This is the story of how Scripture centered the faith of the Franciscan Christians. This argument is clear. The Bible records no command. For example, an important instruction showing that Jesus' birth was celebrated by both his parents, the Apostles and the early church.
Scripture repeated the emphasis on remembrance of the death of Christ through possible premonition and philosopher. One standard is the consistent biblical pattern that has been highlighted. God places weight not on the beginnings but on the completion.
From Ecclesiastes to Psalm and Revelation, the Bible presents the death of the righteous as very precious, meaningful and so victorious. Because it marks a finish service. In this sense, the death of Christ is not just a tragedy to ignore but is the foundation we need in order to obtain salvation and hope.
This is challenging the popular tradition by asking an uncomfortable but very important question. Are our practices rooted in Scripture or just in our custom? Whether we agree fully or not, the message pushes believers through.
The Bible reads, and so Jesus said to Joseph, urging us to be careful, to examine what we celebrate, what we celebrate today, so that at the end, at the very least, it might not be Christ's sacrifice, not sentiment, is in the heart of every believer and Christian in our faith.
