A Christian and the “Jewish” Festivals – Part 2 – News from Jerusalem

There are many reasons why I keep the so-called Jewish festivals. Firstly, because they’re not Jewish. They’re God’s, “the feasts of the Lord” (Leviticus 23:4). His appointed times. His idea. His plan. But there’s another reason too. A simple one. I keep the Biblical festivals because Yeshua did. We have enough proof of that in the Gospels. In John 7, Yeshua goes to Jerusalem for Sukkot, the Feast of Tabernacles. In John 10 it’s Hanukkah. We’re told how He went to Jerusalem with His parents for Passover as a young man (Luke 2:42) and again how He celebrated this festival with His disciples on the night before He was crucified (John 13). The list goes on.
