Reflections on Passover and combining several of the readings into one study.
Passover is in actuality a Pot Luck with everyone bringing a portion of the Body of Christ, broken and given. This is how we minister to one another as a fellowship.
We are exhorting to continue the process of being Disciplined together and staying steadfast in hopes that God continues to knit our hearts together in unity.
The Psalm reflects on our become united in heart.
First Fruits Offerings that lead us towards Pentecost. ( 49 days )
Feast of Weeks.
There are 7 Offerings that God commands us to celebrate. We do this inadvertently as believers, we recognize them, and as we recognize them, we participate with
all of the Saints, past, present, and future. ( because we see this out of time and space )
3 of the feasts are Pilgrimage Feasts. Leaving Egypt is the beginning of understanding the fullness of this mystery. We are called out of Egypt to be gathered unto Him. We are the Church by definition, "Ecclesia" Assembly , gathered together.
Our First Fruits are what we present to the Priest to be sanctified. Our reaction to things is worthy of repentance. The Pharisees and Sadducees were chastised by John the Baptist to go and bear fruit for repentance, because they didn’t think they had anything to repent from. This is the Leaven that Christ warned about , and what we reflect on in Passover.
