Jesus’s Yoke | Rabbis and Disciples Pt 8 | EP124

In the final episode of our series Rabbis and Disciples Pt 8: Jesus’s Yoke, Brad Gray helps us overcome the age-old problem of becoming too familiar with the Bible. When we’re too familiar with a passage of Scripture, we start believing we already know what it means. In doing so, we forget there’s so much more it has to teach us, and we rob it of its explosive power to transform our lives. Believing we already know what the Bible means is the fastest way to become resistant to its wisdom. This is why this episode tackles one of Jesus’s most well-known sayings. Because when you set Jesus’s words from Matthew 11:28-30 in their historical and cultural context, an entirely new and challenging picture emerges. As a Jewish Rabbi, Jesus frequently utilized a teaching technique called Remez, which means “hint.” His words in Matthew 11:28-30 are hinting at other passages of Scripture his audience would have been familiar with in order to make a new and powerful point. We’ll explore what’s behind hints like, “Come to me,” “I will give you rest,” and “my yoke.” Because once you understand these hints, you realize Jesus is making a bold and audacious claim. A claim no other rabbi ever made. It’s a claim that is deeply challenging and utterly compelling. In Rabbis and Disciples Pt. 8: Jesus’ Yoke, we’ll have to answer Jesus’s question: “Will you empty yourself of yourself and let me fill you up?” To view the Discussion Questions for this episode, please go here http://bit.ly/rabbisanddisciplespt8 Thanks for watching and hit that subscribe button!
