The Path of Teshuvá (Repentance)
The word Teshuvá has a much deeper meaning than "repentance." It means "return," a return to the covenant and to God's original purpose for His people. The Hebrew Bible is filled with calls for Israel to return to the Lord. The prophet Jeremiah speaks of a heart that God will give them so they may know Him and return to Him.
In the Messiah, Jesus, this promise is fulfilled. Jesus is the way to return to God. To Him was given the authority to forgive sins, purify the heart, and empower us to walk in newness of life. The Teshuvá in Christ is not a human effort to achieve forgiveness, but a response of faith to the gift of His grace. It is a daily return to Him, recognizing our need for a Savior.
Personal Application: Has your heart strayed from God? Today, return to Him. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. He invites you to return. There is no need for rituals, only a sincere and contrite heart.
Call to Intercession: Pray that the Jewish people, in their search for a return to God, will recognize in Jesus the way and the door to true communion with the Father. May the Holy Spirit convince them that the only way back home is through the Messiah, their Lord.
