Showing The Way, The Truth and The Life.

 At MOTW, we believe in the Most High God (Elohim) who eternally, simultaneously, and distinctly exists as YAH the Father, Yeshua the Son, and Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit), yet remains one God in the highest (Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14). We believe that we can be saved from moral decay, destruction, and eternal separation from YAH by faith, dependent only upon the grace of YAH, through the atoning sacrifice of Yeshua the Messiah (Ephesians 2:8-9; John 3:16). 

  We believe that Yeshua, our Messiah, has fulfilled the Old Covenant and established a New Covenant through His sacrifice on the cross and His resurrection on the third day (Luke 22:20; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4). Through faith in His atoning work, we are forgiven (Ephesians 1:7). We also anticipate the Second Coming of the Messiah, who will return from the clouds as He ascended (Acts 1:11; Revelation 1:7). Alongside His return, we expect a Second Exodus, during which He will gather the lost tribes of Israel and Judah  (Ezekiel 37:18-24) , demonstrating His divine power as God did in the first Exodus when He freed His people from Egypt (Isaiah 11:11-12; Jeremiah 16:14-15). In this great gathering, He will unite the scattered descendants of Abraham (Ezekiel 37:1-24) with the “wild branches” of all who have placed their faith and love in Yeshua (Romans 11:17-18). Together, they will participate in the Messiah’s 1,000-year reign on earth (Revelation 20:4-6), and those who rise in the first resurrection will join the faithful in this era (Revelation 20:5). The tribes of Judah and the Gentiles from all nations who have believed in the Messiah will be united with Yeshua, who will reign on the Davidic throne (Matthew 19:28; Luke 1:32-33) and share in the Feast of Tabernacles and worship the King (Zechariah 14:16).

The teachings of Yeshua our Messiah, often emphasize living a life aligned with divine principles and personal transformation. Central to these teachings are the concepts of the narrow path and picking up one’s cross, which encapsulate the challenges and commitments involved in following Him.

1. Mathew 7:13-14: Yeshua speaks of the narrow path in this passage, contrasting it with the broad path leading to destruction. The narrow path symbolizes a life of righteousness and obedience to YAH's will, which is challenging and less popular, but ultimately leads to eternal life. It requires making choices that often go against societal norms and personal desires.
2. Spiritual Discipline: Walking the narrow path involves rigorous spiritual discipline. It means prioritizing one's relationship with YAH our ELOHIM, seeking His guidance through prayer, reading Scripture, and adhering to His commandments. This path requires discernment and the courage to make decisions that align with divine values, even when they are countercultural or difficult.

1. Luke 9:23: Yeshua instructs His followers to “take up their cross daily and follow Him.” This metaphorically represents the willingness to endure suffering, sacrifice, and hardship for the sake of faith. In the context of Yeshua’s time, a cross symbolized execution and extreme suffering, so taking up one’s cross implies a readiness to face personal trials and make sacrifices in following Yeshua.
2. Self-Denial: Picking up one’s cross involves self-denial—putting aside personal ambitions and desires that conflict with YAH's will. It requires placing YAH's purposes above one’s own and being willing to endure difficulties that come from living a life devoted to Messiah's teachings.
3. Commitment to Messiah: This commitment means actively living out Yeshua's teachings, even when it involves personal cost. It is about embodying his values, such as love, humility, and forgiveness, in all aspects of life, even in the face of opposition or persecution.

1. Love and Compassion: Yeshua teaches the importance of loving others, including one’s enemies, and showing compassion to those in need. The greatest commandments are to love YAH with all one’s heart and to love one’s neighbor as oneself (Matthew 22:37-39).
2. Forgiveness: Yeshua emphasizes the need for forgiveness, both receiving it from YAH and extending it to others. He teaches that forgiveness is crucial for maintaining a relationship with ELOHIM and living a life of peace and reconciliation (Matthew 6:14-15).
3. Humility and Servanthood: Yeshua exemplifies and teaches humility, encouraging His followers to serve others selflessly. He illustrates this through His own life, notably when He washes His disciples’ feet and calls them to serve one another (John 13:12-15).
4. Faith and Trust: Following Yeshua requires faith in His promises and trust in His guidance. It means relying on YAH's wisdom and strength rather than one’s own understanding (Proverbs 3:5-6).

In summary, Jesus’ teachings about the narrow path and picking up one’s cross underscore the demands and sacrifices of true discipleship (Matthew 28:18-20). They call for a life of rigorous adherence to divine principles, self-denial, and steadfast commitment to living out the values exemplified by Messiah.
