The feasts of the OT were prescribed by God.
They were far more than just a meal, each one had a special meaning.
They we’re meant as a remembrance or a reminder of some sort, but most importantly, Christ is represented In each one.
They are all a foreshadowing of Christ and His work.
That is what we are going to look at in this series.
In fact, the entire OT (law, etc.) is about preparing the way for Christ.
It all points to and leads to Him.
Beware of anyone who says you must observe these feasts, or any other ritual.
They are like the false teachers of Galatians, who tried to make every man get circumcised.
They taught that you must become a Jew to become a Christian.
Those false teachers are still around today.
It is not necessary for Christians to observe these feasts, that decision is solely up to the individual.
As I said, these things are a foreshadowing, Christ is the substance.
Understanding the meaning of these feasts will provide a deeper understanding of God‘s work in the OT.
Exodus 12:1-4
Leviticus 23:4-5
14 NISAN was on Good Friday this year
We start with the Passover, because we are at that time of year, and it begins a new year for Israel.
The Passover meal commemorates Israel's deliverance from slavery in Egypt.
The Lord sent Moses to lead Israel from Egypt to the Promised Land.
When first confronted by Moses, Pharaoh refused to let the people go.
After sending nine plagues, the Lord said the firstborn males of every house would die unless the doorframe of that house was covered with the blood of a perfect lamb.
That night, the Lord “passed over” the homes with blood on the doorframes.
The tenth plague brought death to all the firstborn sons of Egypt, even taking the life of Pharaoh’s own son.
Finally, Pharaoh let the Hebrews go
Passover was to be a lasting ordinance for generations to come.
Jesus celebrated the Passover with his disciples, saying that he had eagerly desired to eat this Passover with them before he suffered and that he would not eat it again until the kingdom of God comes
Jesus’ parents traveled to Jerusalem yearly to celebrate Passover.
Luke 2:41
Jesus celebrated the Passover
Luke 22:7-16
After the Passover meal, they sang a hymn and went to the Mount of Olives
Matthew 26:30
The traditional hymn which Jews sing during Passover is the Hallel which includes Psalm 118:22
Jesus is our passover
Jesus the cornerstone
Matthew 21:42
1 Peter 2:7
Jesus the lamb
The Passover lamb is symbolic of Christ, in that must be a perfect male with no blemish.
Exodus 12:5
Jesus was crucified as the “Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world” (John 1:29).
John 1:29
Just like the blood on the doorposts protected the Israelites from God’s judgment, so does the blood of Jesus Christ protect us.
As the angel of death passed through Egypt, all he needed to see was the blood on the doorposts.
Hew had no need to look inside and asses who was there.
They were covered by the blood, and that was enough.
It is the same with believers today we are covered with the blood of Christ, and that is all God needs to see.
Nothing else matters.
Our remembrance
Today, the Lord’s Supper is observed by the church as a remembrance of His sacrifice as the perfect Passover Lamb and the fulfillment of the new covenant between God and man
