Jesus Celebrated Hanukkah
The “Festival of Dedication” is Hanukkah, which celebrates that rededication of the Temple under the Maccabees, about 200 years before the time of Jesus. Jesus celebrated Hanukkah. How cool is that?!
“Do not believe me unless I do the works of my Father. But if I do them, even though you do not believe me, believe the works, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.” —John 10:37-38
I think what Jesus says here makes so much sense: you can decide you don’t believe him, but you can’t deny his works. The Resurrection is hard to explain away!
