Happy Holiday! Or Merry Christmas! Which type of greeting do you use when you greet someone in this season? I realized that in every public television or social gathering people are using “Happy Holiday!” in their greetings. I just wonder how I should greet someone when I meet them during this season. I like to say, “Merry Christmas!” how nice. But some does not like this kind of greeting. The expression of their faces is changed the moment they hear “Merry Christmas!” Why?
You may know the answer. It is simply “Christ” was in the middle of it. Some say that “it is politically incorrect.” For those who reject Christ, it is definitely offensive for them to hear, “Merry Christmas!” In the news, an Atheist is undermining these words; “one nation under God” and “in God we trust.” They want God to be totally out of picture. In Scripture, Psalm 14:1 says, “The fool has said in his heart there is no God.” What a picture God painted. The mercy of God is enduring. Even though they refuse Him, yet He sustains life for them. God wake them up every morning yet they wake up and say, “There is no God” for another day.
So let us say, “Merry Christmas!” with heart full of praise and glory for our Lord Jesus Christ. Remember Jesus is the reason for this season. May we all share this good news of Jesus Christ to our love ones. May those who can’t see God shall see His light and truth. Let them be merry for this very reason, Christmas.
