As the Bible says, One person esteems one day as better than another, while another esteems all days alike. ![]() The Lord’s Supper celebrates Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection.Ĭelebrating new holidays to the Lord is a Christian freedom. He was sacrificed and resurrected as the ultimate Victor once for all. Jesus, the Christ, is the final and perfect Passover Lamb. The Breaking of Bread-also called the Last Supper, Lord’s Supper, Communion, or the Elements-is a New Testament regular observance of the Passover fulfilled in Jesus for the New Covenant. The New Testament continues in this tradition with the Lord’s Day, which is the first day of the week (Acts 20:7 1 Corinthians 16:2 Revelation 1:10) and honors when Christ resurrected. In a nutshell, holidays exist by being predicated on the existence of the Holy God of the Bible. After seven cycles of seven years (49 years), the fiftieth year was the Jubilee! The point is that God gave holidays to man. The God of the Bible began instituting holy days in the Old Testament as types and shadows of Christ (Colossians 2:16–17): Furthermore, it is why Christians strive to live a godly and holy life as God patterned for man in the life of Jesus Christ (1 Peter 1:16). “ Bible” literally means “the book” or more properly, the collection of books from a Holy God. “Holy” means “sacred, spiritually perfect, hallowed, and godly.” This is why we call the Bible the Holy Bible. He is perfectly holy.Ī holiday is literally a “holy day,” but the name is derived from the Old English hāligdæg ( hālig meaning “holy” and dæg meaning “day”). (Proverbs 18:17) What Is a Holiday?Ī “holiday” is a “holy day.” Thus, it is predicated on the concept of absolute holiness, which is by definition, the God of the Bible. The one who states his case first seems right, until the other comes and examines him. Sadly, there are some Christians that buy into what these pagans are claiming, and they become tools to advance paganism, even if they don’t realize it. ![]() ![]() We need to remember that false religions are not neutral but have an active opposition for Christ and his Word (e.g., Matthew 12:30 Luke 11:23 Titus 1:15). Polytheistic and pantheistic pagans-including believers in evolution, Roman and Greek mythology, ancestor worship, Wicca, etc.-attack Christianity with fervor. But I think it is wise to refute these claims from time to time as a reminder that pagans usually don’t get it right. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not criticizing or poking fun at people for not celebrating Christmas, the resurrection, or their own birthdays. ![]()
