CELEBRATING GOD'S GRACE

Date : Jan 01, 2000
Passage : Deuteronomy 16:1~22
Keyverse : 16


1. Celebrate the Passover (1-8)

Life in the Promised Land should be a joyful celebration of God's grace. They were to assemble at the place of God's choosing three times a year, bring freewill offerings, and rejoice before him. The Passover was celebrated to remind them that they had been slaves in Egypt, and that God had delivered them by his almighty hand. We too must remember God's saving grace, and rejoice.

2. The Feast of Weeks (9-12)

This was a thanksgiving feast celebrated seven weeks after the harvest began. It was a time to acknowledge that the harvest was God's blessing and thank him.

3. The Feast of Tabernacles (13-22)

This feast celebrated the end of the harvest. For seven days they were to live in little booths as they had in the wilderness, and remember God's grace in the desert. Because of his grace, they were to be joyful, to follow justice, and to worship God alone in the Promised Land.

Application: Lord, help me to remember your grace and live with a thankful heart.
One Word: Remember God's grace and rejoice
