In our lesson today we learned of the Feasts of Booths “Tabernacles” known as Sukkoth. The Festival of Booths (also known as Tabernacles) was so named because during those days they were to construct booths in which to live.
In the lesson text today we see once again the matchless and precious grace of God's love poured out for His people by way of the Day of Atonement. Christ's once-for-all sacrifice was superior to the Old Testament Day of atonement (Hebrew 10:10).
