Articles on Christmas celebration
So far we’ve learned that God wants His people to celebrate His great deeds and that the celebration of Christmas goes further back in history than the pagan celebration of winter solstice. We’ve examined how Jesus being born in Bethlehem, instead of the capitol city of Jerusalem, has great significance to Jesus being the bread…
In this series, we have learned that Jesus had to be born on Bethlehem, because the name Bethlehem means “house of bread”, and Jesus is the bread of life. But there is another reason why God had Jesus born in this small town. During the time of Ruth and Boaz, Bethlehem was an agrarian community,…
Why did God ordain that Christ would be born in Bethlehem and not in the Capitol city, Jerusalem where the temple stood? When we look at the fact that God had ordained every detail of the Christmas story to tell an even greater story, it all makes sense. The census, Bethlehem, the stable, the shepherds,…
I have been confronted many times for my position on the subject and even accused of being a heretic because I love to celebrate Christmas. I have been asked, “How can you say that you believe in the inerrancy of Scripture and celebrate Christmas? Don’t you understand that it comes directly out of paganism?” Next…
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire,.Jack Frost nipping at your noise.Yule Tide carols being sung by a choir,And folks dressed up like Eskimos.Everybody know, some turkey and some mistletoe,Help to make the season bright.Tiny tots with their hearts all aglow,Will find it hard to sleep tonight… Mel Torme wrote “The Christmas Song” in 1944, at…
If on the night that Jesus was born in Bethlehem, all of heaven was rejoicing and celebration, that you and I as disciples of Jesus Christ, we should celebrate his birth; that we should praise and glorify God because Messiah has come into the world? Almighty God set the example. How should we celebrate this…
I must strongly disagree with the venerable Pastor Greg Laurie, Senior Pastor of Harvest Christian Fellowship, who published an article December 18, 2020, Jesus birth: It’s More About the “Why” Than the “Where.” It is the “where” that declares “the who” and “the why” of Jesus Christ’s birth. Jesus must be born in Bethlehem and…
Christmas should not be celebrated by Believers because it Christmas is a pagan holiday. Really? Are you sure about that? The declaration of Christmas being a pagan holiday is based upon arguments that are old and worn out. These are arguments are rooted in anti-Roman Catholic sentiment more than good biblical and historical fact and…
It was the perfect storm. Luke sets the stage for us. “And it came to pass in those days that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered. This census first took place while Quirinius was governing Syria. So all went to be registered, everyone to his own city….
It is interesting, is it not, that God would fail to make certain there was housing for Mary and Joseph in Bethlehem. Every detail of the conception and birth of Jesus Christ was prepared with precision; from the order of the constellation to the political and military structure and perfectly matching the dates of Daniel…
