Bible Question: CAN SOMEONE HELP ME. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHERE IN THE BIBLE DOES IT REFER TO DECEMBER 25TH. BEING THE DAY THAT CHRIST WAS BORN. AND HOW DID IT COME ABOUT |
Bible Answer: Sweet: "But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son" (Gal. 4:4) In other words God's Son came into the world at the exact moment God intended him to and yet the date was not recorded. Why? He did not come with the pomp of a king, but he came as a child born in the outside place of poor parents. In doing so "He made himself of no reputation" Phil 2:7 Jesus did not want people to worship a special day, but to remember and worship him. As he left this world he left a rememberance supper, with the emblems the bread and the cup to remember him and to look forward to his coming again. It was not until much later that so called Christians blended their religion with other pagan religions leaving us with what we have today. A holiday in the name of Christ which for the most part of the population is a day to celebrate commericalism with no thought for Christ at all. It is my understanding that Western Christians first celebrated Christmas on December 25 in 336, after Emperor Constantine had declared Christianity the empire's favored religion Even today, we can pause and rejoice in the birth of the Savior. However, most christians rejoice and celebrate this every week, not just one day per year. I apologize if I sound like the grinch. I believe that there were many sure prophecies which were fulfilled at the Birth of Christ which we can enjoy. God Bless Robert |
