LISTEN TO THIS AUDIO SERMON:
http://www.understandingyourbible.com/…/arc…/2015/032915.mp3
This is an audio sermon on why Easter and Passover are not the same thing, and why Easter is not the resurrection of Christ.
My prayer is that this will be used simply for an individual's own edification and not as ammo against another brethren. Our apostle Paul does not forbid us from participating in pagan holidays, and tells us not to allow others to judge us on such things. Our primary focus, as we socialize with family and friends during holidays, should be on watching for opportunities to SHARE THE GOSPEL.
Even if it was a sin to celebrate pagan holidays, we should still avoid getting caught up in trying to monitor and police other people's sin!
Jesus PAID FOR ALL SINS AT THE CROSS.
Our work as ambassadors for Christ is NOT about sin; its about getting folks to BELIEVE THE GOSPEL [ i.e. 1Cor 15:1-4 KJV ]. So, please keep that in mind. :-) xoxo
OUR APOSTLE PAUL WRITES TO BELIEVERS ...
Col 2:16 KJV: "Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:"
1Co 6:12 KJV: "ALL things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any."
1Co 10:23 KJV: "ALL things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not."
1Co 16:14 KJV: "Let ALL your things be done with CHARITY."
1Co 13:4-7 KJV: "CHARITY suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, [5] Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; [6] Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; [7] Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things."
