GOD DIDNT COMMANDED HIS DISCIPES TO CELEBRATE HIS BIRTHDAY,

RATHER, GOD COMMANDED HIS DISCIPLES TO CELEBRATE HIS DEATH.

Solomon is thought to have said, “The day of death is better than the day of one’s birth (Ecclesiastes
7:1).

The Bible itself is silent on the Christian celebration of Jesus' birth. One would think that if God the Father
wanted His Beloved Son's birth to be honored, He would have taken special care to ensure that the Good
Book contained a directive to do so. But what do we find? Instead, Jesus Himself instructs us to
remember—not His birth—but His death

(Luke 22:14-20;

14When the hour had come, He reclined at the table, and the apostles with Him.

15And He said to them, “I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer;

16for I say to you, I shall never again eat it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”

17And when He had taken a cup and given thanks, He said, “Take this and share it among yourselves;

18for I say to you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine from now on until the kingdom of God comes.”

19And when He had taken some bread and given thanks, He broke it and gave it to them, saying, “This is
My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me.”

20And in the same way He took the cup after they had eaten, saying, “This cup which is poured out for
you is the new covenant in My blood.

I Corinthians 11:23-26)!
