Grace and peace to you from our Lord Jesus Christ.
And so the Jews set aside these days to remember when they were delivered from the hands of the evil Haman. The Jews had other days of remembrance, most notable was Passover, when they remembered being delivered by God from the death of the firstborn and their flight from Egypt. As Christians we have the same types of days: Easter and Christmas. We claim these days as the foundation of our faith, our relationship with God. And on these days we celebrate like there is no tomorrow. But what do we do on the Monday after Easter, and on December 26? Do we continue to celebrate, or do we begin to return to our regularly scheduled programming? The idea behind these days of remembrance is that we are to remember the source of the day every day, not just on that one day on the calendar. As Christians we should celebrate, every day, the good news of Jesus' resurrection. As Christians we should celebrate, every day, the good news of Jesus' birth. Remember, and celebrate, every single day, the good news of Jesus Christ and the countless blessings we have through him. God bless you.
