As we lit the candles on the first night of Chanukah, and as Christmas will soon be here, the Lord showed me how the scarlet thread of redemption and deliverance runs through both holidays/observances.
Chanukah celebrates the deliverance of God's people, the Jews, from their oppressors,Antiochus IV Epiphanes, and Christmas is the celebration of the advent/ birth of Jesus The Messiah, the Saviour and Deliverer of all mankind, past, present, & future.
A seemingly different storyline, but the same theme. Only the Lord can rescue us, and He has made a way for us. This season think about God's eternal provision for us, and how he saved and delivered us, and how very much He loves us!
