Christ birthdate

I have a lighted Nativity Scene in my front yard. Anyone passing by has to know WHY I am celebrating and it's NOT because of Santa Claus!

Christmas will come and go whether or not we decorate, exchange gifts, or whatever. I just love to see all the Christmas lights, hence I decorate.

I think my nativity scene is a witness and I hope it makes some people stop and think what Christmas is all about.

 

Jim: Did you ever stop to think that they may not have sought out relatives to stay with because, of the circumstances of Mary's pregnancy, they might not be welcomed?

Just a thought...

Just some logic here, Jesus started His earthly ministry at the age of 30 and had it for 3 years. So possibly His birthdate and His death date are close to the same date.

I know this the world hates Jesus, and they are doing all they can to remove Christ out of Christmas.

 

Just a thought - since Jesus is God and God is eternal and has no beginning and no end, should we even talk in terms of a birth date for God? Are we unknowingly giving room to those that consider Jesus to be only a man like us?

 

Something to ponder...
John the Baptist in the womb recognized Jesus Who was only a few cells wide in the womb!
Pretty wonderful.

Sometimes the way things are going in this world, I can't help but wonder if Jesus was born on Halloween.

 

KenH I agree with you. We should point people to the Cross, rather than to a manger. However at least it makes everyone to have to deal with Christ.

 

Your point is well taken, but since Elizabeth was already 6 months along, John was more than just a few cells wide.

even though Jesus probably wasnt born on Dec. 25 there is nothing wrong about rembering Jesus's birth on Dec.25. rember that God promised to send a savouir to save us from our sins. as john 3:16 says God soloved the world he gave his only begotten son that whosoever belives in him should not perish but have everlasting life. the Prophets in the old testement talks about the messiah coming Isaiah 9:16 says For unto us a child is born; and unto us a son is given and the government will be upon His shoulder and His name will be called wonderful, counselor, mighty God, Everlasting Father prince of peace.
or micah in micah 5:2 but you Bethlem Ephrathah though you are a little among the thousands of judah, yet out of you shall come forth to me TheOne to be Ruler in Israel, whose goings forth are from old, from everlasting to everlasting....

there is nothing wrong about remebering and celerbrating the Birth of our Lord and saviour's birth on Dec. 25 or any day of the year. We should rember Jesus's birth everyday he is the lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.
