Following criticisms of the celebration of Christmas by some people, the Assembly Pastor, Christ Apostolic Church, Vineyard of Comfort, Dallas Texas, USA, Pastor Isaac Abiara, has said there is no day we celebrate Christ’s birth that isn’t worth.
He noted that we deliberate on less important things a lot in Christendom, emphasizing that as a matter of fact, we must celebrate Christ’s birth everyday.
Pastor Abiara who said this in his Christmas Message further said that the best way to celebrate Christmas as Christians is to give back to the world.
The Cleric noted that God gave Christ to us and we should replicate this to the world, particularly the needy and less privileged by giving back to them.
“Christmas can best be celebrated by giving. God gave Jesus Christ to us and I think we should also give back to the world, particularly in a time like this. We must give back to the needy and the less privileged. It is not about eating and drinking. All of us as Christians must give because we are celebrating the gift God gave to the whole world,” Pastor Abiara stated.
