Lighting the candlestick in honor and celebration of Hanukkah through the eyes of a follower of Jesus Christ.
Rain begins the morning,
Dark and grey to stay.
Lighting the seventh candle, remembering Jesus,
I AM
All you need in any situation,
I AM providing the way.
Lighting the seventh candle brings my heart and mind to the beloved Gospel of John. John highlights seven miracles performed by Jesus. John also shares the seven times Jesus gave the people a visual of Who He is in the I AM statements.
John who rested his head on Jesus’ chest, who heard Jesus’ heartbeat knew…Jesus the same yesterday, today and forever. Hebrews 13:8 is all we need in life.
I AM the Bread of life John 6:35
I AM the Light of life. John 8:12
I AM the Door of life. John 10:9
I AM the Good Shepherd. John 10:14
I AM the resurrection and the life. John 11:25
I AM the way, truth and the life. John 14:6
I AM the true Vine. John 15:1
