When Jesus Walked in Winter

from Sergio DeSoto The Counterintuitive Podcast Hosted by Sergio DeSoto

In this episode we walk into the Temple courts with Yeshua—not at Passover, but at Hanukkah, the Feast of Dedication. We dig into the real Maccabean story behind John 10: the outlawing of Torah, the desecration of the Temple, and the courage of a village priest who refused to bow to empire. Then we ask the uncomfortable questions: what does it mean that the Light of the world and true Temple stood in that rededicated house and was rejected by its guardians? What does Hanukkah expose about our own religious systems, our loyalties to government, and the idols hidden in our “temples” today? This is not a cute Festival of Lights episode; it’s a Maccabean call to cleanse, rededicate, and stand. This is a public episode.
