I can never think of the spring feast days without thinking of its analogy to canning, which, it turns out, is an analogy for what God is doing in our lives. The first step in canning is sterilizing your equipment and jars. Every last microbe must be removed, and that is what Passover + Unleavened Bread is all about. Get that leaven / sin out because if it’s left to multiply it is death! Then the now sterile jar is filled with its clean contents, which correlates to the Feast of Firstfruits (Resurrection Sunday). New life, new hearts, death kicked to the curb! And the final feast in the scenario is coming up this weekend … because all that sterilizing will go to absolute waste if you don’t seal the contents to PRESERVE the new life for the day of its revelation! #HappyShavuot
