In this section, Moses describes 3 different feasts that the Lord requires Israel to celebrate in order to remember His faithfulness and to worship Him.
…while he does retell the Ten Commandments, it is interesting how much emphasis Moses puts on the reason for the law, and why it was so significant that God would talk with them face to face.
Let us take this reminder to heart and examine ourselves to see if we are trying to earn our salvation, and then blaming God when it does not turn out the way we want.
In this first parable, Jesus teaches His disciples that it is better to put others before yourselves and be celebrated for your humility, rather than promote yourself and lose everything.
Whenever evil strikes and darkness covers our world, as it has for the last year and a bit, we always want to ask why, and that is exactly what is happening here.
