On the last day of the Feast of Tabernacles, I had the privilege of teaching a group of teens from our homeschool group about the Feast. We talked about its origin and looked up many verses about how YHWH tabernacled with us – including sending His only Son to “dwell” or “sukkah” with us.
Sitting out with the bugs and the breeze blowing definitely helped us to be grateful that this world is not our permanent home – our Savior went to build us a new home, not made by the hands of men. Also, our bodies are just an “earthly tent” – someday we will have perfect, glorified bodies.
The weather was nice, but this being SW Florida, there were plenty of mosquitos. We endured and I think the kids (and moms who attended) definitely took home a new understanding of this wonderful celebration.
