Day 7 | The Ross Family
John 7:1-5
Lampstand and the Living Water
As we begin this wonderful holiday season, it is
imperative that we take some time to realize the
significance of the Festival of Tabernacles. This was a time
of great joy and served as a reminder of God’s
deliverance, protection, provision, and faithfulness. During
this time, offerings were presented to the Lord. Four giant
lampstands (imagine a 70-foot lamp!) were lit and are
believed to have been so bright that each courtyard in
Jerusalem was lit up by them. Water was drawn each
morning, carried to the temple, and poured on the altar in
a great offering. Yeshua declared that He would pour out
the Holy Spirit on those that believed in Him. The water
came from The Pool of Siloam, which was known as the
“living water.” Jesus, being fully God and man, knew the
significance of this ceremony and knew that He is the light
that penetrates the darkness, the final, great sacrifice, and
the only living water. Hallelujah! Through all the busyness
that the season brings, let’s take a moment to reflect on the
deliverance, protection, provision, and faithfulness of our
Lord, Jesus Christ. Think of one way you or your family can
show Jesus and be the light to others.
