On the day Yeshua rose from the dead, He appeared to two of his disciples but they didn't know it was Him. Blinded to His true identity, they expressed sadness because of failed expectations. Yeshua explained to them why He had to suffer and die according Moses and the prophets. This is a Jewish message about a Jewish Messiah who offered Himself as a sacrifice for His Jewish people! These two travelers were eyewitnesses to the suffering and resurrection of Yeshua and some of the first to preach the Gospel.

The Hope of Israel - Part 2
May 30, 2020 • Matt Rosenberg
Part 2 of the Hope of Israel: We continue to examine the harvest holiday, Shavuot. In Jewish tradition, Shavuot is the day that the Torah was given to Moses. In the New Testament, Shavuot is the giving of the Holy Spirit. Same day; and it’s no coincidence! Many see the birth of the church and Christianity in Acts 2, but what really happened according to the text? God made himself known as the hope of the Jewish people. It all took place in the Temple Courts in Jerusalem, spoken in Hebrew on the day of Shavuot, so that the Jewish people could invite the Gentiles into the family of God. It was God's plan to save the whole world, Jew and Gentile, because everyone belongs in the family of God!

In Jewish tradition, Shavuot is the day the Torah was given to Moses. In the New Testament, Shavuot is the giving of the Holy Spirit. Same day and no coincidence! While many believe Acts 2 is the birth of the Church the disciples understood that what happened to them there was equal in importance to what happened on Mt. Sinai. It was the empowerment by the Holy Spirit that gave them the revelation to preach the Gospel for the first time to Jewish people, in the Temple courts, in Jerusalem! Today, the Holy Spirit still empowers followers of Yeshua to turn from our sins, lead us to better living and save us from judgement.
The Ascension To Heaven

Yeshua had to ascend to heaven so He could take His place at the right hand of the Father. He went to prepare a place for us and send us send His Holy Spirit. What we learn from the Apostles is how to worship and wait on God which is exactly what we need to do during this pandemic.
