Meditation

Messiah… cleanses those who are most excluded from the activities of life and from the camp of Yisra’el, and he draws them near to God. The socially ostracized glory in the newness of life that Messiah brings. Yeshua’s deeds offer hope to the social outcasts among the people (Isaiah 35:5-6). The walking dead jump for life!
