Things Celebrated at the Feast of Tabernacles
Text: John 7: 37-38
THINGS CELEBRATED AT THE FEAST OF TABERNACLES
This Feast is celebrated for a whole week. The focus of the Feast of Tabernacles recalls the period of history when the children of Israel spent forty years in the Wilderness. What were some of the things that were remembered? Four things may be highlighted:
1. God’s provision of manna
2. God’s provision of water
3. God’s protection
4. God’s presence
(The account of the children of Israel’s 40-year journey in the Wilderness is found in the Books of Exodus and Numbers.)
AT THE END OF THE FEAST OF TABERNACLES
Jesus, the Master-Teacher that He was seized the opportunity to preach a wonderfully-relevant message at the end of the Feast of Tabernacles.
“On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, ‘If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scriptures has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.’”
John 7:37-38
1. The miraculous provision in ancient days
a. Of manna.
b. Of water.
2. The miraculous provision in the present
a. Jesus is the Bread of life.
b. He offers living water.
3. A gracious invitation to all who are spiritually thirsty
a. To come to Jesus for the living water.
b. Jesus offered this living water to the woman of Samaria (John 4:10, 14).
c. He offers this living water to all… then and now.
4. “He who believes in Me”
a. He offered more than the quenching of thirst.
b. He offered a life that is likened to rivers of living water.
What a wonderful invitation from the Lord Jesus to come to him in faith!
经文: 约翰福音 7：37-38
住棚节所庆祝的事项
住棚节的庆祝持续一周。遵守这节日的重点是为了记念以色列人在旷野漂流了四十年。有哪些事项是被记念的呢？我们可以强调四件事：
1.上帝提供吗哪
2.上帝提供水
3.上帝的保护
4.上帝的同在
（以色列人在旷野中度过的四十年之旅被记载在出埃及记和民数记中。）
住棚节结束前
在住棚节结束前，耶稣，我们的大师，趁这时抓紧机会宣告了一个跟他们有相应关系的话语。
“节期的末日，就是最大之日，耶稣站着高声说：‘人若渴了，可以到我这里来喝！信我的人就如经上所说，从他腹中要流出活水的江河来。’”
