Did Jesus Celebrate Hanukkah?
Today I share in under 5 minutes what I learned during Hanukkah!
I answer the question, “Did Jesus celebrate Hannukah?” and share some of the history behind the Festival of Dedication.
Enjoy the vlog and let me know your thoughts.
May the Lord bless you during this holy season with the wonder of His sweet presence.

More on Hanukkah
In the center of our menorah is a branch, that holds the candle known as the shamash. In Aramaic it means the servant. On many menorahs, the shamash is raised, sitting higher than the other candles.
To the right and to the left are four branches. On the first day, the shamash is lit, then is used to light the first candle on the right. On each successive day, another candle is lit until on the 8th day, all are lit. Again, the shamash is used as the light that brings light into the darkness.
Thank you Barbara.
You are welcome, Ted. I pray you have a wonderful Advent and Christmas season. Many blessings.
Jesus is not God ..He is the Son of God
Jesus is indeed the Son of God, Kim. Thank you for your comment. I appreciate you taking time to write.
As to Jesus being or not being God – that is a theological issue. I love Philippians 2 which says, the Messiah, existing in the form of God, emptied himself and took on himself the form of a servant and was made in the likeness of man. As a human, he humbled himself and became obedient unto death on the Cross.
Because of His obedience, God the Father has highly exalted the Messiah and given him a name above every name, that at the name of Yeshua, every knee shall bow, of those in heaven and on eretz and under the eretz. In that day, every tongue shall confess Yeshua the Messiah is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
This Yeshua who I love, has been both my Saviour and my LORD. My knees bow before Him and my tongue happily declares Him to be my God. I pray the Father God blesses you and fills you with His wonderful light. Have a blessed day, Kim.
