Happy
Easter
Just
kidding.
I know
many Christians celebrate the resurrection of Jesus during Easter not knowing
where the name of the celebration, its date and its paraphernalia originally came from.
I am not
going to preach to you that you ought to do this or that, I'll just leave it up to you.
I
personally do not celebrate Easter, but Passover and the Feast of Unleavened
Bread which begins with the Passover.
These
are not inventions of Judaism, or products of Moses' imagination, but they are
prophetic markers YHWH gave us for certain key events in His plan for mankind.
He gave us these dates as special occasions for us to focus on Him and His plan which stretches beyond the boundary of Time.
Tonight
is the night of Passover based on the calendar on the observed, first visible sliver
of the new moon which marks the beginning of the month.
Some use
the calendar of Judaism, the calendar of exile, and they have already
celebrated the Passover.
Whatever
calendar you use, I wish you a very joyful celebration of the markers which
originate from YHWH's hand.
Celebrating
them is not a religious straightjacket you put yourself in, at least, it ought
not be a religious straightjacket. It is a way of following your Father's
instruction because you love Him and want to 'walk to His beat', or, if you like,
'dance to His rhythm'.
Don't
worry about getting details not right, because it's not really about the
details.
If it was about the details I would be in trouble, because I could not get any lamb's meat, so I opted for the chicken instead.
It's not
exactly according to the instructions of the celebration of Passover, nor am I suggesting that a chicken is a suitable reference to Yahshua (no offence intended, Yahshua), but far
more important than the details is how you celebrate it, remembering your
beloved Messiah's suffering, honoring your king Yahshua, and reaching out to Him with your
heart.
That is
when you will be blessed, because as is the case with everything, it is about
sincere love, not about meticulously following details.
It's the
love which makes your heart beat in sync with our Father's rhythm.
So, Happy Easter, and give
my regards to the Easter bunny if he happens to hop your way with a basket of
painted eggs.
I know, I'm
a bad, baaaad boy...
Edit: I guess an angel must have read what I wrote, because I just went out to get some vegetables as my eyes fixed on lamb's meat waiting for me to buy it.
So, now I got the details right as well.
