The Significance of the Feasts: Shabbat

In the Bible, there are seven commanded feasts, separated by two seasons; however, there is one feast that takes place every week — Shabbat!

The Significance of the Feasts: Introduction

Recently, I’ve been struggling to understand why my family observes the Feasts of the Lord while the rest of the Christian world ignores them.

As we begin preparing for the Passover Seder and Feast of Unleavened Bread, now is the perfect time to reflect on who our Passover lamb is and how His sacrifice continues to affect our lives today! Each year, we clean the leaven out of our homes, but what about the leaven in our hearts?

In Luke 23:39-43, we read about the two criminals crucified next to Yeshua. One of them spits insults, mocking Yeshua and holding onto the leaven (sin) in his heart, while the other humbles himself before the King of Kings. Instead of begging Yeshua to save him, the criminal confesses, “We are punished justly, for we are getting what our deeds deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong. Yeshua, remember me when you come into your kingdom.” (vs.41-42)

I don’t know about you, but this passage is an excellent reminder that we are the ones who should’ve died that day on the cross, not Yeshua. Yet, despite our sins, mistakes, and rebellion, He saved us and wants to restore our lives to bring glory to His kingdom! No matter what you’ve done, it’s never too late to turn back to Yeshua and be forgiven!

So, rather than going into the Spring Feasts focused on the cleaning, food, celebrations, or getting time off work, I’m going to reflect on the significance of the feasts and press in to what the Lord is saying.

Many of us are going through the motions of observing the feasts, but God watches our hearts and sees the fruit we are producing. Are we humbling ourselves and doing these things in honor of the Messiah who sacrificed His life for us, or are we merely dressing up and pretending to be His sheep?

Yeshua, thank you for being our Passover lamb and revealing the leaven in our hearts. Forgive us for our sins and wash us in your blood so we can draw close and have a personal relationship with you! Use this week to open our eyes to your truth, love, and restoration. We are the true sinners, but you see us as worthy of being saved! Thank you for your goodness and faithfulness! We praise your mighty name and rejoice that you are ALIVE and among us today! AMEN!

On the 75th anniversary of the immigrant ship, Moledet, arriving in Haifa Port, survivors and family members gathered at the Atlit Detention Camp on March 31st to remember and honor those who played a significant role in their history and escape from Europe! Hosted by the Moledet Heritage Group, the event was one of connection, testimony, and tribute. Also in attendance were representatives of Love Never Fails, a coalition of nineteen different Christian organizations in the UK who came together in the 1990s to repent and display their remorse for British and Christian anti-Semitism through the ages. Today, they stand together to show love for the Jewish people and provide humanitarian aid in Israel, Britain, and worldwide. Much of the work Love Never Fails does in Israel is to bring reconciliation regarding Britain’s mistreatment and injustice during the British Mandate.

Darcy and Morgan used to be best friends… Until he betrayed her. However, they weren’t the only ones affected by what happened two summers ago. Along with their relationship, their friend group was torn apart, each choosing their loyalties or drifting away completely. Separated by time and space, it’s not until their forgotten past is dug out of the marsh that they are reunited for a summer of secrets, danger, murder, and forbidden love.

The Summer We Forgot is a beautiful, haunting homage to being a teenager. Having a way with words I can only dream of having, Caroline George brought the story to life with her poetic descriptions, gripping plot twists, and showstopping one-liners — her talents shining on each page of this novel! Whether you’re on the beach soaking in the sun’s rays, or snuggled by the fire while it snows outside, The Summer We Forgot will transport you to a time where being young means everything is new, exciting and scary!
