Leviticus 14 : 1 – 15 : 33

Purification of One with Tza’arat

14 Then Adonai spoke to Moses, saying: 2 “This is the Torah of the one with tza’arat in the day of his cleansing. He should be brought to the kohen, [a] 3 and the kohen is to go to the outside of the camp. The kohen is to examine him, and behold, if the mark of tza’arat is healed in one with tza’arat, 4 then the kohen is to command that two clean living birds, cedar wood, scarlet and hyssop be brought for the one being cleansed. 5 The kohen should command them to kill one of the birds in a clay pot over living water. 6 As for the living bird, he is to take it, the cedar wood, the scarlet and the hyssop, and dip them with the living bird into the blood of the bird that was killed over the living water. 7 He is to sprinkle on the one being cleansed from the tza’arat seven times and pronounce him clean, then release the living bird over the open field.

8 “The one to be cleansed must wash his clothes, shave off all his hair, and bathe himself in water. Then he should be clean. After that he may come into the camp, but is to dwell outside his tent for seven days. 9 Then on the seventh day, he is to shave all his hair from his head, his beard, and his eyebrows—he must shave off all his hair. He is to wash his clothes, and bathe his body in water. Then he will be clean.

Haftarah Reading

2 Kings 7 : 3 - 20

3 Now there were four men with tza’arat at the entrance of the gate; and they said to one another, “Why should we sit here till we die? 4 If we say: ‘Let’s go into the city,’ then the famine is in the city, so we will die there; but if we sit still here, we’ll die also. So come, let’s go into the camp of the Arameans. If they spare us, we’ll live; and if they kill us, we’ll just die.”

5 So they got up at twilight to go to the camp of the Arameans. But when they arrived at the edge of the Aramean camp, behold, no one was there! 6 For Adonai had caused the army of the Arameans to hear a noise of chariots and a noise of horses—indeed a noise of a huge army. So they said one to another, “Look, the king of Israel has hired against us the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of the Egyptians to assault us.” 7 So they got up and fled at twilight, abandoning their tents, their horses and their donkeys—the entire camp just as it was—and fled for their lives.

8 When these men with tza’arat came to the edge of the camp, they entered into one tent, ate and drank, and took from there silver, gold, and clothes, then went and hid them. Then they returned and went into another tent, and took from there too, and went and hid them. 9 Then they said to each other, “It’s not right, what we’re doing. This day is a day of good news, and we’re keeping silent! If we wait till the morning light, punishment will overtake us. Let’s go now and report to the king’s household.”

10 So they came and called out to the city gatekeepers, and told them, “We went to the camp of the Arameans, and look, there was not a single soul there, no human voice—just the horses and the donkeys tied up, and the tents just as they were.” 11 Then the gatekeepers called out, and it was reported to the royal palace inside.

12 When the king got up in the night, he said to his courtiers, “Let me tell you now what the Arameans have contrived against us. They know that we are hungry, so they went out of the camp to hide themselves in the field, thinking, ‘When they come out of the city, we’ll capture them alive and get into the city.’”

Matthew 8 : 1 – 17

Healing Those who Trust

8 When He came down from the mountain, large crowds followed Him. 2 And a man with tzara’at came to Him and bowed down before Him, saying, “Master, if You are willing, You can make me clean.”

3 Yeshua stretched out His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing. Be cleansed.” Immediately his tzara’at was cleansed. 4 And Yeshua said to him, “See that you tell no one; but go show yourself to the kohen and offer the gift that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.”[a]

5 Now when Yeshua came into Capernaum, a centurion came begging for help. 6 “Master,” he said, “my servant is lying at home paralyzed, horribly tormented.”

7 Yeshua said to him, “I’ll come and heal him.”

8 But the centurion said, “Master, I’m not worthy to have You come under my roof. But just say the word and my servant will be healed. 9 For I also am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I say to this one, ‘Go!’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come!’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this!’ and he does it.”

10 Now when Yeshua heard this, He marveled and said to those who were following, “Amen, I tell you, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith!

Mark 1 : 35 – 45

35 Very early, while it was still night, Yeshua got up, left, and went away to a place in the wilderness; and there He was praying. 36 Then Simon and those with him hunted for Yeshua. 37 And when they found Him, they said to Him, “Everybody’s looking for You.”

38 He said to them, “Let’s go somewhere else, to the neighboring towns, so that I may proclaim the message there also—this is what I came for.” 39 And He went throughout all the Galilee, proclaiming the message in their synagogues and driving out demons.

40 A man with tzara’at comes to Him, begging Him and falling on his knees, saying, “If You are willing, You can make me clean.”

41 Moved with compassion, Yeshua stretched out His hand and touched him. He said, “I am willing. Be cleansed.” 42 Immediately, the tzara’at left him, and he was cleansed.

43 Yeshua sent him away at once, sternly warning him. 44 He said to him, “See that you say nothing to anyone, but go show yourself to the kohen.[a] Then, for your cleansing, offer what Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.” 45 But he went out and began to proclaim and spread the word, so much that Yeshua could no longer enter a town openly but had to stay out in wilderness areas. Still, they kept on coming to Him from everywhere.

Back to our Roots

The "Back to our Roots" movement in Christianity emphasizes the vital importance of understanding and embracing the Hebrew or Jewish roots of the Christian faith. This movement is not merely about historical curiosity; it's about reclaiming a spiritual heritage that is integral to the Christian identity. Many modern Christians, unaware of this rich heritage, miss out on the profound depth and fullness that comes from understanding the Jewish origins of their faith.

Just as an individual's identity is deeply connected to their familial heritage, so too is a Christian's spiritual identity intertwined with the Jewish roots of their faith. Knowing one's earthly father but being ignorant of his heritage is akin to understanding Jesus Christ without recognizing His Jewish context. This heritage is not just a backdrop but a foundational aspect of who He is and, by extension, who we are as His followers. Our spiritual inheritance, therefore, must be fully embraced to realize its value in our lives. Our experiences shape us, but our heritage defines us.

Apostle Paul's teachings in Ephesians 2 are pivotal in this understanding. He urges believers to remember their roots and the transformation brought about by Christ. This remembrance is crucial because it's easy to forget the profound implications of the restoration of the covenant. Paul reminds us that Gentile believers, once alienated from the covenants of Israel, have been brought near through Christ. This nearness is not merely a change of status; it's a breaking down of the barriers that once separated Jews and Gentiles, creating one unified body in Christ.

Understanding the covenant is essential for the Church because it is where God chooses to dwell. As Paul states in Ephesians 2:22, believers are being built together into a dwelling place for God's Spirit. This unity of Jews and Gentiles, each bringing their unique covenantal insights, forms a strong, unbreakable bond. The Jewish people, entrusted with the ancient covenants and promises, and the Gentile believers, recipients of the grace of the New Covenant, together create a completeness in the Body of Christ.

The scriptures speak of a double portion of blessing for the Jewish people (Isaiah 40:2), and the Gentiles have been graciously grafted into this rich heritage. This unity creates a powerful synergy, a threefold cord that is not easily broken. It's a testament to the strength that comes from the unity of the first and second covenants.

Furthermore, the unity between Jews and Gentiles in the Body of Christ is expected to give rise to miraculous signs and wonders, showcasing the power and wisdom of God. This union is a tangible manifestation of God's faithfulness to His covenants with both Jews and Gentiles. It's a living demonstration that God's promises remain unbroken and that His plan encompasses all of humanity.

In conclusion, the "Back to our Roots" movement is a call to rediscover and reclaim the Jewish heritage of the Christian faith. It's about understanding the fullness of our identity in Christ and the richness of the spiritual inheritance that comes from our Jewish roots. This journey of rediscovery is not just about looking back to the past but about bringing its wisdom and richness into the present, thereby enriching and empowering the Church's future. It's a journey towards a deeper understanding, a more profound faith, and a stronger, more unified Body of Christ.
