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.

"Moses wrote about ME" - John 5:31 - 6:14

Continuing His conversation with the Jews who accused Him of breaking Sabbath, Jesus says that though He doesn’t really need a witness, He has many. His good works were a witness, the Father was His witness, and John was a witness. In fact, His accusers were willing to rejoice in John’s light, but had refused the light of Messiah! Jesus startles the crowd, by saying that Moses, whom they all revered, actually wrote about Him. Considering His audience, imagine the weight of that statement; these men were seeking to kill Jesus on the basis that He had broken Torah, yet Jesus tells them that the one who wrote the Torah was actually writing about Him. He tells them, “…but if you do not believe his writings (Moses), how will you believe My words?”
Soon after this, Jesus performs an amazing miracle in Tiberias, and feeds 5,000 men (plus women and children) with just two tiny fish and 5 loaves of barley bread. We learn the Greek word for fish here means “relish” or very small, sardine-like fish. Barley bread was cheap bread; barley being a grain commonly used to feed the livestock. This story parallels Psalm 23, showing us that Jesus is indeed the Good Shepherd; making the people sit down in the grass (“sit” in Greek means to lie back, or lay down), and then restoring their souls, by feeding them to their full. The story almost begs the question, “How did He do that?” Did the bread just spring up from the baskets, or from His hands, or did He just keep breaking off pieces from a loaf that never shortened?

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.
