This is all so true: Context of context indeed! When reading scripture, it’s all about who, where, when, and why: Context! I encourage people all the time to read (anything really) from another perspective than your own; to get out of your own box now and then; to experience culture shock because it’s good for you. I go further and suggest that to fully understand the life of Messiah, one must not be money-dependent, grocer-dependent, car-dependent, and, well I think you get the point. We obviously cannot replicate First Century Israel, but we can mirror the lifestyle of Messiah Yeshua. E.g. I’m a carpenter by trade (retired), and a disciple of Messiah Yeshua, now & forever.
