Would we celebrate Christmas if it wasn’t for Easter?

Christmas has always been the biggest holiday of the year for Cambodian Christians. But, our Divisional and District leaders faced a difficult question at their monthly training, “If Jesus was simply born of a virgin in a stable and lived out a life and died on a cross, would we celebrate Christmas?” After a long pause they decided that if it weren’t for the resurrection we wouldn’t even know who Jesus is.

They realized that the same Spirit that gave Him life raised Him from the dead and then came to live in us! Wow! Easter has all of a sudden taken on center stage for our Cambodian Christians. There should be some very interesting reports next month.
