FEAST Q ~~~~>>>
God has given us a gift of His feasts. They are a pleasure, and for our good. They have marked two great events in His plan, Passover, when Christ's sacrifice covered our sins, and Pentecost when the Holy Spirit was made available for us.
Future holy days will picture more exciting events that are important to our eternal lives.
