Hanukkah Day 5: Re-dedicate your temple

Hanukkah Day 5
Lighting the menorah and blessings
Torah reading: Numbers 7:36 - 7:47

The word "Hanukkah" means dedication. And at this time we can think of the re-dedication of the temple in 165 BC and Yeshua's dedication of Himself as the true Temple of God. Then the Word of God says that each person's body is a temple:

1 Cor. 6:19-20 "Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body" (NIV).

Each person is a temple of the Living God. The God of all creation no longer dwells in a man-made tabernacle, He dwells inside His God-made people. So Hanukkah is not only a time to celebrate the history of the Maccabees, it's a time to celebrate God in your life and re-dedicate His temple: you. Me. I will take some time before Hanukkah ends and re-dedicate myself to the Lord. Will you?
