Yes. Christians Should Celebrate Christmas. The Birth of Jesus.
The Celebration of Christmas is Biblical. Jesus Birth was foretold in the Bible. It was Celebrated in Heaven. And was announced by a Heavenly Host of Angels to Shepard’s in the field.
In The Bible Jesus Birth Was Greatly Celebrated.
Matthew 1:23 “Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.”
Isaiah 7:14 “Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.”
Isaiah 9:6 “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.”
Christmas in the Book of Matthew:
Matthew 1:18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.
19 Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily.
20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.
21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins.
22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,
23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
24 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:
25 And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name Jesus.
Every year Christmas is under attack especially by “Christians.” By people who claim to be Christians.
Christmas Trees, Santa Claus, and everything involved with the secular celebration of Christmas is Pagan. Christians can celebrate Christ’s birth without all the Paganism.
Most Holiday’s that the world celebrates. Have Paganism involved with the Celebration. There is nothing Christian in the Celebration of Halloween for example. Please when you celebrate a Holiday. Understand everything you are doing.
The Celebration of Christmas and Easter are both Biblical. (The Pagan corruption of them. Does not change that they are Biblical.) While Halloween has no Biblical origin.
Do not buy. That there is no difference. Between the celebration of Halloween and the celebration of Christmas and Easter.
The Celebration of Christmas and Easter are both biblical (The Pagan corruption of them, does not change that they are Biblical.) While Halloween has no Biblical origin.
I am not saying Christians have to Celebrate Christmas and Easter.
I am saying if you do not Celebrate Christmas and Easter do not Slander and Condemn people who do.
Do not slander and condemn people who celebrate Christmas and Easter.
Christmas in the book of Luke:
Luke 2:7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.
8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
9 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
15 And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.
16 And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.
17 And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child.
18 And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.
19 But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.
20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.
Jesus is God who became flesh to pay the Penalty for all of the Sins of the world.
Matthew 1:21 “And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.”
John 1:29 “The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.”
1 Peter 3:18 “For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:”
Christians we celebrate Jesus birth, his life, because his birth and his life are celebrated in the Bible. We are thankful for Jesus birth. So very thankful he died on the Cross, was buried, and rose from the grave, to Save us from the Penalty of all of our Sins.
John 3:14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
