The Passover was only allowed in one specific place of God's appointing because it involved sacrificial killing of lambs. Now we have no such specific place for Gentile believers but Gentiles are included in Christ nonetheless. We have no enduring site for sacrifices. Even the Jews have had centuries without a Temple for sacrifices such as Passover sacrifices. Jesus Christ, the Son of Man, has had blood flow from hands and feet and head and side. This Lamb of God was chosen for this by God as the only worthy pure sacrifice. So no need exists for Passover lambs sacrificed yearly nor any yearly feast requiring male participants to have been circumcised in their body. Hebrews 2:17 "Therefore, He had to be made like His brethren in all things, so that He might become a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people." Yet He could say to them "Before Abraham was, I am" and now He has again the glory He had before the world began. Jesus has taught that the way to live to please God is to worship or serve God in Spirit and truth or as it is written in Philippians 3:3, to worship by the Spirit of God. Does the Spirit teach we who are Gentiles by birth but brought into Christ by faith to keep yearly feasts? No but He teaches the wonder of Jesus' Lordship and Authority and teaches the fear of God the Father of our Lord Jesus. Jesus said in John 4 that worshippers God wants will worship in spirit and truth. At that time the Holy Spirit was not yet given. Now the Holy Spirit is given but not to all. But as then and so too now those without the Holy Spirit given to them can if they believe still worship or serve God in spirit and truth. Jesus' words are spirit and truth. Jesus testified of God's word " Your word is truth". God spoke in the hearing of a few as recorded in the Gospels about Jesus "This is my beloved Son. Listen to Him." This then is truth to live and worship by. The words of Jesus in the Gospels and spoken these days too are all for us spirit and truth to worship and live by. The Holy Spirit brings it closer to home as He manifests Himself to believers. All this is truth and spirit by which to worship God, to serve God and to live to please God. Feasts year on year are not part of it for Gentiles but only spirit and truth. Feasts were only for Gentiles whose male family members were circumcised. This is not the way Jesus teaches to Gentiles. So rather than worshipping God with feasts which for Gentiles and Jews requires circumcision of male family members (Exodus states this) the way for us to worship is by the Holy Spirit or the spirit of the words of Jesus and what God says through Him and by glorying in Jesus. Philippians 3:3 "For it is we who are the circumcision, we who serve God by his Spirit, who boast in Christ Jesus, and who put no confidence in the flesh". This was surely written to both Jews and Gentiles who were believers living in the vicinity of Roman times Philippi. So believing is now so important and vital because it is to believers in the message of God that God gives the Spirit. Through following this way of Christ Jesus we find the truth in which to glory, that God Himself shows to us and demonstrates to us that Jesus is His Son, the Son of God. Then the Holy Spirit leads us into more truth about Jesus being made by God the Lord in whose name all creation fulfils God's purposes and is sustaimed and by this sustenance we too are sustained. And so we glory in Jesus. This is the way to please God in faith as our worshipful service to God whether Jew or Gentile. God makes things sometimes happen in our lives making us exclaim 'It is the Lord' and by the Spirit we then understand and say that it is Jesus who is the Lord. We say 'surely this is the Son of God' and again it is by the Spirit. So we continue and again our continuing is because we hang on the Spirit. All this and feasts not a part of it nor anything requiring anyone to be circumcised in their body but we have the Spirit instead who is all we need to fit us to God's new covenant requirement for this new way of worship that God gives us.
