What would you say if someone asked you what was the Gospel? More than likely we'd say something like, "It is the 'good news' that Jesus Christ died for human sins and rose from the dead to offer eternal life to all who repent and believe." What would say if you're then asked what's the background behind the Gospel? Like me, before I got my masters in Bible History and delved into the Jewish roots of Christianity, we'd probably have no idea how to respond.

But, Jesus taught the Gospel. What did those Jews in His day hear when Jesus told them of the Gospel? What did they understand? Was it something brand new or was it something they understood?

In this lesson we will study the Sin Offering. Every Jew in Jesus' day knew what this offering was and what it did and what it did not do. Every Jew also knew about Yom Kippur as the day of atonement for their sin. The Sin Offering was a critical part of that day.

So, were their sins atoned for? Were they forgiven? On top of that are atonement and forgiveness the same? If Jews are forgiven of their sins on Yom Kippur, a feast of the Lord, why did Jesus have to come and offer His life so our sins are forgiven? He's the Lord. He gave the Jews the appointed time of Yom Kippur. So, if the offering on Yom Kippur took care of the sins of the Jews, then become a convert to Judism.

So much is not taught in the "church" today. The "church" has abandoned the historical context of the Bible and have separated itself from our Jewish roots. Few pastors know Greek or the Hebrew or the cultural aspects of Israel in Jesus' day. All they know is teaching from the New Testament without understanding that it is all Jewish and comes from the Jewish culture of Jesus' day and before and God's foundational books, the Torah.

So, come and join us to understand the Sin Offering. Come and join us and understand what God says sin is and isn't. Come and join us and understand that once the Temple was destroyed in 70 A.D. the Jewish people felt they were in deep trouble without the Temple and the rituals God and ordered and designed. It was as if no Temple then no Judaism. Come and join us and grasp the foundational concepts of the Gospel that only makes sense in the Jewish culture and it comes out of God's Torah, His instruction (not law), the first five books of the Bible. If you do not study Torah, the Bible in Jesus' day, you'll not have the understanding of the Gospel of the Kingdom. You'll not get it out of the New Testament. The New Testament comes out of the Old Testament. For Jesus the only Bible He had was the Old Testament, the Hebrew Scriptures with the Torah as the foundational books of God's word; the foundational books of the Gospel.
