Dear family and friends,
I want to share something from my heart with you, because I love you deeply and want to share with you the beautiful truth which I have found.
Over time, as I have studied scripture more carefully, I’ve come to realize that the Bible never instructs Yahuah’s people to observe Good Friday or Easter.
👉🏾While I understand these traditions are common to many, I could not find their foundation in the word itself. Instead, I consistently saw something else..
Yahuah’s (God) own appointed times, established long before and still honored during the life of Yahusha (Jesus) and the early believers.
📖In Leviticus 23, Yahuah says, “These are My appointed feasts…holy convocations which you shall proclaim at their appointed times” (Leviticus 23:2).
🙌🏾Among these are Passover, the Feast of Unleavened Bread, and the Feast of Firstfruits. These are not called “Jewish feasts,” but the feasts of Yahuah.
👉🏾As I read the New Testament, I noticed something powerful: Yahusha didn’t replace these feasts..He fulfilled them in the most profound way.
👉🏾Passover points directly to Him as the Lamb. Scripture says, “Messiah, our Passover, has been sacrificed for us” (1 Corinthians 5:7).
👉🏾Just as the lamb’s blood brought deliverance in Exodus 12, Yahusha’s blood brings redemption and freedom from sin. Yahusha died at the exact time the Passover lambs were being sacrificed.
🙌🏾Unleavened Bread represents the putting away of sin. Leaven is often a picture of sin and pride in scripture, and we are told,
📖”Let us keep the feast, not with old leaven… but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth” (1 Corinthians 5:8). This is a picture of the Ruach Hakodesh cleansing us and leading us in the sanctification process until we are made into the image of Messiah.
👉🏾The number 7 represents wholeness or completeness. He won’t stop working on us until we are made completely new and spotless.
🍏 Firstfruits is about resurrection and promise. Yahusha rose from the dead on this very day, becoming “the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep” (1 Corinthians 15:20). His resurrection wasn’t random..it fulfilled the exact timing and meaning of Yahuah’s appointed feast.
👀 What I see is that these observances were not only practiced before Messiah, but continued afterward and will be observed when Messiah returns.
In Acts 20:6, we see the disciples observing the days of Unleavened Bread. In Acts 20:16, Paul is eager to be in Jerusalem for the feasts. These weren’t abandoned..they were lived out with even greater meaning in light of Messiah. When Yeshua returns, Messiah leads us in these feasts (Ezekiel 45, Zechariah 14, Isaiah 2, Micah 4, etc.)
👉🏾I also noticed that Scripture never tells us to commemorate the crucifixion on a specific weekday like “Good Friday,” nor does it command the celebration of the resurrection through Easter traditions. Instead, Yahuah had already established His timeline, His symbols, and His appointed days.
Looking further into the matter, Good Friday was a misunderstanding imposed upon the church by the Catholics.
The Messiah died, he died on a Wednesday night on Passover. Friday to Sunday does not make three nights and three days. The Catholics did not realize that the Sabbath, before which they got Messiah‘s body after the cross was the first day of unleavened bread, not the weekly Sabbath.
Furthermore, Easter eggs, bunnies, and the very word Easter are all rooted in Babylonian mythology and pagan goddesses. Clearly they have nothing to do with the Messiah‘s resurrection and are not found in the scripture.
Because of this, I have chosen to align my life with what I see clearly written and practiced in scripture. So rather than observing Good Friday and Easter, my family WILL HONOR Passover, Unleavened Bread, and Firstfruits… celebrating not just traditions, but the very works Yahuah has designed.
👉🏾This is not about rejecting others or judging anyone’s heart. It is simply about My desire to walk as closely as I ok can in obedience and truth.
As it says in Deuteronomy 12:32, “Whatever I command you, be careful to observe it; you shall not add to it nor take away from it.”
I love you, and I share this with humility and sincerity. My hope is always to follow Ruach Hakodesh (Holy Spirit) wherever it leads, and to honor the Messiah in the way He Himself walked.
Thank you for hearing my heart.
I love you and desire you to be set free in the truth as we have been.
I am a true believer that if it’s clean in the word. It’s clean for you.
I’m not scared of the world thinking that I’m strange.. I fear Yahuah because even though the world tries to change him, changed his name 6,800 times in the Bible, his ways and his laws.. Yahuah has never changed.
Blessed Passover week
Shabbat Shalom
