The Word Is Grace

"The Word Is Grace" is brought to you by The Carpenter's Shop, located at 1201 East Elmore Street in Crawfordsville, Indiana. Our Sabbath services begin at 3:30 every Saturday afternoon. Listen with us as Bible teachers Jim Denman and Tim Terry examine our faith in Messiah Yeshua (Christ Jesus), with a Hebraic perspective. What did Jesus eat? How did He dress? Is the Torah still valid to believers today? Did He really say that there are only two laws that we have to follow now? Did God change His requirements for salvation after the cross? Is the Sabbath on Sunday or Saturday; was it changed? Join us as we seek answers to these questions, with balance and a humble reverence for God's Word.

"Sir, I perceive you to be a prophet." John 4:1-42

Have you ever heard it said that Jesus never actually claimed to be the Messiah? The next time you hear this brought up by a skeptic, you should point them to the fourth chapter of John. The woman at the well tells Yeshua (Jesus) that “When the Messiah comes, he will tell us all things” to which He replies, “The one with whom you are speaking, I AM HE.”
In Hebrew, living water is “mayim chaiyim.” Every time a person went through a mikva (baptism), it had to be done in mayim chaiyim. Living Water is associated with purity; it was required when a person wanted to be made ceremonially clean for Temple worship.
Knowing that this woman had had five different husbands, and was living in an adulterous relationship, Yeshua's words would have carried a lot more weight than we are aware of. He was telling her that not only would she never thirst again, but she would have the cleansing, living water within her – never to thirst again. She would be satisfied, by an internal spring, welling up mayim chaiyim.
Are you searching for satisfaction in this life? Are you going form spring to spring, or from thing to thing looking for fulfillment? You are not going to find it in the things of this world ...you must go to the the man who claimed to be the Messiah while talking to a lowly Samaritan woman at Jacob's well.

Here at the Carpenter's Shop, we believe Yeshua when He states in Matthew 5:17 "Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill." We have come to know that our Messiah, Yeshua (Jesus), was a Torah observant, Jewish Rabbi who will one day return to reign from David's throne in Jerusalem. We believe that we are saved by the redemptive work that Yeshua accomplished on the cross; we are saved by the grace of God (Hashem), not by observing Torah. We observe Torah because we are saved, out of obedience to God's Word.
