SHOULD WE CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS?!
No scripture tells us to celebrate birthdays, but we do. We honor important people around us who live and die like everyone else, building monuments in their honor. And God commands us to give honor to who honor is due.
Romans 13:7.
... and give respect and honor to those who are in authority.
CHRISTMAS HONORS AND CELEBRATES JESUS CHRIST, THE ANOINTED ONE!
The name CHRISTMAS is a combination of two words. CHRIST (the anointed one), and MAS (celebration). CHRISTMAS means the HONORING AND CELEBRATION OF THE ANOINTED ONE, JESUS CHRIST. Hallelujah!
John 5:22,23.
In addition, the Father judges no one. Instead, He has given the Son absolute authority to judge, so that everyone will honor the Son, just as they honor the Father. Anyone who does not honor the Son is certainly not honoring the Father who sent Him.
Jesus Christ, the King of ALL kings, is HIGHLY honored worldwide by EVERYONE! We count years and dates after His life, death and resurrection. For instance the calendar the whole world use today, made up of days, weeks, months and years, are according to the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. And no one contests this worldwide, including even pagan nations. That's incredible! Even false religions acknowledge the deity, authority and uniqueness of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ though the disobey the Lord.
Consequently, Christians worldwide chose December 25th to honor and celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, since there's no CLEAR record of His date of birth. The DATE Jesus Christ was born is of little significance, but the fact that He was born. And being born, He died, resurrected, saved, healed, delivered and blessed the whole world. NOW, THAT'S THE REASON FOR THE SEASON AND THE AMAZING GIFT OF GOD THAT'S WORTH CELEBRATING!
Luke 19:40
Jesus replied, If my people kept quiet, the stones on the road would celebrate me!
That date 25th December stands uncontested, whether pagans also celebrate their idols then. Pagans and unbelievers should submit and bow to the Lord Jesus Christ and not the other way around.
Psalm 118:24
This is the (that) day the Lord has made; we will rejoice (celebrate) and be glad in it.
Pagans or devils didn't make any day, so they can't CHOOSE one! Should we stop worshiping God on Sundays, weekdays and/or change any of our days of worship just because pagans also use and worship their gods on those days? Common!!!
We Christians, must stop selling our birthright and learn to take a stand and occupy until the Lord Jesus Christ returns. We must stop making EXCUSES and start doing EXPLOITS because the entire creation (our families, neighbors, colleagues, friends and the hurting world) is waiting for our MANIFESTATION and not our intellectual EXPLANATIONS!
Daniel 11:32.
And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries; but the people who do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.
WE SHOULD HONOR AND CELEBRATE JESUS CHRIST, THE ESSENCE AND REASON FOR THE CHRISTMAS SEASON, NOT ONLY ON THE 25TH DECEMBER, BUT ALSO EVERY DAY. SHOW THE WORLD WHY JESUS CHRIST WAS BORN WHILE CELEBRATING HIM THIS CHRISTMAS BY GETTING SINNERS SAVED, THE SICK HEALED AND DISCIPLES MADE FOR THE LORD WITH THE LORD WORKING WITH US!
Mark 16:17-20.
Jesus said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.” After the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, he was taken up into heaven and he sat at the right hand of God. Then the disciples went out and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked with them and confirmed his word by the signs that accompanied it.
