Jesus "Tabernacled" Among Us (Jn. 1:14) - Feast of Tabernacles

In today's lesson, we look at the final of the seven holidays – the Festival of Tabernacles.

This festival is the dress rehearsal for Heaven, and it celebrates the fullness of redemption! And it is the only holiday we are commanded to celebrate with Joy before the LORD.

Understanding the Festival of Tabernacles is central to understanding the message of the Gospel of John and how the "word" came to "tabernacle" among us.

We also find Jesus attending this dynamic festival in the Gospel of John.

It is through understanding the first-century context of Tabernacles that the words and actions of Jesus come alive and enrich our reading of the Biblical text.
