Hanukkah is almost here! Hanukkah was and remains one of the most joyful celebrations in Israel’s history. Gentile Christians are starting to come to terms with the fact that Jesus is Jewish and salvation is of the Jews. They are realizing that they are grafted into a Jewish olive tree (Romans 11) and are full citizens in the Israel of God (Ephesians 2). Additionally, Christians are surprised to discover that Hanukkah is in the New Testament! They may not understand what it is nor why Jesus would be in Jerusalem during this festival, but their spiritual antennas seem to be up and they are becoming increasingly inquisitive. In this teaching we will unpack the mystery of the reference to Hanukkah in John 10:22-23. You will be pleasantly enlightened by the illumination of this Jewish Festival called Hanukkah!
