Jesus Himself said, There are those people who are for Him and there are those who are against Him. Those that were against HIm when He was on earth had Him crucified to try and stamp out what He stood for, but he rose from the dead on the third day and that is what Christmas is about..
Those stores who refuse to celebrate the birth, death and resurrection of the risen Savior are doing the same things today those who crucified him 2,000 years ago tried to do. They were trying to stamp out any claims of Him being who He said He was and any memory of His existence. They thought killing HIm would do the trick, but it only caused His teachings to spread around the world.
Are these naughty businesses on this list not attempting to do the same thing today by their refusal to acknowledge the day set aside to honor Him? What those people did 2000 years ago only served to draw those who believed in Him closer together, and that will be the end result of these corporations attempts to remove Him from our memory in this day and time.
So, yes it does make a difference to the Lord whether or not people honor Him by honoring the day set aside to pay tribute to Him. Those who are for Him should boycott these corporate owned stores who are aligning themselves against Him.
These corporations may not realize what they are doing, but they are pushing Christians to come to the realization there are still people in this world and in our country who hate Christ and what He represents. The end result of their labor will only serve to make Christians draw closer together until we become united. Now, that is God's plan!
On our own we are little more than bits of stone and glass. Together we are the Body of Christ. Holy Bible: Mosaic is an invitation to experience Christ in His Word and in the responses of his people. Each week, as you reflect on guided Scripture readings aligned with the church seasons, you will receive a wealth of insight from historical and contemporary writings.
