Zechariah 8:19
Thus says the LORD of hosts: The fast of the fourth month and the fast of the fifth and the fast of the seventh and the fast of the tenth shall be to the house of Judah seasons of joy and gladness and cheerful feasts. Therefore love truth and peace.
Jesus turned the tables. He turned fasts into feasts. He changed seasons of lent into seasons of lavishness and made empty expectation give way to full realization.
God has everlasting pleasure at His right hand and those who love truth and peace will party like they believe it. Seasons of joy, gladness, and cheerful feasting are preparing us for eternity. We need to get fit for feasting. We are in sorry shape. We get tired of joy far too quickly. So, let's practice partying and get ourselves into feasting trim.
