MEMORIALS OF THE BIBLE
Shadows of Things to Come - Lev 23 – Colossians 2:16,17

“The Jews had many striking ceremonies which marvelously set forth the death of Jesus Christ as the great expiation of our guilt and the salvation of our souls.” C.H. Spurgeon

Sunday will be a look at the Feasts of Israel as they were an annual reminder of the promises of God about His forgiveness of Sin. Paul calls these festivals ‘a shadow of what is to come’ and shifts the focus to Christ who is the ‘substance’ of these holidays. I want to walk us through the days God has set aside to be a picture the plan of redemption for man. Beginning with Passover in the Spring through the Fall highlight of the Day of Atonement. Each of these celebrations highlight the life, death, burial and resurrection of Jesus.

In the context of this calendar of reminders we will take the time to remember the body and blood of our Savior in a time of Communion. We should appreciate the Jewish rituals only as far as they have led us to their fulfillment in Christ. It is truly all about Jesus!

Come Sunday and bring someone who will enjoy the history because it promises a future of heaven!

See you Sunday,

Pastor Mike
