12 "These Are The Feasts Of The Lord"
CHAPTER TWELVE
“THESE ARE THE FEASTS OF THE LORD”
Little wonder these seven feasts of the Lord delight the heart of God! They picture the glories of the person of Christ and His mighty work of grace for a sinning world. The Father calls them His “feasts.”
And He longs to share them with you and me. He “called unto Moses, and spake unto him out of the tabernacle of the congregation” at the foot of Mount Sinai many centuries ago, in order to tell His people how they might share His feasts. He still calls to you and me today, bidding us find delight in these things that rejoice His heart.
He has prepared “a table” before us in the presence of our enemies, before Satan and all his hosts. He invites us to His banqueting house, and His banner over us is love. Will you not open the door of your heart to Him, my unsaved brother, and let Him enter there to sup with you?
“Nothing satisfies but Jesus.” He is the Bread of Life. And He will fill your hungering soul with the heavenly manna and the living water.
All these “shadows of good things to come” find their beginning and their ending in Jesus of Nazareth, the eternal Son of God, Israel’s Messiah, and the Saviour of the world. Moses wrote of Him. All the prophets foretold His “sufferings . . . and the glory that should follow” (1 Peter 1:11).
In Him all the ages meet. And this Mighty One longs to be your personal Saviour and Lord. Let Him into your heart today, and you will sit with Him at the marriage supper of the Lamb-and share with Jehovah His “feasts” throughout the endless ages!
