I love Christmas and Easter. It gives us special time to reflect on what Christ has done for us and share that with the world. But beyond that I love the celebration. Heaven rings with love joy and laughter and these great festivals are a way to share in that joy. We see in such a dim way the joy that awaits! gathering together as a people to sing joyous praise is as close to Heaven as we can get right now. And the Joy of easter morning is much more poignant after walking through the depths of the preceding days. What a God we serve. I cannot wait to celebrate with Christ in Heaven some say very soon. These are not pagan festivals though Satan tries to ruin every move of God with cheap imitation
I think we should hold onto the celebrations of Christmas and Easter because for now at least the rest of the world still recognizes that they are about Jesus Christ. Perfect opportunities for witnessing to the lost.
