WHY Celebrate "Christmas" or "Easter"?

None church goers show up at church on the celebration of Jesus Resurrection or on the celebration of Jesus Birthday on earth.
Carols with the Bible message of Jesus’ birth for the purpose of saving sinners are heard all over for people to hear this glorious message. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God even if it’s in song.

We celebrate our loved ones birthdays and these are special days to us. How much more the ONE EVENT WHEN GOD CAME TO DWELL WITH MEN ON EARTH not to condemn but to save at a horrible price to Him.

If God had not sent his Son to earth, there would have been no cross, no resurrection, no salvation plan, and we would have all perished in our sins.

The host of heaven was rejoicing and CELEBRATING bringing GOOD TIDINGS to men on earth. This glorious sight was seen by the most humble of that day, the poor shepherds. God loves us all. John 3:16 says God loves us SO much that he gave us His Son.

In the account of Esther, for example, it was to be remembered perpetually how God saved His people from perishing. Thus Purim is a festival commemorating this event. HOW MUCH MORE IMPORTANT to commemorate Jesus saving us sinners from perishing.

No resurrection means no Christianity, no forgiveness for sins, no hope, no salvation for us at all!

Beware of those that are enemies of the cross!

Philippians 3:18
(For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:
