This is a few days late due because I haven't had much time to share. But it's always good to reflect on Jesus and our celebrations.
There are some who question the Christmas celebration of Jesus' birth, claiming that it's wrong to do so.
The Bible mentions birthdays twice. One: The Pharaoh had a birthday
celebration at the time of Joseph, Genesis 40:20: "Now it came to pass
on the third day, which was Pharaoh's birthday, that he made a feast for
all his servants." And Two: Herod had a birthday celebration, Matthew 14:7,
"But when Herod's birthday was celebrated, the daughter of Herodias
danced before them and pleased Herod."
Celebrating birthdays doesn't appear to be wrong - the Bible doesn't seem to ban them. The real problem is when
the focus of the season shifts away from who Jesus is in our lives
and what He has done for mankind to our own greed and self-gratification. Remember it's Happy Birthday JESUS and he is our Lord and Savior.
