The Feast of Unleavened Bread in the New Testament times

-World Mission Society Church Of God Which keeps the The Feast of Unleavened Bread-

If the Feast of Unleavened Bread in the Old Testament times is the feast to remember the hardships at the time of the Exodus, the Feast of the Unleavened Bread in the New Testament times is celebrated to remember Christ’s sufferings on the cross. So, Jesus said, “But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them, and on that day they will fast (Matthew 9:15, Mark 2:20, Luke 5:35).

In the Bible, the bridegroom indicates Jesus. The day when Jesus suffered and died on the cross was the Feast of Unleavened Bread the day after the Passover, namely the day when the bridegroom was taken. It was on the fifteenth day of the first month according to the sacred calendar. This is why all Christians in the new covenant hold worship and fast on the Feast of Unleavened Bread every year, to remember Christ’s true love; His infinite love enduring all hardships to save all mankind

Acts 20:6 But we sailed from Philippi after the Feast of Unleavened Bread, and five days later joined the others at Troas, where we stayed seven days.

Paul, Luke and his parity celebrated the Feast of Unleavened Bread while staying in Philippi, one of the regions of Macedonia.  The word, ‘we sailed from Philippi after the Feast of Unleavened Bread’ represents that they kept the Feast of Unleavened Bread in Philippi and then left.

Jesus said to the Jews, “"If you were Abraham's children," "then you would do the things Abraham did.” This can be interpreted that those who do not do the things Abraham did are not Abraham’s children. The members of the Early Church were given the name, ‘Christian’, for they not only believed Jesus Christ sincerely but kept a pure faith following the teachings of Christ.

If we are true Christians, then we should do the things Christ did. Only those who participate in fasting on the Feast of Unleavened Bread when the bridegroom was taken are true. Christ died on the cross after eating the last supper of the Passover. Christ became the sacrificial offering according to the feast. The Feast of Unleavened Bread is a very precious law of Christ which the disciples and saints of the Early Church kept.

According to this teaching of Jesus, WMSCOG keeps the The Feast of Unleavened Bread.
