Walking in Spiritual Reality by Relating with God through the Lord’s Feast of Passover

Summary
The Passover feast is more than a mere celebration of freedom from bondage. It marks a total discharge—a genuine release and relief from the heavy burdens of sin and effects of the bondage and corruption of the world, its systems and environments in which we live.

Passover also reveals the beginning of God’s creative process. He separates light from darkness, truth from error and lies, and people from the weight, pressures and burden of bondage.

It marks the beginning of new things God initiates. He puts the past behind us, and prepares us for a new season of grace. We have the opportunity to receive His grace and release, and go forward—pressing towards God’s upward call.

The LORD truly bore our sins, thoroughly releasing us from the burden of the effects of sinful tendencies. The Holy Spirit, He said, would come to be our comforter; providing real relief from stress, anxiety, fear, depression, and every evil thing. The gospel, therefore, provides a real assurance and hope of spiritual freedom. 

The LORD truly is our hope of glory. The Holy Spirit fills us with a real peace and joy the world cannot comprehend!

So, since we have come to be considered righteous by God because of our trust, let us continue to have shalom with God through our Lord, Yeshua the Messiah. 2 Also through him and on the ground of our trust, we have gained access to this grace in which we stand; so let us boast about the hope of experiencing God’s glory. (Romans 5:1-2 JNT)
