PORTION COMMENTARY

THE LORD'S APPOINTED TIMES

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK:

The appointed times can be called a cycle because they recur in a cyclical fashion, creating patterns and rhythms in time. The Sabbath creates a weekly cycle. The festivals occur annually. Each appointed time teaches unique lessons about Messiah, salvation, redemption, sanctification and our relationship with God. Each time we keep one of God's appointed times, it is an opportunity to spiritually elevate ourselves, drawing ever closer to God.
