Scripture: “Live in temporary shelters for seven days… so your descendants will know that I had the Israelites live in temporary shelters when I brought them out of Egypt.” – Leviticus 23:42–43
“The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us.” – John 1:14
The journey of Teshuvah does not end with Yom Kippur—it flows into Sukkot, the Feast of Tabernacles. After cleansing comes celebration. We remember God’s provision in the wilderness and rejoice in His presence dwelling with us.
Messianic believers see Sukkot as a picture of Yeshua tabernacling among us and the future Kingdom when God will dwell with humanity. Repentance leads not to despair but to joy in His presence.
Reflection: – How can you celebrate God’s presence in your life this week? – What does it mean to you that Yeshua “tabernacles” with you?
Prayer: God who dwells with us, thank You for Your presence. Let my life be a sukkah for Your Spirit. Fill me with joy as I celebrate Your Kingdom here and now. Amen.
