Today in Exodus chapter 23 we read about the Festival of Unleavened Bread, the Festival of Harvest, and the Festival of Final Harvest (also known as Festival of Booths or Ingathering or Tabernacles).  Commentary on Exodus chapter 24, entitled “The Magnificent Meal on Mt. Sinai” is at bible.org at this link.  This old covenant meal was a foreshadowing of Jesus’ new covenant Last Supper with his disciples just before his death and resurrection. In chapter 24 Moses is called up on the mountain for forty days and forty nights – similarly Jesus spent forty days and forty nights in the desert after his baptism and before beginning his public ministry. Below is a wonderful image by C.F. Vos of Moses receiving the Law from God on Mount Sinai:

Please join us in memorizing and meditating on a verse of Scripture today: “When Moses went and told the people all the LORD’s words and laws, they responded with one voice, ‘Everything the LORD has said we will do.’” Exodus 24:3 NIV

Prayer Point: Pray that you will do everything that the LORD has said you should do, by God’s grace, and through a saving faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior.
