Hanakkuh is coming up. You may ask: what is 'Hanakkuh'? Hanakkuh is a Jewish holiday, and one with a very interesting history, it is a remembrance of a special miracle. It is a celebration of how God supernaturally made 1 days oil for the lamps of the Temple burn for 8 days, and that allowed the Jews to purify the Temple and get it ready for the coming of their Messiah – 'The Light of the World' (John 8:12). The history is fascinating, and even more fascinating is to see how the events that took place point to their Messiah – Y'shua in Hebrew and 'Jesus' in English. This is a great time to study up and reach out to your Jewish friends, graciously pointing them to the “Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world” (John 1:29). The Jewish people are always needing friends in this cruel society, so we encourage you to be bold and reach out to them.
