Chanukkah
Rededication Unto The LORD (by CindyGirl)

Chanukkah, by CindyGirl
Open Lesson Plan → Open Handout →

Life is hard and sometimes we fall, but God is faithful and willing to forgive us when we go to Him earnestly in repentance. Today we will be studying what it means to rededicate ourselves unto the LORD[cite: 48].

In 2 Samuel 7, King David desired to build a temple for the Lord, and his son Solomon built and dedicated that house of God (2 Chronicles 7)[cite: 48]. Centuries later, when Antiochus IV Epiphanes desecrated the altar, the Maccabees cleansed and rededicated the temple[cite: 48]. Just as that temple was set apart, our bodies are temples of the Holy Ghost (1 Corinthians 6:19-20)[cite: 48]. Whenever life bruises or discourages us, we can return to our Father and rededicate our hearts[cite: 48]!

2 Peter 3:9: “The LORD is not slack concerning HIS promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.”[cite: 48]

Psalm 139:14: “I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are Thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.”[cite: 48]

Happy Chanukkah! GOD Bless You All. : )[cite: 48]

Follow Up Bible Activity — Bible Skit:[cite: 48]

Have the children act this passage out[cite: 48]! Some will take the role of the Shepherds, another can be the Angel of the Lord, others can be the multitude of angels, and finally we need a few for the roles of Mary, Joseph, and the child Jesus[cite: 48].

Close in Prayer.[cite: 48]
