How God’s Festivals Teach Us About Jesus Christ

The feasts of the Lord, which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, these are My feasts” (Leviticus 23:2). Here God Almighty says in Scripture that these are His feasts. Why are they important to Him? And why should they be important to every Christian? The answer is simple but profound: They center around and teach us about God’s plan for all mankind and the centrality of Jesus Christ’s role in every step toward its completion. Yet for most of traditional Christianity, these biblical feasts are thought to have been kept only by the Jews and are considered meaningless for Christians.
