Jesus Celebrates Hanukkah - God's Feasts (pt. 12)

In John 10:22, he tells us that Jesus celebrated Hanukkah - or the Feast of Dedication in English.

Hanukkah celebrates a historical event in 165 BCE, led by the Maccabees family, which ultimately won the Israelites their religious and political freedoms.

Join us in this lesson as we explore the historical background leading up to this holiday and how the impact of this victory was still inspiring the Zealots – including Paul – in the first century.
