Christian Holidays

The two major Christian holidays are Easter and Christmas. Easter represents the rising of Jesus from the tomb and Christmas represents his birth. So, why does Easter revolve around chocolate rabbits and Christmas around Santa Claus? Doesn't everyone realize what is at stake here?

This is the whole purpose of life, to show that only God's ways are correct and to see who is to enter heaven for eternity. These holidays were supposed to be about Jesus. It seems to me that over the years, people who are uncomfortable with this, yet who wish to celebrate the holidays have introduced these distractions.

We should be celebrating our God. None of us can really grasp what Jesus has done for us, making it possible for us to spend eternity with God by dying for us on the cross to pay the price for sin. We could not possibly qualify for God's salvation through our own merits. You know that we are not living the way we should but Jesus did and he died to pay the price for us. The crucifixion of Jesus was the focal point of all human history. No matter what else you have or do, if you do not spend eternity with God, what does it really matter?

The Bible is like a brilliant and glorious light that illuminates the entire universe. Opening the cover of a Bible is opening a doorway to the highest level of reality that a human being can reach. The whole time that evil is allowed to exist is actually very brief in comparison with all of eternity and the Bible is the key to that eternity. Nothing or no one can possibly oppose the Will of God.
