God's Holy Days

"These are the feasts of the LORD, holy convocations which you shall proclaim at their appointed times" (Leviticus 23:4).

Is it possible to know what the future holds? The Creator of mankind has an incredible plan for us, and He reveals it through an annual cycle of festivals described in the Scriptures.

God desires to give us good gifts. We should ask God and have faith in Him to give. And we should do so not just for ourselves, but for others as well.

Passover: It’s a day God commands us to observe each year by commemorating the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, who lived a perfect life and paid the ultimate price on our behalf. When we get baptized, we are committing our lives to God, and Passover is when we renew that commitment.

Something critical is missing in the story of Easter and it has everything...

Did you realize that Passover is mentioned more than 70 times in the Bible? What do those Christians who will be observing Passover know that others don't?

The choice of a Sunday date for Easter is based on the assumption that Christ rose from the grave early on a Sunday morning. The popular belief is that Christ was crucified on a Friday and rose on a Sunday. But neither of these suppositions is true. A close reading of the Bible makes that quite clear.

A main theme in the Bible is sin, which is defined in the Bible as the violation of God's law (1 John 3:4, King James Version), and our need for forgiveness and reconciliation to God (the theme of the biblically commanded Passover and the Days of Unleavened Bread).

As we have seen, Easter and its customs did not come from the Bible, but from pagan fertility rites. It is a curious mixture of ancient mythological practices and arbitrary dating that obscures and discredits the proof of Jesus Christ's Messiahship and resurrection.
