The Significance Of Shavuot to Christians (blog post) thebiblicalnutritionist.com/why-christians-celebrate-shavuot/
Today it’s all about why we should celebrate Shavuot. Why should Christians celebrate Shavuot? Yes, it's one of the feast of our Lord. And it has incredible significance to each one of us. Yet I have never been encouraged to celebrate it before. Well, this year I am!
Here are 5 reasons Christians should celebrate Shavuot.
1. Fire, Thunder and Lightning!
Shavuot is a reminder of God's laws written on the tablets of stone. It helps us to always be reminded how God delivered the laws to Moses on Mount Sinai. That's reason enough to celebrate the Feast of Weeks, which is also Shavuot. We need reminders of what God has given us. We needed the Holy Spirit to bring to remembrance all that God's word teaches us.
2. God’s Promises.
Jesus delivers his promise. And he's still delivering on his promises today and Shavuot is about deliverance from bondage, and also deliverance from the evil of this world. God is spirit and those who worship Him must worship Him in spirit and truth.
3. Languages
Now in my upbringing, we rarely talked about Pentecost because it brought up that hard to answer question about tongues. Okay? Well, this is really not hard to explain when it is learned in the context of the original language of the time when God delivered the tablets of stone, the laws, the laws in Exodus 20, it says that the people perceived that the thunder and the lightning and the flashes and, and the sound of the trumpet and the, and the mountain smoking. And when all the people saw it, they trembled, and they just stood at a distance. This thundering is each person hearing God's voice.
The tongues in Acts are the languages to spread the gospel to all of the people, the Israelites on the mountain, we're hearing God speak, the people outside the room where the disciples and all of the people were gathered. We're being given the gift of the Holy Spirit. Well, the people outside we're hearing the gospel for the first time in their own language.
4. Thanksgiving
Shavuot is about a feast of Thanksgiving, thanking God for the harvest. Remember the book of Ruth, it was the barley harvest and then we have the wheat harvest.
When people were bringing gifts as a sacrifice. Well, we too need to celebrate with the feast of Thanksgiving, thanking God for the complete assurance that through the gift of the Holy Spirit that we have a helper teaching our kids about the Holy Spirit and how it guides us on a daily basis. That is the reason to have a feast of thanksgiving.
5. Leaven
The leaven at Passover is removed from the entire home because it represents sin in our lives. In Shavuot we were given a new leaven. It means teachings and we are not to be learning from those Pharisees, which could include today's traditions or doctrines, we are instead to learn from God's word.
