This document discusses how Jesus fulfilled the spring feasts of Passover, Unleavened Bread, and Firstfruits in the Bible, and how he represents the mercy seat in the Holy of Holies. It notes how the high priest would sprinkle blood on the mercy seat once a year for atonement, and how Jesus' blood was sprinkled once to provide perpetual atonement and grace. The document contrasts grace through faith in Jesus with the law that shows mankind's inability to attain righteousness through works. It presents Jesus as the king who keeps the mercy seat and law covered by his blood so that mercy and grace can always be found.

1. Jesus is the Mercy Seat

2. Leviticus 23 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: ‘The
feasts of the Lord, which you shall proclaim to be holy
convocations, these are My feasts.
Convocation: (mik-raw) – holy preparation or
rehearsal, prepare for a public performance

Passover
Feast of Unleavened Bread
Feast of Firstfruits
Pentecost- Feast of Weeks
Fall feasts yet to be fulfilled:

4. John 20:11 But Mary stood outside by the tomb
weeping, and as she wept she stooped down and
looked into the tomb. 12 And she saw two angels in
white sitting, one at the head and the other at the
feet, where the body of Jesus had lain. 13 Then they
said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping?”
She said to them, “Because they have taken away my
Lord, and I do not know where they have laid Him.”

5. Exo
dus 25 God instructs Moses to build the tabernacle
and the furniture
Ark of the Covenant was in the Holy of Holies- God
dwelled between the wings of the Cherubim
Mercy Seat of pure gold to cover the ten commandments
High Priest would sprinkle blood 7 times in front of the
Ark but only once on the mercy seat

7. Romans 3:19 Now we know that whatever the law
says, it says to those who are under the law, that every
mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become
guilty before God. 20 Therefore by the deeds of the
law no flesh will be justified in His sight, for by the law
is the knowledge of sin.
21 But now the righteousness of God apart from the
law is revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the
Prophets,

8. R o
mans 3:22 even the righteousness of God,
through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all who
believe. For there is no difference; 23 for all have
sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 being
justified freely by His grace through the redemption
that is in Christ Jesus,

9. R o
mans 3:25 whom God set forth as a propitiation
by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His
righteousness, because in His forbearance God had
passed over the sins that were previously committed,
26 to demonstrate at the present time His
righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of
the one who has faith in Jesus.
Propitiation: (hil-as-tay’-ree-on) – an atoning victim, the
lid of the Ark, the mercy seat

10. Grac e
is God working and man resting
- the deliverance from Egypt was pure grace
under the Abrahamic Covenant
- God brought them out despite sin, murmuring
Law is man working and God resting
- based on man’s ability to keep covenant
- God gave the tabernacle and ark because
He knew man can’t keep it

11. Hebrews 4: 9 There remains therefore a rest for the
people of God. 10 For he who has entered His rest has
himself also ceased from his works as God did from His.
11 Let us therefore be diligent to enter that rest, lest
anyone fall according to the same example of
disobedience...
16 Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of
grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help
in time of need.

13. Jesus is The King that keeps the mercy seat in place
Jesus makes sure the mercy seat is always in place and
the law is never exposed to you
The blood of Jesus was sprinkled once so that mercy
and grace always flow freely

14. Psalm 105:37
“He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and
there was not one feeble person among their tribes.”
