Possibly the last in my series on feasts. Finally! One on Passover. And not boring. Yes, Jesus is the lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world.
But check this out. This is how God sums up the Passover story: Exodus 20:2 “I took you out of the house of slavery.” (Then goes into the 10 Commandments.)
So, what does that mean in terms of us living out the meaning of the feasts? Are we out of the house of slavery? Hmm? How many Christians do you hear saying that we must sin every day? How much are we living out freedom? But there is more. There is liberty. That is why the Israelites, just coming off Passover and the Red Sea, next hear about The Law. Why? Because God was taking them into the land — to be a blessed nation.
Okay, so we know about passing over from judgement to grace. We know about the Feast of Unleavened Bread, where we purge out sin, pride… (and oh, wrath and malice which also grows)… and live in rest. Do we know about rest? Tell me if you know.
What about passing over into the land? Into Freedom? Into Liberty?
But then, what about going into the land? Does that mean finances only? Really? What about “Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.” What does that mean? Where have we seeen that? Any lands, guided by the gospel of freedom with law? Oh yes!
