The Shema: Deuteronomy 6:4-5
- We heard an audio clip of the Hebrew being read for Deut 6:4
- This is called 'The Shema’
- It is a major verse in Deuteronomy frequently used by Jewish worshipers today!
- Jesus quotes this in Mark 12:29-30 & Matthew 22:37 & Luke 10:27!
- - It is also known as The Greatest Commandment
- Some key parts:
- - Shema: "Hear, O Israel:" Meaning both ‘Hear & Obey’
- - Elohim: "The LORD our God/Elohim" Literally this word means 'gods', a plural word!
- - - This could be for two reasons; sometimes a plural word would be used to recognize the majesty & greatness of the one being referred to.
- - - Some also think it could be a hint or foreshadowing of the Trinity (God the Father, Son, & Holy Spirit--three persons of our one God)!
- - The LORD is One: This truth is vital for Old Testament & New Testament! Especially after referring to God as 'Elohim,' it is emphasized that there is only one God.
- - Heart, Soul, & Might: This means we are to love God with all of who we are!
The Shema: Deuteronomy 6:6-9
- These verses explain what Israel is to do w/the words of Deuteronomy (those just said & those to come)
- They are to...
- - Keep them on their heart
- - Diligently teach to sons
- - Frequently talk of them
- - Bind them on hands & forehead (These are called ‘phylacteries’)
- - Write them on doorposts & gates (These are called ‘mezuzahs’)
- The 'Big Idea’ God wants to communicate is that, concerning God's Word:
- - It should be in our heart & thoughts
- - It should be seen through our actions
- - We should put reminders of it all around us
