It’s starting already I am reading things in the paper like, “the lighting of the community tree” or “the holiday tree.”
In America we have celebrated Christmas since the founding of our great nation. It is a celebration of the birth of the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. It is a time to reflect upon the blessings that have been bestowed upon this great nation because we were founded on the principles and precepts of the Holy Bible. It is for these reasons that this nation has experienced the freedoms and privileges that we enjoy.
We have removed God from our public schools and now we are making an attempt to remove Him completely from our society. We have made way too much “progress” in that area. The Holy Bible says, “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.” It is because in the founding of this country our forefathers gave God His rightful place that we are the great nation that we are. But our attempts to remove God from the forefront have had many negative and devastating results. Time and space does not allow me to spell them out.
My point is this, it is the Christmas season. It is not just a holiday. It is a season of worshiping the One Who gave His life that we may have a future in Heaven. Christ is the reason for celebrating Christmas. It is not illegal to say Merry Christmas in public schools in spite of what some may have us to believe. It is, also, not illegal to say it when we shop. When someone tells you to have a Happy Holiday this year I hope you will reply for them to have a Merry Christmas. Christ is the Reason for the season.
