Paul's image of the olive tree is a picture of dependence. Branches do not sustain the root; the root sustains the branches.
At Yeshua Roots, we understand union with Yeshua and the indwelling Ruach HaKodesh as participation in Israel's spiritual inheritance. We distinguish this spiritual covenantal identity from ethnic ancestry.
Paul's warning against boasting matters just as much as his invitation to belonging. The right response to grace is humility, gratitude, and faithfulness.
Our desire is to be a community of learners who treasure the Jewish roots of the faith and honor one another.
