1 | Two Christmases? | Is 9:6 | Hank | 106361 | ||
Tonight I heard a song on the radio. The lyrics: "Let's all give thanks to the Lord above, 'cause Santa Claus is coming tonight." ...... Tonight I read in Isaiah 9:6: "For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." ..... There are obviously two Christmases: the Christmas the world celebrates and the Christmas Christians celebrate. Are they compatible? Why or why not? --Hank | ||||||

The "Santa Claus" Christmas seems to be a cheap immitation. This is not to say that it is wrong to exchange gifts at Christmas, but we, as Christians, exchange gifts with the understanding that the greatest gift came from God the Father, in the person of His Son. (Of course, we "give thanks to the Lord above" through His Son, and for His Son.). What other thoughts would you add to this, Hank? |
