Encouragement Along the Way



Glorify the Lord with me; let us exalt his name together.

Psalm 34:3

Dec. 5, 2007
Jesus in Chanukah
 

John 10: 22-30 says this in the Living Bible Translation

22 It was now winter, and Jesus was in Jerusalem at the time of Hanukkah. 23 He was at the Temple, walking through the section known as Solomon's Colonnade. 24 The Jewish leaders surrounded him and asked, "How long are you going to keep us in suspense? If you are the Messiah, tell us plainly." 25 Jesus replied, "I have already told you, and you don't believe me. The proof is what I do in the name of my Father. 26 But you don't believe me because you are not part of my flock. 27 My sheep recognize my voice; I know them, and they follow me. 28 I give them eternal life, and they will never perish. No one will snatch them away from me, 29 for my Father has given them to me, and he is more powerful than anyone else. So no one can take them from me. 30 The Father and I are one."

 

This was a time to celebrate Miracles and Jesus is trying to explain “Plainly” that during this time to celebrate the of Miracles of God, He is the greatest Miracle of all. The Proof is in what I do in the Name of the Father. The Maccabees did not save the people, God saved the People. The Temple that they rededicated is no less a temple than the one Jesus is now asking us to rededicate to God the same way. Believe the Miracles, know who I am, Rededicate yourself to God. And still today most do not see it.

 

He is the “Light” of the Celebration. Jesus the Light of the World came as a Servant candle to light us ablaze with the Truth. To make us the Light burning brightly for all to see. Jesus, Himself said I did not come to be served but to serve.

 

My prayer is that you will see it, lighted candle by Lighted candle. Jesus is very visible in Chanukah; just as He is Visible in the Passover and every other Celebration. They are all designed to bring us to the Messiah, to train our Children and be set apart from the world.

About Me

2 Corinthians 1:3-4 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of Compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God. This blog is a homeschooling devotional from a bubbe's point of view or watching the next generation excel where I only succeeded.
