Why Discuss Feasts and Festivals?
We are 2,000 years removed from the time of Christ.
A thorough study of the life of Christ involves a study of the feasts and festivals takign place during his life.
Why not?

The Passover Festival
Key Passages of the Passover:
Exodus 12.6
Leviticus 23.5,8
Numbers 28.16-25
Deuteronomy 16.1-8

This festival was celebrated the 14th day of the first month.
It was celebrated about the same time as the barley harvest.
This festival was actually two celebrations in one:
The Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread
Since the two feasts were close together and they resembled each other, they were combined into one festival.

During the festival a lamb was slain and it was eaten with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.
The blood of the lamb symbolized the cleansing of sin.
The unleavened bread symbolized purity.
The bitter herbs symbolized the bitterness of the bondage in Egypt .
Jesus was crucified during the Passover.

The Pentecost Festival

Deuteronomy 16.11-12
Acts 2

The Pentecost Festival
This feast was celebrated 50 days after the offering of the barley sheath during the Passover festival.
The feast fell during the wheat harvest.
It was also known as the Feast of Weeks or Feast of Firstfruits.

The Day of Atonement
Key Passages of the Day of Atonement:
Leviticus 16; 23.26-32
Numbers 29.7-11

The Day of Atonement
The Law of Moses called for one fast—The Day of Atonement.
This day was set aside for the cleansing of sins.
This day used a scapegoat.
This goat symbolized the sins of the people.
It was sent off or taken into the wilderness and abandoned to die.
Symbolizing that God had forgiven the sins of the people.

Why a Record of the Feasts/Festivals ?
Christ was our Passover Lamb.
Christ brought unleavened bread into the rememberance of his body.
The feast of Tabernacles show us our hope and life is found in the faith in Christ.
Christ was the scapegoat for our sins.
Why?
So you can walk through the gates of Heaven!
