Several years ago my husband and I read a devotion about the significance of observing Hanukkah as a Christian. Since Jesus was Jewish, we thought it would be interesting. I will post each evening's devotion for any who wish to experience it with us. (scroll down)

The seventh candle: The Sabbath rest that God gives. God did not rest because He was tired. He rested on the Sabbath as an example for us. It is the rest that could not be given in Joshua's day because of the disbelief of the people. Read Genesis 2:1-3 and Hebrews 4:1-11.
