My Sanctuary Journey
By design, the sanctuary is an experiential journey of ascent into the presence of God (Psalms 77:13; 122:1–2). Its increasing levels of holiness carry a profound spiritual lesson about making our way to God.
The Child
His Name means something like “astonishing advisor, champion of the universe, exact identity of the Father forever, absolute authority of peace.”
The Lesson of Jonah
The story of Jonah should help us strengthen our commitments to compassion and mercy during these challenging times.
Part 8: Conclusion—A New Land of Bounty and Feast
There is only one interest I want for my life: to experience the love of God—not only to know His love but to experience His loveliness, fall madly in love with Him, and drink deeply of His love, knowing every beautiful facet of it.
Part 7: Turning the Law Inside Out
The new is contained in the old, and the glory of God once hidden inside the most holy place will someday fill the entire universe through glory of the lamb that was slain
Part 5: Feast Keeping Zealotry—Distractions and Fatalistic Theories
We are called to persevere in the light of the festivals’ spiritual message: just as God delivered and led Israel in the wilderness, He will deliver and guide us to eternal life in His presence on a renewed earth.
Part 4: Connecting with the Festivals: What Story Are You a Part Of?
To see the festival narratives merely as exciting stories is to miss their connections to what Jesus did on the cross and how God will confront the future pharaohs of our world to bring about our final redemption.
Part 3: Keeping Festivals to God—Celebration Is Still Required
Just imagine the homecoming party and the splendid wedding feast of the Lamb (Revelation 19:6–9). Jesus is longing to partake of this feast with us in His Father’s kingdom (Matthew 26:29). As it turns out, God is waiting at a great festive table, longing to rejoice with His family. What a glorious celebration and joy that will be!
Part 1: Ceremonial Law and Ritual Perversions
Christ is the center of typical law—the Lamb of God sacrificed for our sins—and this law is extremely valuable for our study of the facets of His sacrifice and ministry.
To Whom It May Concern:
I have decided to share a series of posts over the next several weeks on the biblical ceremonies and festivals. Must we keep the Old Testament annual festivals or not?
