Deeper Christian Podcast • Episode 183

The Jewish festival of Hanukkah (also known as the Festival of Lights or the Feast of Dedication) was a celebration to remember the provision and miracle God did with the oil in the Temple about 200 years before Jesus.

Some scholars believe Jesus was likely born during this eight-day celebration, and we know that in John 10 we find Jesus celebrating the holiday down at the Temple.

Regardless, the Festival of Lights is a reminder of the True Light, Jesus Christ. He is the Light of the world, even amidst a culture that loves darkness and hates the light.

In this episode, we are reminded that regardless of what culture does or how dark it gets, Jesus is the Light and we should purposefully use this season to celebrate and focus on Him.
