About this listen
Jesus and the Torah: Eye for an Eye… or Turn the Other Cheek?In this episode of Water into Wine, I’m joined by Dr. Dru Johnson to discuss how Yeshua/Jesus understood Torah—not as a flat list of rules, but as divine instruction meant to shape wisdom, character, and justice.We explore why modern Christians often misread “biblical law,” how Torah functioned in its ancient context, and how Yeshua’s teaching (“turn the other cheek”) actually connects back to Torah’s original intent—especially in the famous “eye for an eye” passage.We also dig into Torah meditation (Psalm 1), the relationship between law and narrative, how moral imagination is trained through Scripture, and why the Torah’s concern for the vulnerable is central to understanding biblical justice.📌 Learn more from Dr. Johnson’s work:• Center for Hebraic Thought: https://hebraicthought.org/• The Biblical Mind: https://thebiblicalmind.org/
