The bitterness of Lent, with its call for repentance and fasting, ultimately leads us to the sweetness of Easter, revealing God's profound mercy and love. As we engage in Lenten practices, we are reminded that God is gracious and merciful, inviting us to return to Him fully, that we might experience renewal and satisfaction. This Lent, our focus will be on the seven feasts of the Lord commanded at Mount Sinai, which not only structured the Old Testament liturgical year but also foreshadowed the fulfillment of God's plan through Christ. These feasts, split between the spring and fall, highlight significant aspects of our salvation history and point to both the first and second coming of Christ. The spring feasts, including Passover and Unleavened Bread, connect directly to our celebrations of Easter and Pentecost, emphasizing Christ as our Passover lamb whose sacrifice delivers us from sin and death. As we partake in the Lord's Supper, we are called to purge the leaven of sin from our lives, living out the reality of our deliverance with sincerity and truth. Through these feasts, we see the overarching narrative of redemption, from the Exodus to the ultimate freedom found in Christ, leading us from the bondage of sin to the promised land of eternal life with God.
