Receiving God’s Amazing Grace by Relating with Him through the Lord’s Feast of Tabernacles
It was a Sabbath’s Sabbath! On the one hand, it marked the time to rest from enduring the work of laboring in the field. On the other hand, it served to remind the people of God’s favor and care extended through the long wilderness journey before crossing into the Promised Land. It serves an even greater purpose today of facilitating a real love feast, or special time to appreciate how the LORD has enabled those who place trust in Him to truly enter into His rest and enjoy present and eternal peace of soul!
He declared, “Come to me, all of you who are struggling and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, because I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” (Matthew 11:28-30 JNT) Paul further encouraged believers to be strengthened in faith, for it is by faith that we have access to the LORD’s grace and gift of peace.
We all seek God’s peace. God purposes to bring us to a state of rest on the inside. It’s called shalom; a sense of being fulfilled by God in God, a sense of being whole. Paul illustrated how seeking God will result in finding the God of peace… who offers the peace of God!
