Why Celebrate The Feasts?

The observance of the Biblical feasts is more than just a series of rituals; it’s an opportunity for spiritual growth, learning, and connection. As believers, here are a few reasons why we might consider observing these special days:

Align with God’s Calendar: The feasts are based on the Biblical, or Hebrew, calendar. This lunar-based calendar is distinct from our commonly used Gregorian calendar. By observing the feasts, we align ourselves with God’s timetable as opposed to man-made traditions.

Understand God’s Redemptive Plan: Each feast holds prophetic significance, providing a picture of God’s plan for humanity. From the Passover’s foreshadowing of Yeshua’s sacrifice to the Feast of Trumpets’ anticipation of His return, the feasts offer profound insights into God’s redemptive work.

Deepen Our Faith: The Feasts are deeply rooted in Scripture, and observing them can deepen our understanding of the Bible. They give us a more comprehensive grasp of Biblical events, God’s nature, and His promises.

Connect with Our Spiritual Heritage: The feasts remind us that we are part of a rich and ancient tradition, allowing us to connect with our spiritual heritage and the broader community of believers throughout history.

Act of Obedience: The feasts are referred to as “The Feasts of the Lord” (Leviticus 23:2). Observing them is a way to obey God’s commands, showing our love and respect for Him.

In a world that often feels disconnected from the Biblical times, observing the feasts can help us feel a closer connection to God, His Word, and His plan for us. Whether you are a new believer or a long-time follower of Yeshua, these celebrations can provide a profound, enriching, and meaningful way to engage with your faith.
