Christmas
No matter who you are or what religious ideology you hold to, the Winter holiday season involving Christmas will be a challenge. It is first a challenge to non-Believers as they are continually presented with the message of the birth of Yeshua the Messiah (Jesus Christ) into a world which is lost in sin. Secondly, the Christmas holiday is a challenging time for many Christian people who seek to remember the birth of the Messiah, but at the same time all too often indulge themselves in overly frivolous gift-giving. And thirdly, the Christmas season is a challenge to a great number of Messianic people, as we largely choose not to celebrate or acknowledge this holiday.
