TROY WALLACE
Each year as the month of Elul approaches , I often take a moment and express gratitude to the Lord for the rhythm of Messianic Jewish life . The cycle of the Holidays provides Israel with the opportunity not only to remember the things He has done for us historically , but also , each of us is afforded a theme to return year after year to consider and to reflect upon . Each year , each season , each Holiday is an occasion to take a theme or an aspect of who He is and what He has done and look at it from a different angle , to consider another facet of His character and nature . This time of year that theme is repentance .
Repentance is a lifelong process for us . In some circles of thought among Yeshua followers , repentance is something people do when they first meet Him . In Jewish tradition , now and in the life of the Jewish apostles in the first century , repentance is a way of life and is a heart position that is essential to our ability to grow into His likeness .
