Merry Christmas. It used to be a very simple and welcomed greeting at home, in the workplace and wherever you shopped. But somehow, on the heels of the over commercialization of this special event, the SJW crowd has turned it into a holiday for every religion as a way to negate the Christian aspect of the day.
This has nothing to do with any other religion or day of worship even if it conveniently coincides with the calendar timing. It does not have to do with the historical accuracy of actual day of Christ’s birth as many detractors try to point out. It has everything to do with event that did happen, the event in which God sent His only son, to be born as a human being, to show us as a living example, how to live among men. He brings to life, in flesh and blood, the Word of God, which is depicted in the Bible.
So if you find yourself questioning the need or the reason for all the “celebrating” that goes on at this time of year, remember to keep your eye on the prize. It is not about gifts, it is not about food, it is not about parties and get-togethers, although those are well and good and enjoyable for everyone. The focus is and should be on the word “CHRISTmas.”
And don’t fall prey to the brainless efficiency that perpetuates the moronic “Xmas” message. The use of the “X” completely negates Christ in the word and makes the holiday truly a secular event, something that many like to see happen. They like this because Christians believe in an Almighty being, creator of all, who gave us his Son as a way of salvation, and the decision is given to each of us to accept that gift. But people don’t like responsibility, they don’t like standards especially when those rules encroach on their freedom to live how they want. After all, God did give us free will. But along with free will come consequences. You can choose to do things the right way or the wrong way. Your choice. Standards by their nature are things to be achieved, goals to be worked towards, aspired to. People need inspiration and challenges to aspire to and none are better than to excel at being a godly person in the image of Christ.
God does not promise us a problem free existence in this life. However, if we work to live by his rules, “The 10 Commandments” are the best summary, then we have the best chance of staying on the path to a righteous life, one that will most closely emulate that of His son, Jesus Christ. – Mongoose
