Nice try, but I'm afraid it's quite a tortured attempt.

The holy days actually shadow and portend significant events…

No, they mark events that have already happened.

The jewish holy days commemorate major historical events in the history of the jews. Passover commemorates - Passover. The Exodus from Egypt.

This is what the jews of Jesus's time on earth observed. And what they observe now. That one. Ask any jew.

What is the jewish religious day celebrating the resurrection of the Messiah? None.

There was no celebration of this at the time of Jesus's human incarnation. Which is why celebrating only those events would either make us jews or freeze our religion and church before the time of the risen Christ. Our religious observances are different than the jews of Jesus's time. Because our history is different.

So, unlike the jews of Jesus's time or today, we celebrate the Passover Sacrifice of Christ, a different passover than jews celebrate. Christians celebrate the resurrection of the Messiah, Christ. Last night and today we celebrate it.

I wish you would join us, in the history and wonder or this Christian religious celebration.

So you see no signifcane in the fact that Paul calls Jesus Christ our Passover? You also don't see any connection between the Passover lamb and Jesus Christ? Those with the blood of the lamb were spared death in Egypt and those with the blood of the lamb now are spared death?

You don't see any significange in the fact that God poured out his holy spirit on Pentecost...a "Jewish" festival?

That would be because Jews don't believe that Jesus Christ was the Messiah. In addition, the Jewish religion doesn't own God's holy days.

That's all well and good, but it's not what Jesus Christ did.

Luk 22:15 And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer:

Jesus Christ thought that the Passover was so important that it was one of the things he wished to celebrate before his passion.

If that history did not make the word of God of no effect then I wouldn't have a problem observing it. But for now I'm going to do what God said to do and what Jesus Christ did.

Mar 7:13 Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.
