Fellowship, the speaker relates the narrative of Passover, not merely as a historical event, but as a profound biblical motif that finds its culmination in the New Testament. This message, inspired by Matthew Vander Els, dives into how the Exodus story and its themes reverberate through the scriptures, ultimately pointing to Jesus (Yeshua) as the one who completes and transforms the narrative of liberation and creation. The Story of Passover Beyond History The teaching opens with a discussion on John's Gospel, highlighting how the authors of the New Testament were intentional in crafting their narratives to reveal deeper truths. John's account is particularly noted for its selective inclusion of stories, aiming to present Jesus as the climax of the biblical narrative. This underscores that the Bible isn't just a collection of historical events but a cohesive story about God's rescue mission through Jesus. The Motif of Water and New Creation Drawing parallels from Genesis to Exodus, the speaker explores the recurring motif of water and dry land as symbols of new creation and liberation. The Exodus story, particularly the crossing of the Red Sea (Exodus 14), is paralleled with the creation account in Genesis, where God brings forth life from the chaos of waters. This pattern continues with the Israelites crossing the Jordan River into the Promised Land, symbolizing God's rest and new creation for His people. Israel's Downfall and the Promise of a New Exodus The narrative of Israel's journey into Canaan and their eventual downfall is examined through the lens of the kingship of Solomon, who epitomized a drift from God's intentions. The speaker emphasizes how Israel, once liberated, began to emulate oppressive empires, leading to their exile. However, the prophets foresaw a new Exodus, one that would transcend physical liberation and bring spiritual renewal through a new creation. John the Baptist and the New Exodus The teaching delves into the role of John the Baptist, who, in the wilderness, heralded the coming of this new Exodus. All four gospel accounts draw from Isaiah's imagery of the wilderness as a place of transformation, inviting people to prepare for the Lord's coming and the new creation He brings. John is depicted as a voice calling people out of bondage into a transformative encounter with God. Yeshua as the Fulfillment of the Exodus The narratives of Matthew and John are highlighted for their emphasis on Jesus as the fulfillment of the Exodus. Matthew parallels Yeshua's life with Moses, drawing connections between their childhoods and missions. John, on the other hand, uses Passover imagery to present Yeshua as the Lamb of God, the ultimate liberator who takes away the sins of the world. The speaker notes John's unique portrayal of Yeshua's crucifixion as the ultimate Passover sacrifice, highlighting His role in initiating a new creation. The New Creation Reality The narrative reaches its crescendo with Yeshua's resurrection, depicted as the inauguration of new creation. His appearance to Mary Magdalene in the garden symbolizes the reopening of Eden, a return to the intended communion between God and humanity. The teaching underscores the transformative power of Yeshua's resurrection, inviting believers to embrace the new creation reality and let go of their chains of sin and death. Takeaways and Life Applications Recognize the Bible as a unified story, with the Exodus motif pointing to liberation and new creation through Yeshua.Understand the deeper themes in biblical narratives, such as water and new creation, and their significance in God's rescue mission.Reflect on the parallels between old and new Exodus stories, seeing Yeshua as the fulfillment of these motifs.Embrace the new creation reality, letting go of sin and embracing the freedom that Yeshua provides.Prepare for the season of Passover and Unleavened Bread by meditating on Yeshua's transformative work.Engage with the teachings of the prophets and the New Testament authors to fully appreciate the narrative of liberation and renewal.
