Dr. Jay and Amazing Larry continue their look at Remez … how Rabbis teach the Bible in shorthand. Remez means to “allude” to something, usually a specific section of the Hebrew Scriptures, via a phrase, word, or even an action. In today’s episode, we dig into the Book of Matthew that uses the reference to “God’s Servant” to reveal Jesus’ purpose when He came to provide salvation to humanity.

See how Jesus used this technique to reveal profound truths as He was being crucified
