CELEBRATE AND REJOICE
Keywords 16:1
Observe the month of Abib and celebrate the Passover of the
LORD your God, because in the month of Abib he brought you out of Egypt by
night.
1. Remember your departure from Egypt (1-8)
Life in the Promised
Land would be a joyful celebration of God's grace for
his people. They were to assemble at the place of God's
choosing three times
a year, bringing their offerings and rejoicing before him.
The Passover was
the remembrance of God’s deliverance from their slavery in
Egypt. It was the
demonstration of his mighty power. It was also his grace
when he chose them out
of all nations to call his own.
2. Remember that you were slaves in Egypt (9-17)
The Festival of Weeks
was celebrated seven weeks after the harvest began. It
was a remembrance that they were slaves in Egypt, but now
they were blessed
abundantly by God. The Festival of Tabernacles celebrated
the end of the
harvest. For seven days, they were to live in booths as they
had in the wilderness
and remember God's grace in the desert. The life of the
Israelites would be a
remembrance of God’s grace and a celebration of life.
Prayer Lord, help me to always remember your grace
and live with a joyful heart.
One Word Celebrate God’s grace
