Numbers 9 - When we take time out of our busy schedules to wait quietly before God as the Israelites did to celebrate Passover, we can enter into God’s rest and presence. We can then hear His voice and know that He is God. Doing this enables us to live in His presence and follow His leading.Show more

When it comes to celebrating the Passover, we need to answer a few questions. Why did Jehovah tell the Israelites to celebrate the Passover or keep the Sabbath? Why didn’t Jesus keep the Sabbath? Instead, He healed the sick, cast out demons, and allowed the disciples to pluck heads of grain on the Sabbath. We will be able to understand an essential spiritual principle and a mistake that the church has often made when we answer these questions.

Did God choose the Israelites to be Jesus’ ancestors because they were special, or was it because God chose Jesus to be born amongst them that they became more precious to Him? If you think about this, you might agree with my conclusion. I believe that God’s primary purpose for telling the Israelites to celebrate the Passover and Sabbath was to protect them from being occupied and defiled by worldly sin like the Gentiles. They remained holy so that Jesus Christ could be born into their nation at the right time. God wanted Jesus to be born into righteousness. Celebrating the Passover and Sabbath was a means and a tool to preserve the righteousness of the Israelites. A similar example is when God chose Noah to multiply generations of people because he was righteous in God’s sight.
