With the biggest holiday of the year just around the corner, the ‘Merry Christmas’ debate is heating up again. Some people think this holiday greeting will offend others. They don’t worry about ‘Happy Valentine’s Day’ in February. The word Christmas has ‘Christ’ in it and after 2000 years He’s still intimidating people. The same people who want to censor His name approve of using the very same name as a cuss word. That’s called blasphemy and Our Creator says He will punish anyone who uses His name like that. He sent His Only Son the first time as a gentle Lamb to die for your sins, but soon His Son is coming back as a furious Lion to devour His enemies. This Christmas, make sure you are not His enemy – turn from your sins and trust in what He did for you on the cross.
What’s the big deal about saying Merry Christmas?

Fair enough, George. Actually, I’m not a fan of some of the roots of Christmas. And I’m not a fan of going out of my way to offend people. But I do enjoy the giving tradition, the caroling part and the reading/preaching about Christ’s miraculous and prophecied birth in the Bible. Truly He came the first time as a little Lamb Who would be sacrificed for our sins. He is returning a second time as a Lion to judge the world in righteousness. Therefore, the theme around our house in December is “He came once…He is coming again!” And I look for any excuse to bring Christ’s name into a public conversation, especially in a reverant way. Our society has been so worried about offending people, we forgot about the importance of not offending our Creator. Thanks for your comment and may the Lord bless you and your family!!!
