Forget Jesus?
Forget Jesus!
That's what I read in the newspaper this morning.
The article refers to whats going on at the theatres this Christmas.
Tage Danielsson was a very famous comedian, who wrote a story about a a boy who is growing up in a rich family. He gets a temporary job at the post office but takes the presents from the rich and gives to the poor.
That story has become a Christmas tradition in Sweden just as Dickens , Mr Scrooge in a way has been.
The writer of the article says" Thank Danielsson" for the Christmas atmosphere..
More and more we can see how God, Jesus, Christianity is getting marginalised, and typical Christian celebrations are getting ignored or reformed without God.
In some restaurants and shops they are told not to play Christmas songs with a Christian touch or with the name Jesus in it.
The Gospels tell the story of Christ’s birth, but nowere in Scripture are we told to celebrate His birth.
Thats true, But it’s part of our culture now. It’s a wonderful opportunity for the entire world to consider how God became man and came to earth. And of course its message of “Peace on earth, goodwill to man” is a message we need now more than ever.
