The S'mikhah (Authority) Of Jesus

Delivered By Chris Tankey on 21st July 2024. Jesus says "take my yoke upon you and learn of me" {Mat 11:29}. We know that means to understand and to submit to His teachings and example. But the "yoke of the Torah" also meant the specific teachings, interpretations and behaviours of each Rabbi. A few outstanding Rabbis had S'mikhah - the authority to make their own "yoke". Jesus' yoke - easier than strict yokes of most Rabbis of the day - is the only true and correct yoke. It is what we will be judged against.
