Death // Christmas // Mustard Seed

Holy Confessions - Death is not the end - God sustains our souls beyond death.  At death, the souls of those in Christ are His, forever.

FLF - Does the Regulative Principle of Worship forbid any celebration of Christmas?  Puritans thought so, but more becaus of the decadent practices accompanying it in England.  Calvin and others on the continent had no problem with it.  Jesus is found in John 10:22 celebrating Hanukkah, an extra biblical holiday, so Christmas is fine, too.

"Growth of the Kingdom" - the mustard seed shows us that the kingdom grows, not only from small beginnings to something large, but also that as a 'sturdy weed' it can pop up anywhere and multiply.  Tabletalk, Nov 2021, pg 21.
