Why is the Feast of In-Gathering important for Christians?

The Feast of In-Gathering, also called the Feast of Booths, serves as a reminder of God's faithfulness during Israel's time in the wilderness and their eventual entry into the Promised Land. As stated in Leviticus 23:39-43, this feast commemorates the gathering of crops and God’s provision for His people. It also emphasizes the importance of teaching the next generation about God's mighty acts of salvation, including their deliverance from Egypt. For Christians, this feast parallels our call to celebrate the ultimate deliverance provided through Christ's sacrifice. Observing the Lord's Supper relates to this feast, as it symbolizes our union with Christ and the spiritual nourishment He provides, reminding us of His grace and the hope of sharing in His eternal harvest.
