can we keep the feasts without a priest
it's time to unlearn the lies hey
welcome to unlearn my name is Lex and
I'd like to invite you to join us each
week as we unlearn the lies and dig
deeper into the truth of God's Word now
let's get started I've heard people
argue that we cannot keep the feasts
because we have no Levites and no temple
therefore we cannot offer the sacrifices
required at the feasts they say things
like we can only practice the feasts and
they argue that no one can keep the
feasts because there is no temple and no
priesthood I used to say the same thing
but I was wrong we are the only ones who
can truly keep the feasts because we are
the only ones who have a high priest who
serves in the heavenly tabernacle he is
greater than all the other priests and
his sacrifices and offerings are the
only ones that can truly redeem us also
there were many priests because they
were prevented by death from continuing
but he because he continues forever has
an unchangeable priesthood therefore he
is also able to save to the uttermost
those who come to God through him since
he always lives to make intercession for
them for such a high priest was fitting
for us who is holy harmless undefiled
separate from sinners and has become
higher than the heavens who does not
need daily as those high priests to
offer up sacrifices first for his own
sins and then for the people's for this
he did once for all when he offered up
himself it's true that we have no
earthly priests and no earthly temple so
we cannot offer the sacrifices here
anymore but we do have a high priest who
serves in the heavenly tabernacle if you
say that we have no priest and no temple
then you are forgetting about Yeshua our
great high priest and Redeemer the Bible
tells us that the priesthood was changed
and we no longer go through the Levites
for sacrifices listen to what the book
of Hebrews says about our new high
priest and how he serves on the Day of
Atonement Yom Kippur now when these
things had been thus prepared the
priests always went into the first part
of the
a vertical performing the services but
into the second part the high priest
went alone once a year not without blood
which he offered for himself and for the
people's sins committed in ignorance the
Holy Spirit indicating this that the way
into the holiest of all was not yet made
manifest while the first tabernacle was
still standing it was symbolic for the
present time in which both gifts and
sacrifices are offered which cannot make
him who perform the service perfect in
regard to the conscience concerned only
with foods and drinks various washings
of fleshly ordinances imposed until the
time of the Reformation but Christ came
as high priest of the good things to
come with the greater and more perfect
Tabernacle not made with hands that is
not of this creation not with the blood
of goats and calves but with his own
blood he entered the most holy place
once for all having obtained eternal
Redemption forth the blood of bulls and
goats and the ashes of a heifer
sprinkling the unclean sanctifies for
the purifying of the flesh how much more
shall the blood of Christ who through
the Eternal Spirit offered himself
without spot to God cleanse your
conscience from dead works to serve the
Living God and for this reason he is the
mediator of a new covenant by means of
death for the redemption of the
transgressions under the first covenant
that those who are called may receive
the promise of the eternal inheritance
so when we keep the feasts we can do so
with full confidence that we have a
great high priest who intercedes for us
before the throne of God we have a
perfect high priest who offers the
perfect sacrifice of his own blood we
can also rest assured that we have a
better covenant through Yeshua because
of this now this is the main point of
the thing we are saying we have such a
high priest who is seated at the right
hand of the throne of the Majesty in the
heavens a minister of the sanctuary and
of the true Tabernacle which the Lord
erected and not man for every high
priest is appointed to offer both gifts
and sacrifices therefore it's necessary
that this one all
have something to offer for if he were
on earth he would not be a priest since
there are priests who offer the gifts
according to the law who served the copy
and shadow of the heavenly things as
Moses was divinely instructed when he
was about to make the tabernacle for he
said see that you make all these things
according to the pattern shown to you on
the mountain but now he has obtained a
more excellent ministry in as much as he
is also a mediator of a better covenant
which was established on better promises
for if that first covenant had been
faultless then no place would have been
sought for a second the Bible also tells
us that Yeshua does not need to offer
the yom kippur sacrifices every year but
that he only needed to offer it once for
all so when we keep the feasts of Yom
Kippur there is no longer any need for
yearly sacrifices and we need to only
place our faith in his atoning sacrifice
and according to the law almost all
things are purified with blood and
without the shedding of blood there is
no remission therefore it was necessary
that the copies of the things in the
heavens should be purified with these
but the heavenly things themselves with
better sacrifices than these for Christ
has not entered the holy place made with
hands which are copies of the truth but
into heaven itself now to appear in the
presence of God for us not that he
should offer himself often as the high
priest enters the most holy place every
year with the blood of another he then
would have had to suffer often since the
foundation of the world but now once at
the end of the ages he has appeared to
put away sin by the sacrifice of himself
the Bible tells us that one of the
reasons why you sure came as a man was
so that he could sympathize with us and
have compassion on us this is part of
what qualifies him to become our high
priest for every high priest taken from
among men is appointed for men in things
pertaining to God that he may offer both
gifts and sacrifices for sins he can
have compassion on those who are
ignorant and going astray since he
himself is also subject to weakness
because of this he is required as for
the people so also for himself to offer
sacrifices for sins
therefore in all things he had to be
made like his brethren that he might be
a merciful and faithful high priest in
things pertaining to God to make
propitiation for the sins of the people
he knows the challenges and temptations
we face and he is able to sympathize
with our weakness that's why we were
able to come to the Father through him
to obtain grace and mercy seeing then
that we have a great high priest who has
passed through the heavens Jesus the Son
of God let us hold fast to our
confession for we do not have a high
priest who cannot sympathize with our
weakness but was in all points tempted
as we are yet without sin let us
therefore come boldly to the throne of
grace that we may obtain mercy and find
grace to help in time of need however we
cannot approach him with pride and
arrogance we must approach with humility
and a repentant heart
we must come seeking grace and mercy not
demanding anything from him when you
stand before the king you must fall on
your face
we must humble ourselves seek his face
and turn from our wicked ways
if you've sure has done the work of
salvation and offered up the only
sacrifice that is needed then what is
left for us to sacrifice on the feast
days we are told to offer up a sacrifice
of praise to God
therefore by him let us continually
offer up the sacrifice of praise to God
that is the fruit of our lips giving
thanks to his name we're also told to
offer up our bodies as a living
sacrifice I beseech you therefore
brethren by the mercies of God that you
present your bodies a living sacrifice
holy acceptable to God which is your
reasonable service this means our life
is not our own if we have offered it up
to him then we must do his will and not
our own if our body is offered up to him
then we must do what is pleasing to him
no longer living like the heathen but
rather living holy and sanctified lives
dedicated to his service
