I attended all of the feasts, but I love the Feast of Tabernacles. It is a great time for families to gather together under their sukkot to eat their meals with each other for seven days. I used to look up to the heavens through the thinly thatched sukkot roof. I knew My Father was looking down from His throne room as My family gathered to fellowship.
I well remember the time when I could not celebrate this wonderful feast with My family. Jerusalem was all a stir, and many religious Jews sought to kill Me. My brothers wanted me to go to celebrate in Jerusalem. Even though they did not believe in Me at the time, they wanted Me to do some miracles for the people.
I told them that I would go later, and I did. I stood in the shadows as I watched My family enjoying their delicious feast food under their sukkot. I experienced the loneliness that many rejected people feel. They often feel that they are on the outside looking in at people who are surrounded by loved ones. Suddenly My presence was revealed to all during the water libation service. I cried, "If any man thirst, let him come to Me and drink!" I was speaking about the Holy Spirit who could fill their inner beings full of powerful, spiritual rivers of water. I give the same invitation to you today. Come and drink from the wells of salvation.
