This month, many of us are going to celebrate the holiday, Christmas. I am not going to voice the pro’s or con’s that are involved in just this one holiday.
There is so much that is simply Pagan, that is celebrated on this day, just as there is so much that is celebrating Jesus Christ.
Now we should all know that Jesus’ birthday was not on December 25th. December 25th is the day, millions of individuals celebrate the memory of His birth.
There is no jolly old man named Santa that lives in the north pole delivering presents throughout the world guiding reindeer that fly through the air.
But just as God gave each one of us a GIFT, mankind throughout the world, does the same thing and gives gifts to one another.
Ephesians 2:8 ‘…For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the GIFT of God…’ AKJV
Don’t allow yourself to be caught up in a man-made subject that is not going to solve anything.
Celebrate this time of year as being the season when we can recognize what God has done for us.
Celebrate this season by looking up to Him and thanking Him for what He has given us.
Yes this world is full of evil, but don’t focus on that evil, put your focus on His love and share that with those you meet throughout your day.
Here are some facts that can be found online about this holiday.
The first time Christmas was officially celebrated on a specific date was December 25, 336 AD. This occurred after the Roman Emperor Constantine had converted to Christianity and recognized it as a legal religion. If someone told you that Christmas is religious … you knew that it wasn’t, but you let it slide, don’t alter their feelings.
Christmas, December 25th is just simply the day that Jesus’ birth is celebrated on throughout the world.
There is nothing in the Word that says we should celebrate Jesus’ birth on December 25th, and there is nothing that says we will be punished if we don’t celebrate His birth on that day.
Get over it … it’s not a big deal.
What is more important is that we know that Jesus died on a cross to forgive us our sins that we’ve all committed throughout our lives.
Jesus died on a cross nearly 2000 years before we were even born.
Remember that Jesus was resurrected back to life by God the Father in heaven after His crucifixion on the cross.
God offered us a GIFT through His GRACE that could save us from damnation.
Through our FAITH in God, we are saved.
These are things the Bible tells us are true.
These things will assure us Everlasting Life in the presence of Jesus after this world is completed.
OPEN your Bibles and READ of the love that God has for you.
There is so much today that is untrue, there is so much evil trying to get you influenced in a certain way, just sit back and OPEN your own Bible and allow God to speak to you and teach you what He wants you to know.
I love ALL of y’all.
Merry Christmas.
