All the Old Testament Jewish festivals point to Messiah. In this look at Palm Sunday we'll see several reasons why the Festival of Booths foreshadowed Messiah's coming. When Jesus Christ fulfilled all prophecies, he also made permanent the temporary things celebrated in the Festival of Booths. Temporary shelter (as the Children of Israel lived in during the Exodus and on their journey toward the Promised Land), temporary sacrifices (as were carried out during Passover) all became permanent through Jesus Christ. This look at Palm Sunday helps us understand how knowing Jesus provides hope for a permanent dwelling where God Himself is in our midst because Jesus became the permanent sacrifice, or "unblemished Lamb," taking away the sins of those who put their faith in Him.
