“Now, some people will tell you that Jesus was not born on December 25th. Have you heard such arguments? They are very correct. We are not celebrating the birthday of Jesus. We are celebrating the birth of Jesus,” Apostle Suleman explained.
He noted that the exact date of Christ’s birth is unknown, but believers collectively chose December 25th to commemorate the miraculous event.
“If you say He wasn’t born on December 25th, then when was He born? You don’t know, and we don’t either. So, we agreed on this date to celebrate His birth,” he added.
The apostle dismissed arguments against Christmas as rebellion for the sake of being different. He emphasized that the birth of Christ is a divine and unique event that cannot be ignored. “Jesus was born of the Holy Ghost, not of a man. That’s not the kind of birth you ignore,” he said.
Apostle Suleman addressed those who refuse to celebrate Christmas, likening them to someone angry with the invention of electricity.
“Such a person would live in darkness unless they generate their own power,” he remarked. He encouraged believers to avoid unnecessary controversies and focus on the significance of Christ’s birth.
“Christmas is about joy and thanksgiving for the Savior who was born to redeem mankind,” he concluded, urging everyone to embrace the spirit of unity and celebration during the season.
He reminded them of the deeper meaning of Christmas, beyond debates, and an invitation to all to honor the birth of Christ with gratitude and joy.CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
