This is my 6th year now not celebrating Christmas. Every year it feels so strange and weird responding to people that I’m one of the “weird” ones, who don’t celebrate this holiday. Lots of evidence as well as the Holy Spirit convinced me that this holiday is not about Yeshua (Jesus) but it’s a tradition with lots of symbolism that God don’t appreciate. Starting with a wrong date of Yeshua bday, to Christmas tree that have a roots of Sun god worship, that btw Jeremiah 10:1-5 was telling us about.
What saddens me, is the lack of communication and lack of understanding (on what I discovered) within the members of my family, who believe in Yeshua as well as some of my friends. It’s strangely crazy to me how people are deeply rooted into the traditions of man, and how they cannot give them up for what is written in the Bible. I understand that all of us have weaknesses and that’s why I am trying not to judge anyone, but there is a point that we all have to realize what the truth is. As we know, truth can set us free from bondage of lies, so why not become a warrior for the truth, rejecting every lie? And as we know Yeshua warned us about it in Mark 7:6-8.
God gave us so many amazing festivals to follow and as soon I discovered them and observed them, I realize that they are more fun, as well as more intimate regarding the relationship between me and God. Those appointed times as God told us to observe are a foreshadowing Yeshua. Yeshua also fulfilled most of them. Most, because some of them they are still to be fulfilled with the second coming of our Messiah.
I wish every believer would experience these feasts at least once in their lifetime. I don’t think they would ever go back to Christmas or Easter.
Feel free to read my previous post on Yeshua possible date of birth and how the Christmas originated.
