Christmas Persecution: An End Time Tradition - Bill Wilson

Christians in the United States have experienced some forms of persecution as their celebration of the Savior’s birth has been marred by court challenges of everything from public nativity scenes to Christmas decorations and gift exchanges in public schools. Christians in other countries, however, are suffering persecution in real terms as they enter the Christmas celebration.

Christmas is a time, at least in America, where we celebrate the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ. It is estimated that over 92 percent of Americans will celebrate Christmas in some form or another, even those who do not accept Christ as their Lord and Savior. Most of us will be with family or friends. Most of us will attend some form of church service. Most of us will exchange gifts in the comfort of our homes or someone else’s house. Most of us will break bread with loved ones and, even if it is brief, experience the love and the spirit of the birth of Christ.

Certainly there has been a lot written this year about the war on Christmas. The American Civil Liberties Union and its partners continue to press for their brand of separation of church and state. They file suit against towns for wanting to display nativity scenes. They file suit against schools for wanting to discuss Christmas or have Christmas decorations, sing Christmas songs or even exchange gifts. They have created an atmosphere in the United States where a lot of private businesses are cautious or downright afraid to promote Christmas for fear of some sort of legal retaliation. Christians, offended by this attack, have countered, claiming a form of persecution.
