Church Of The Lost Sheep

" For he was looking forward to the city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God." Hebrews 11:10 in the Berean Study Bible Version [This is the  7th lesson of  this series ] Christians are always being criticized for their faith.

Through the centuries when this birthday (Christmas) was first celebrated, people have lost the real message why this day is being celebrated in the first place. Mind you, nothing in Scriptures is telling us to commemorate the birthday of Christ. Yet it isn't really a bad idea. Celebrating birthdays have been a thing long before Christianity. The Gift Now what is not good is people celebrating gift giving and receiving without having first received The Gift which started this Christmas celebrations to begin with. For hundreds of years, God gave humankind the good news of a Heavenly Gift. Prophets have long prophesied and wrote about this -- the coming of Christ. Foretold The angel Gabriel appeared to Zechariah and told him

Many Christians are merely "religious", basically they only know of Christ but don't really know Him. They are very much like the religious leaders of Jesus' time, who missed out on knowing who Christ is and He was right there in front of them. Let us not follow their lead.

They were watching for the signs and the prophesies, and waiting for Christ. When Jesus arrived, their religious leaders didn't recognize Him. Many of the Jews are still waiting for the arrival of the Promised Messiah, the Christ.
