OUR YEAR REVOLVES AROUND THE BIBLICAL HOLY DAYS

This past week I spent two days in meetings participating in planning for the autumn Feast of Tabernacles. We are Christians who observe the Holy Days of the Bible listed in Leviticus 23. Our whole year revolves around these seven annual festivals even as our week revolves around the Sabbath day.

It is only when a person actively observes the Passover, Days of Unleavened Bread, Pentecost, Feast of Trumpets, Day of Atonement, Feast of Tabernacles and the Eighth Day that we can truly understand God’s magnificent plan of salvation. Significantly, each one of these festivals was observed by Jesus Christ during his lifetime on this earth. Furthermore, each of these festivals teach us something vitally important about Jesus Christ and His critical part in God’s plan.

Passover week commences in about ten weeks. Over the course of these weeks, I will focus this blog on what to consider when preparing to observe this very important time. In the meanwhile, you may wish to listen in to the Bible Study sponsored each Wednesday evening by the Beyond Today television program. The presenters will review this preparation in a more in-depth way than can be accomplished in a short blog. The link to these Bible Studies is: http://www.ucg.org/beyond-today/six-steps-to-passover.

To watch the live Bible Study, tune in to the webcast from the United Church of God’s home office in Cincinnati at 7:00 p.m. Eastern Time. This webcast can be found at: http://ucg.org/live-bible-study.
