Simplifying the Truth
Next on my list of Jewish holidays is the Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot). This one reflects on Israel’s wandering through the wilderness for 40 years. But it was also meant to point the Jews to the Messiah, Jesus.
As I make my way through the feasts, the next one is the Feast of Unleavened Bread. This one coincides with Passover very closely. In Passover we learn Jesus is the perfect sacrificial Lamb of God. And why He is can be found clearly in the Feast of Unleavened Bread.
Plowing through the Jewish holidays leads me to the Feast of the Firstfruits. It’s quite exciting how this one foreshadows Jesus!
People say that Jesus is the Lamb of God. But why a lamb specifically? It goes back to Passover. The parallels between Passover and the Crucifixion are astounding. God knew what He was doing when He instituted Passover.
Can a person lose their salvation? This question is a contentious one and not easy to answer. Ultimately only God knows the answer and the truth about where each person will spend eternity. But I do wish to present both sides of the debate and offer my own thoughts.
