Jesus, born at Tabernacles, fulfils the feast of Tabernacles, as He left His home in Glory and came to dwell in a frail mortal body that night in Bethlehem.
He is GOD in our midst.
Jesus is the Tabernacle of GOD. In Him all the fullness of GOD dwells (John 1:14). "For in Him (Christ) dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily" (Col 2:9) .
The ultimate fulfillment will be His second coming to take us to our rest.
Until then He is the rest for our souls, "Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest" (Matt 11:28) .
As believers in Christ, we should not be asking for Jesus to give us life - He is our life; not to give us rest - He is our rest.
Tabernacles/Sukkot (October 3, 2009) - Happy Birthday, Jesus!
