<strong>Sons</strong> <strong>To</strong> <strong>Glory</strong><br />

stumbling block for their generation. It is unfortunate that there are<br />

many people in the “Messianic Jewish” and “Hebrew Roots”<br />

movements that take these truths to extremes and put an overemphasis<br />

on the order (Feasts) instead of the content (Jesus). But it has always<br />

been a tactic of the enemy to discredit truth by pushing it to an overemphasis.<br />

People who do not have first things first (a relationship with<br />

Jesus) will be out of balance in one form or another anyway.<br />

Following God’s order is never a burden or a distraction when we do it<br />

in the Spirit, and we need to start talking about these issues because<br />

having a proper understanding of the law and the Feast days are a big<br />

part of God restoring ORDER to His body. I certainly don’t claim to<br />

have the total revelation on this issue. It is going to take a company of<br />

revelation from the Lord to bring further light on this subject.<br />

Ephesians 2:14-16 says that Jesus broke down the wall of division<br />

between Jew and Gentile and we are now ONE NEW MAN reconciled<br />

to God through the cross. So, Jesus is not coming back for a Jewish<br />

bride and a Gentile bride. He is coming back for ONE Bride.<br />

Therefore, we can’t just say, “well, let the Jews do their feasts, and I’ll<br />

do whatever I want.” There is a biblical order that these “appointed<br />

times” bring to our worship and we must find the proper balance.<br />

Common “Jewish Questions”<br />

There are many good questions as to why we should still honor God’s<br />

law and celebrate His Feast days. I will try to address some of the<br />

more common questions that I have received over the years:<br />

Question: Why would we go backward under the law and follow the<br />

Jewish laws instead of forward toward grace and freedom?<br />

Answer: Jesus came “full of grace AND TRUTH.” GRACE and<br />

Freedom can only be founded upon the TRUTH of God’s eternal law.<br />

Without the foundation of law, you would never have known grace.<br />

You cannot throw out the foundation once you have found something<br />

better. They build on each other. We need both. Liberty is the goal of<br />

our democracy in America, but it is our legal system that preserves that<br />

liberty. Rom 3:31 says, “Do we then make void the law through faith?<br />
