Take the time to sit down with your family and explore the truths about Christmas! It is easy for us to be misled when we hear the story told over and over again, but it’s important for us to all see what the Bible says. I hope you’ll take the time to watch this very insightful video.

Would you be surprised to learn that the Bible does not even mention Christmas? Would you further be surprised to learn that the story of Jesus' birth, as commonly told, is very different from the inspired text? What is a Christian's responsibility at this time of the year? In this video, Don Blackw...

This one may upset some, but please hear me out.

There is so much I love about Christmas, but the truth is, I don’t love how we put so much emphasis on worshiping and celebrating Jesus as a seasonal thing.

Did you know, Christmas is not actually found anywhere in the Bible. It never tells us when Jesus was born. In fact, most scholars believe it wouldn’t have been anytime in or near December.

Nor does the Bible make any mention or commandment for us to celebrate the birth of Christ.

The reason I discourage such a focus on the birth of Christ during this time is because very much like your own birthday, it becomes seasonal. You don’t celebrate your birthday every single day. Christianity is much more than a seasonal celebration. It is a lifelong commitment to die to ourselves and follow Christ DAILY.

“And He was saying to them all, “If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross daily and follow Me.”
‭‭Luke‬ ‭9‬:‭23‬ ‭

Furthermore, there are many who treat Christmas as the only time they should go to church. The Bible would describe this as “lukewarm” behavior. Listen to what Jesus says about this. “So because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of My mouth.”
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭3‬:‭16‬

Do you want to make Jesus sick to the point He spits you out? I sure don’t.

Don’t get me wrong. There are many positives to Christmas. It’s a time where more or less the entire world hears about Jesus Christ and for that I rejoice. But hearing and believing that Jesus is the son of God is just the beginning. Upon believing, one must repent (Luke 13:3) and be baptized (Acts 2:38) in order to have their sins washed away.

Jesus is not the reason for a season, He is the reason for everything in our life. Don’t let Christmas fool you into thinking you can celebrate our savior just this one time a year. Pick up your cross and remember what He has done for you DAILY!

God bless you all! Stay Salty and Lit!
