In John’s gospel, Jesus claimed to be the source of “living water” and also the “light of the world”. It’s only when we consider these claims in the context of The Feast of Tabernacles that we realise how astounding they really were. How could he make these claims and what do they really mean?

Neh 8:13-20. After searching the scriptures, the fathers and priests acted on the Word by observing the Feast of Tabernacles and the people responded in faith and obedience, by building booths.
