Remez

Tonight I stumbled upon the name of a style of Biblical teaching, and consequently a method of interpretation, that I've seen for a very long time in the Scriptures, but didn't know the name of. It is called "Remez".

Jesus used this style of rabbinical teaching over 30 times in the Gospels, and his Apostles followed suit in the Acts and Epistles. It is a method of teaching where the teacher 'hints' at additional meaning of what he or she is saying, by 'hinting' at other parts of Scripture (usually the Old Testament).

If we want to understand as much about our Teacher Jesus as we can, then we must understand this method of teaching which He frequently used. One used even at the Cross.

And it is to this end that I invite you to watch this video, which details one of the greatest examples of "Remez" that Jesus used.
Enjoy! "Remez and Psalm 22"

Grace and Peace,
