There are two seasons which I enjoy and celebrate … Christmas and Easter.
I know that there are those who do not celebrate Christmas and Easter. Their claim is that these two holidays are pagan celebrations thus “Christians” should not observe them. Some go as far as to say that God despises our celebration on these two holidays. However, they do admit that they believe in the Christmas and Easter story … huh???? Well, if you believe then why not celebrate? Okay, can we say oxymoron?
Yes, because of commercialism Christmas and Easter has lost its true meaning in our society. But for those of us who truly believe in the significance of these two holidays and are able to separate the secular from the spiritual then, oh my god!, what a celebration it is. Because, He was born, crucified, and resurrected … can you say hallelujah????
I believe that Christ died for you and me and on the third day was resurrected. And because of His willingness to undertake this enormous gift of Himself, today you and I have hope beyond this life as we know it. Now, if this isn’t worthy our celebration then I don’t know what is. After all, these two events in history is the very foundation upon which we build our faith and look to the future with hope that one day soon we will live with Him … can we say, Amen????
