Sukkot and the Secret of Happiness

Sukkot and the Secret of Happiness
“If you’re not happy with what you have, you’ll never be happy with what you get!”

We all want happiness, but often make the mistake of confusing happiness with success. Success is getting what you want; happiness is wanting what you get. As the Sages taught, Who is rich? The one who is happy with his lot (Avot 4:1). Happiness is not something that happens to us. It’s a decision we must make, and we can each be as happy as we decide to be.
Since our mandate on Sukkot is to be “completely joyous,” we are obliged to make that decision, which requires us to take a view on one of life’s great paradoxes: On the one hand, whoever you are, by virtue of being alive, your cup truly does “runneth over.” But on the other hand, you could always have a bigger cup. Choose to take pleasure in what you do have, and — voilà! — you’ve stumbled onto the secret of happiness. Choose instead to focus on the pursuit of a bigger cup, and you are forever left wanting.

"I don't cry for things that won't cry for me!"

In Jewish tradition, there’s a saying that during our lifetimes we have three main friends — and when  we die, they leave us in exactly the reverse order in which we treated them. No sooner does our soul leave our body, than all of our wealth flees with it as well. Families are more faithful. They walk with us after our passing to the cemetery, our final resting place. Then, they too leave us to go on with their lives. It is only our name, the good deeds we performed for others, and the influence we may have had upon them, that outlive us and offer us a share of immortality.
Strange then, isn’t it, that we spend most of our lives chasing after money, spending far less of our time than we should with our families, and spending so little of our efforts to accomplish those things by which we will be remembered!

Why should we study our Hebraic Roots?

Having a comprehensive understanding ofthe Hebraic Roots of our faith is critical for Believers to have a mature and sound spiritual life. We have looked at the ancestral fathers of the faith We have considered Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and other key figures in the history of Israel. We know that each considered themselves a Hebrew. Their lives and experiences speak much to our spiritual condition today. 

We have just discovered how critical it is to recognize the Hebrew language and thenuances of studying it, since it is the language of the Tanach (Old Testament.

We have found out that the Messiah Yeshua was raised in a Torah observant environment, and obviously was Torah obedient without fault in order to become the blameless sacrifice for the sins of mankind.

We found out that the Apostles were also Torah observant, and that their writings reflect their obedience to the Torah within the First Century Judaism in which they were a part.

Now we look forward to delving deeper into understanding additional aspects of the Hebraic Roots of our faith. What aspects of your faith in Yeshua will be enlightened to perspectives that you have possibly not considered?

What aspects of your present belief system will be challenged? Are you eager to learn more and submit yourself to the authority of God's Word?

Unleaven Bread

The Meaning of Unleavened Bread

In Scripture matzah is sometimes called "the bread of affliction" (Deut 16:3). However, it is not "of affliction" because it is unleavened but it is unleavened because it had been born out of affliction. In other words, since the Jews had no time to prepare their bread on account of their affliction, the bread had no time to rise. The matzah, then, is not so much the remembrance of bondage as of the deliverance from bondage, and that which had originally been of affliction now became, on account of God's deliverance, the token of freedom...

Matzah also represents purity, since chametz is a metaphor of sin. None of Egypt's leaven was to pervade it; all the old leaven was to be entirely purged from their homes and lives. Chag HaMatzot, then, both memorializes Israel's deliverance from a life of slavery under Pharaoh after the sacrifice of the Passover lamb, but it also represents the Christian's deliverance from a life of sin under Satan after the sacrifice of Yeshua the Mashiach, the "Lamb of God." The prophetic and symbolic lesson of ridding your life of the leaven of Egypt is that you get rid of sin and replace it with purity and humility. Upon redemption, we are to become a sanctified, "unleavened people."

In 1 Corinthians 5:6 we read: "Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leavens the whole lump?" Sin has a "leavening" influence upon the soul: you simply cannot include a little sin in your life without it affecting your whole spiritual life. Hidden sin (i.e., hypocrisy) spreads like spiritual corruption throughout the body and will eventually be exposed. As Jesus has said, "Nothing is hidden that will not be made manifest, nor is anything secret that will not be known and come to light" (Luke 8:17).

Cleanse out the old leaven that you may be a new lump, as you really are unleavened. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed. Let us therefore celebrate the festival, not with the old leaven, the leaven of malice and evil, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. (1 Cor. 5:7-8) 
Here the apostle Paul enjoins you to undergo your own inward bedikat chametz and become a "new lump" - that is, a new substance that is untainted by the sour and rotting influences of your past life. Since the Mashiach has been sacrificed as your Passover Lamb, you are a new creation, made "unleavened" by the power of the Holy Spirit. Therefore put away from you the old nature - the yetser ha'ra - and purge from you the old leaven of Egypt that inwardly cankers you and makes you sick. Walk without hypocrisy in the truth of the love of God for your soul. Amen.
