Where is the command in Torah to fast on Yom Kippur? I thought it only said that we are to afflict our souls.
Messianic Apologetics editor John McKee discusses the significance of the Fall High Holidays from Leviticus 23. What important lessons need to be seriously considered, as these appointed times are often associated with the return of Yeshua the Messiah?
The Day of Atonement for Messianic people can equally be a challenge, because of a possible emphasis on celebration at Yom Teruah/Rosh HaShanah, instead of a serious attitude and call to reflection from the sounding of the shofar. Many Messianic people likewise have difficulty reverently focusing on their relationship with the Lord, and in considering where they need to improve in their spiritual walk. For us, while recognizing that our ultimate forgiveness is indeed found in Yeshua, we still need to know that we are limited human beings with a fallen sin nature, and that we need the Lord to empower us for good works. We need to be reminded that without Him, we are nothing, and we need to intercede for the salvation of others.
