How does one become tzadic? By receiving HaShem’s tzavot or mitzvot "commandments". When we receive the commandments, we receive the double-power anointing from HaShem which empowers us in this earth to represent Him and His kingdom. Isn’t it interesting that Ya’akov (James) tells us, "The fervent prayers of ish tzadik 'a righteous man' avail much."? What he is really saying is that a man (or woman), who receives HaShem’s commandments, has an extra powerful connection to HaShem, causing his prayers to receive extra notice. Barukh HaShem!

Next, we see that this mitzveh deals with how we relate to each other. It is a sin against HaShem to swindle, lie or cheat a neighbor. Extending this further, we see in Mattityahu (Matthew) 5:27-37, If you even think to commit a sin against your neighbor you have actually done it, and in verses 38-48 an expansion on these commands, love those who hate you and do good to those who despise you. In these cases we can see that HaShem’s will toward mankind is kindness and mercy. Doing these things causes us to be the vessel through which HaShem’s will and mercy come to earth and dwell here as long as we practice his tzavot. Extending the results of obeying the mitzvot to another teaching of Yeshua: Yochanan (John) 14:15-21, if you love me keep my commandments… and I will manifest myself unto you….

In V’yikrah 6:5,6 (Leviticus 6:10-14) HaShem says that the fire for burnt offerings will burn continuously, "it shall not be put out." The offerings for sins are to be totally consumed by the fire. There will remain nothing to burn which can be burned.

The Passover offering is not like the burnt offering. It is to be consumed by those participating. In the Seder (Passover ceremony) we have many pictures:

• The Blood is struck on the mantle and posts of the door. This forms the letter chet H which is the first letter of the word, y¢H Chai (rhymes with pie) meaning "life". Leveticus 17:11 tells us that the life is in the blood. We consume the life of Messiah which changes us and writes the Torah on our hearts (marking our hearts).
• Unleavened bread represents removal of sin (leavening). When sin is removed from a life, the life isn’t as pleasant to those who are observing. "You mean I have to give up …"
• Leavening also represents pleasantness. When Israel left Egypt, Egypt wasn’t pleasant to HaShem. His desire was Israel.
• The tasch. This represents the unity of heaven and the nature of HaShem. There are three pockets in the cover. Within these three pockets are three matzos which represent the three manifestations of HaShem; the unreachable and unseen Father in Heaven, the center matzo represents Yeshua the Messiah who is the Father reaching down to us in a human body and redeeming us with the price of sin (death); the bottom matzo represents the Ruach HaShem (spirit of the L-rd) who comes and remains with us.
• Four cups of wine represent the four principle activities of HaShem and His people on the earth. Redemption, miracles (plagues), completion (da-yey-nu sufficient), and praise.
