Hello brethren,
Once again I want to share with you the word of God that I learnt from today's Bible study.
THE IMPORTANT POINTS I LEARNT FROM TODAY'S ZOOM MEETING.
From The Catholic encyclopedia the birth of Christ was celebrated by the Romans in January but after 3030 years, they changed it to December 25th.
The reason been that, they copied what emperor Aurelia declared as the date for the celebration of the false God which is 25 December.
If Christ was really born in December how come there was no snow but the shepherd were watching over their sheep on the Field.
During the time Christ was born there was peace. Christ is the symbol of peace. It appears they are not celebrating the birth of Christ because there is cayous and fire works every where.
From the Hebrew calendar, the fourth month is June/July. This is the month when Zachariah went to his wife after the Angel visited him.
Elizabeth conceived in the fourth month.
Luke 1:24
At the Sixth month of Elizabeth
pregnancy, the Angel appeared to Mary and she also conceived in the month of January.
Luke 1:31
Mary visited Elizabeth and she was three months pregnant when she left Elizabeth. So John the Baptist was born in April.
Counting six months from April ends on October. So the possibility of the birth of Christ is last days of September and early October.
We are not sure of the exact day but the month can be October.
It is the day of Christ that we celebrate. It is believed that the day of death is better than the day of birth.
The death of Christ is what is important and not his birth.
Christ was born before the creation of the world and the is the important birthday of Christ. He was born in eternity so how can you put a date on that.
John 17:24
It is not the birthday of Christ on Earth that is important but his death.
Let us not aspire to know the birth day of Christ because the Lord is eternal.
MY FORMER BELIEVE OR EXPECTATION THAT WAS IMPROVED AFTER LISTENING TO TODAY'S BIBLE STUDY.
Formally I thought that the birth of Christ was December 25 but now I know that the possible month is October.
I now know that Christ was born in eternity so it's his death on Earth that is important to us and not his birth.
Through his birth we were saved.
WAYS IN WHICH THE STUDY AFFECT US THAT CAN MAKE US A BETTER PERSON THAT WE CAN USE IN OUR DAILY LIVES.
The study has made me realize how important the death of Christ is and not his birthday which the Romans say 25 December. So I will really celebrate his death rather than his birth which many people have been received to believe.
Thanks be to God.
