Bible Question: Where do we get the authority to celebrate christmas or easter? God does not command us to do this. The only thing that we are commanded to do is to remember Christs death, burial and resurrection on the first day of the week.(Acts 20:7)This is also the time that we are to give a portion which we have prospered.(I Cor. 16:1-2) We are given the story of Jesus to show that all has been completed. We are not commanded to celebrate it once or twice a year, but to study it and share the story with others so that they may know the wonderful love of Jesus and the most wonderful gift ever given and to use it in our daily lives as an example for us to live by, not something we do once or twice a year. |
