Each year you must celebrate 3 festivals in My honor- Exo. 23:14. In a day where we are so busy and our calendars seem to bulge with commitments vying for our time and attention, we must always come back to the Word of God to align our hearts and priorities. God gave the children of Israel three things that they needed to take time and celebrate every year in order to maintain as a priority in their daily lives and walk with the Lord. These 3 things remain timeless in their instruction to us as modern day believers.

1. Feast of Unleavened Bread-The Cross: Passover was a picture of the Cross and the sacrifice of Jesus, our Lamb. The first and highest priority of our life is to be saved and discipled by the Cross of Jesus Christ. We should never get away from the power of the Cross to set us free from sin and keep the old man crucified so that we can walk in the Spirit and not fulfill the lust of the flesh.

2. Feast of Harvest-The Lost: Jesus died so that none would perish and all inherit eternal life. BUT, if you and I don’t tell people the Good News and get active in the harvest as a laborer everyone WILL perish for lack of knowledge concerning their salvation and deliverance.

3. Feast of the Final Harvest- Eternity: Heaven and Hell are both a reality that we should live in constant awareness of day and night. We should never allow eternity to minimized or nominalized in our lives. Heaven causes us to rejoice in the work of salvation and long for that day of perfect alignment with God’s presence. Hell should motivate us to reach out to the lost at all cost in order to keep them from the awful reality that awaits all that have rejected (directly or indirectly) the Savior, Jesus Christ.
As you can see, these 3 things go together and focus us on Jesus every day. Keep them as your priority in this life and great will be your reward in the life to come!
