Episode 49: Repairing The World This Thanksgiving

We help Christians make sense of their roots so they can help the Jewish people make sense of Jesus.

On this episode of The Jewish Road Podcast:

This Thanksgiving week, there is much to be grateful for. As Jews, we are familiar with the concept of "Tikkun Olam" - translated from Hebrew as “Repair The World” - to remind us that though brokenness abides in our world, we've been invited to partner with God to help repair it.

We don't do this work alone. God's own acts of restoration have reverberated throughout history and continue to make their presence known today. As we look forward in anticipation of the return of Jesus, the ultimate recourse for our broken world is clear: He came once and will come again, restoring a world far better than its current state.

Far beyond humanitarian acts or green initiatives, we are called to bring a greater repair, one that brings salvation through the Messiah. We do not do this on our own: ultimately, it is only through Jesus that perfect order shall be restored in the world one day soon! 

What an incredible gift to offer thanks for this Thanksgiving week!  Don't miss a rare shorter conversation, and stay tuned until the end when we make some announcements about upcoming opportunities. Plus, in this podcast episode, we'll tell you why you shouldn't pray until after your Thanksgiving meal.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! May you have a wonderful day filled with love, food, family, friends...and plenty of hope for God's redeeming grace!
