Watch our April 3, 2022 Worship service, sermon by Tom Cantor (Micah 6)

Watch our April 3, 2022 Worship service. It includes singing, announcements, special music “Ten Thousand Angels“ sung a cappella by Martha, and a sermon by Tom Cantor from Micah 6.

Tom titled his sermon from Micah 6 “O My People Remember.” Tom noted that the chapter started with the The word “Hear” (Shema in Hebrew). He went to Isaiah 53:3 the point of the sufferings of Jesus. Next, he showed how this was done to make one flock of all believers (John 10). He concluded this section with Hebrews 4:15 emphasizing how the Lord Jesus identified with our sufferings. He drew from the prophet Hosea to show how the Lord God is faithful to Israel even when they are unfaithful. In teaching from Micah 6, he noted the importance of Moses, Aaron, and Miriam to Israel. Another one of the points he made was that with Balaam, “God turns a curse into a blessing.”

The hymns for this worship/communion service included “When I See the Blood” (269), “Nailed Upon Golgotha’s Tree” (191), and the closing hymn “Once More Around Thy Table, Lord (850). Numbers are from the Friendship with God Hymnal. This is the hymnal we use. We have a free copies at Mission Valley Community Chapel.

In the sermon, Tom noted “there is a beginning and a completion.” Genesis tells us the beginning and revelation the completion. This chapter from the book of Micah focuses on the completion. He spoke of all the mountains in the world and how the Lord chose Jerusalem to be his mountain (Micah 4:2). He compared the Lord choosing this mountain to his choosing David over all of his bigger brothers. He also noted how the Lord called himself the God of Jacob, not identifying himself here with a more famous saint or even Jacob by his exalted name – Israel. Tom noted how the Lord in the last days will bring the nations against Israel, but when Israel turns to him, he would save them. He referenced the later chapters in book of Zechariah (Zechariah 12–13). Finally, Tom emphasize the importance of Jewish evangelism and the call to pray for the peace of Jerusalem (Psalm 122:6).

Read “Is the Jewish Messiah God as a man?” by Tom Cantor

Read 2. Is the Jewish Messiah God as a man? in Tom Cantor’s short evangelistic book “Frequently Asked Questions By Jewish People.”

In the previous section, Tom discussed the Trinity and the Old Testament. Here he discusses the Lord Jesus Christ as both God and man. He appeals to the prophets Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Micah and the apostle John.

Again, understanding this is not only important in Jewish evangelism, but also in reaching Muslims, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Mormon, or anyone else who would have this type of question.

Also, this is a good way for us to better understanding the Bible and our own beliefs. Christian apologetics (reasons to believe) is a way of thinking carefully of the truths about God at a basic level to reach unbelievers with the good news of the Lord Jesus Christ.

2.  Is the Jewish Messiah God as a man?

The common Jewish mind set is that the Messiah could never be God, because no man could ever become God. However, the Bible does not teach that man became God; on the contrary, it teaches that God became a man.

But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.” (Micah 5:2). The Jewish prophet, Micah prophesied that the Jewish Messiah would be born in Bethlehem. However, Messiah’s existence would not start at birth because He has no beginning; He is “from everlasting.” Eternality is an attribute that belongs only to God, and for Messiah to possess eternality would unquestionably show His deity. This prophecy was fulfilled when the eternal, divine Lord Jesus was born in Bethlehem.

“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” (Isaiah 9:6) The Jewish prophet, Isaiah also told of the Messiah. In this passage, a promise was given to Israel of a amazing child whose description was unparalleled by any other child ever born. He would be called Wonderful Counselor, The Prince of Peace, The Mighty God, and the Everlasting Father.

God the Son could be referred to as Mighty or Almighty or Everlasting, but why was He called the Father?  Each person in the Godhead is so one (echad) with the others the Messiah said concerning Himself, “he that hath seen me hath seen the Father.” (John 14:9). Though Elohim is three, He is still one.  For example, every person is made up of three parts: body, soul and spirit. No one ever asks a person if it is his body, spirit, or soul speaking; they are all one!

Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth. In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.” (Jeremiah 23:5-6) A third Jewish prophet who foretold of the Messiah was Jeremiah. This future descendant of David was described as the “Righteous Branch.”  His name would be called “THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.” Psalms 53:3 says that “there is none that doeth good, no, not one.”  Who, then, is this righteous Israelite, descendant of David, and One called Lord and God? Who is this One who is a King, a Judge, and the Savior of the Jews? It can be none other than the Messiah, the Lord Jesus Christ.

All of these Scriptures teach us clearly that the Messiah is the Son of God or God the Son. As the second person in the Godhead, the Messiah is worthy of our worship.
