Why We need to celebrate Christmas?

We do not celebrate Christmas for some reasons.

1. The date Jesus was born is not mentioned in the Bible.

2. During December, in the Middle East including Israel, the weather is cold and snowing, the flock can only stay in sheep pen. Besides, the shepherds will not spend their nights in the fields. But in Luke 2:8 “And there were shepherds in the same region, spending their nights in the fields and keeping watch over their flock by night.” What is recorded in the Bible is true and cannot be denied, so the date of “Christmas” (25/12) is incorrect.

3. The Bible does not record the date because God don’t want “Christmas” become a religious activity. When we are saved, God was born in us.

4. The Bible does not tell us to remember the birth of Jesus. However, Jesus wants us to declare the Lord’s death and remember His resurrection until He comes. (Matthew 26:26-30, Mark 14:22-26, Luke 22:16-20, 1 Corinthians 11:23-26)
