Hanukkah, Day 1

Posted on December 18, 2022 | Comments Off on Hanukkah, Day 1

Hanukkah, or Chanukah, means dedication. (If you don’t know the story, you can look it up. I won’t take the space to tell it here.) Hanukkah is an eight-day celebration of the rededication of the Temple after the Maccabean Revolt.

Paul wrote to the Roman believers that they should dedicate themselves to God.

Romans 12:1 “I appeal to you, therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.”

We are more than just believers in the Messiah. We are more than just followers of the One True God. We are slaves to righteousness (Romans 6:15-23). We are part of the Family of God. It’s part of our worship to dedicate ourselves to Him.

How can you dedicate yourself this week? The seven ways of dedication will be posted daily this week.

Happy Hanukkah!
