Should believers celebrate the birth of the Messiah?

Should Jews or Gentiles alike who believes in him celebrate this festival?

Because a lot of people are telling me, Amir, you're a Jewish man,

how can you even believe that God has a son?

We must reset our brains in order to understand the events of 2,000 years ago.

We must literally take our index finger, press right here, and try to go all the way back 2,000 years

ago in order to avoid misinterpretation and confusion. Shalom everyone. I'm here right in the mountains of the tribe of Judah not too far

from the city of Bethlehem. I drove this morning all the way from the

surroundings of the city of Nazareth about an hour and a half drive to this

location and this is the time of the year where Jewish people celebrate the festival of

Hanukah and Christians worldwide are celebrating Christmas.

Interestingly enough, both Hanukah and Christmas

are traditional holidays.

These are not holidays that the Bible commands us to celebrate.

They are not mentioned in Leviticus 23 as the feasts of the Lord.

Both Hanukah and Christmas are marking events that took place way after the

Old Testament was written. And yet, millions around the world are celebrating these two.

And it's very interesting because according to John Chapter 10

verses 22 to 29 Jesus himself came to Jerusalem and celebrated the

Feast of Dedication, Hanukai Hebrew. Yet it wasn't about the Maccabees, it wasn't about the

victory over the Greek, it was actually to speak about his deity.

He took advantage of this opportunity.
