Remembrances and Rehearsals

To close out the Levitical law, the people of Israel were given a calendar schedule of festivals and celebrations that were to be observed. Each and every one of them brought to remembrance the goodness of God in their past and rehearsed the ministry and fulfillment of Christ in the future. We are not under the law of following these ritual feasts. However, God has still given us remembrances and rehearsals to practice that recall His goodness to us in His provision of salvation and look to the future consummation of His promises.
