The birthday of Jesus
No one knows the correct date after the birth of the Lord Jesus, the bible does not tell us which day, is very interesting, is not we pay attention to the Lord a special day.
Do you know?About the birthday, only recorded in the bible twice birthday celebration, and two are related to the murder charges.Forty chapters of genesis verse 22 recorded the pharaoh of Egypt in celebrating his birthday, kill the chief baker.Another record is celebrating his birthday herod the great, to cut the head of John the Baptist.If god wanted the two birthday celebrations to admonish, teach us, also suggests that, should not be to celebrate the birthday for fun?
Full revelation to us, the bible is god of god's plan, salvation, we believer when how to pursue holiness, to match the indwelling Christ, how to build the body of Christ, and so on, let the man of god may be complete (2 Tim. 3:16), therefore, we do not need to give up the bible and he asked, and even many traditional is contrast with the bible.The word of god tells us when to worship in spirit and how the church life, bread, and drink cup of the Lord, and all the many things about the Christian life.But never the bible says god commanded us to celebrate your birthday.The bible instructs us to commemorate the death of the Lord, and never instructs us to celebrate his birth.
The precise date of the birth of Jesus is not the bible says.In the 4th century, in order to commemorate the birth of Jesus, the universal church nicene council provisions: on December 24, for laterOn Christmas Eve, December 25ChristmasTo commemorate the birth of Jesus.On December 25 to Japan is the birthday of Roman mythology, the sun god.The Roman empire in the fourth century has been a Christian, they realized that the sun god does not exist, Jesus Christ is the sun of righteousness, then, in the light of truth, like the sun, lights up the world, the light of the universe.This provision means that Christianity with love and patience, conquered the Roman original religion a peaceful way.
