Let Us Go up to Keep the Feast: Songs of the Pilgrims

By Robin Webber in Las Vegas, NV, Redlands, CA, San Diego, CA - September 11, 2021 - The remaining autumn festivals are right around the corner. A question: Are you preparing now to experience and express your God-given holy vocation as a disciple of Christ or merely planning a religious vacation? How did the pilgrims of old approach God's presence as they "went up to Jerusalem"? What was on their minds, hearts and tongues as they approached where God had placed His name? The "Songs of the Pilgrims" ("The Psalms of Ascent"-Psalms 120-134) offers us-The Israel of God" (Galatians 6:16) a pathway to grow in the grace and knowledge of the ultimate pilgrim---Jesus of Nazareth.
