A person said, no where in the bible do we see the celebration of Christmas...My reply was this... The night Christ was born the angels praised God and spoke glad tidings of great joy that our Savior that night was born....The sky was full of them saying, Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace and goodwill to men. Those angels were celebrating THE DAY of the birth of Christ and they were sharing their good news with men to bring men in on the celebration.
It was a special night when God was born into our world as a child. The Word became flesh and dwelt amongst us.
It does not grieve the Lord when we do things in REMEMBRANCE OF HIM.
Personally I love Christmas and everything about Christmas.We celebrate Christmas in remembrance of our Lord and his birth on earth. It is a time of remembrance. A time of celebrating our Saviors birth. A time we celebrate and give and share in giving gifts to one another as God gave to us His gift, the gift of Christ His Son.
Yea but Deno, the 25th of December used to be a pagan day. Well your right, but even so our hearts and spirits used to belong to Satan, but because we received Christ, God filled our hearts and spirits with Himself even though our hearts used to be Satan's territory. It's not what it used to be that counts but what NOW IS in Christ. So if a heart that was once Satan's can now belong to God, surely a day that has no soul that once belonged to a lifeless pagan can now be a day that belongs to Jesus where we celebrate Christ our Lord.
Yes the 25th of December centuries ago was a pagan day for many, but to us we fill that same day with something NEW....We celebrate on that day our Saviors birth, and we now fill that day with our praise and thanksgiving to God for Jesus Christ. On Christmas day we celebrate in REMEMBRANCE, THE BIRTH OF CHRIST OUR SAVIOR....MERRY CHRISTMAS.....deno.
