Christmas in July? Easter in January?

  Many people  love Christmas.  Even non believers in Christ know Christmas has a great feeling.  It's a time of family and sharing gifts with friends as well as being kind to strangers.  They may not ever enter church any other time but will enjoy attending this one occasion for the warm fuzzy, the music or Christmas play.  We use December 25th to remember the birthday of Jesus Christ.  It's when He, GOD the SON, leaves the Glory of Heaven and enters  a manger. Many children have been born before and since but an Angel said:  "I bring good news of great joy that will be for all people.  Today in the town of  David a Savior has been born to you; He is CHRIST the LORD!"  Man, that's why I will celebrate Christmas every day of the year.

  Many don't know what it's all about but if they are offered it;  they'll take  Good Friday off .  It's when we remember why this Holy Jesus was born in the first place.. Jesus came at the right time for it is when  the religious leaders and government would kill Him for His claims. When they did....Christ died for the world  (that God loved)  that whoever believes in Him would never perish but have eternal life.  Many had died on a cross before and after but because of who He was; made this a Holy cross, a terrible cross, a saving cross!  Man, I will remember that everyday of the year.

 

  They used to say;  " Everybody goes to church on Easter". Today..not so much.  Many will go and listen to the cantata or experience the big Easter presentation.  Original pagan Holiday or not. We use this day to celebrate the Resurrection from the dead of Jesus Christ.  Sacrifice accepted! great victory over sin, the grave and death.  Paul wrote: "For what I received I passed onto you as of first importance; that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures, that He was buried, that He was raised on the third day according to the scriptures..." Paul wrote: "God made Him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God."   and now He sits on the right hand of God.  Man, I will praise and worship as well as celebrate that everyday of the year.

  Bible says:  "That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord and believe in you heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved."
  Paul wrote: "therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ." and  he said: "Therefore, there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus."

Man, I will worship Christ and celebrate Christmas, Good Friday and Easter everyday of the year!

How about you?
