Holy Days – A Kingdom Catechism

Holy Days

A Kingdom Catechism

Christian holy days are an important part of our worship of God.

Q 79: How do the redeemed of the Lord celebrate seasons of commemoration unto Him?

A 79: The redeemed of the Lord celebrate seasons of commemoration unto Him when, by agreement to the call of their leaders, they unite in special activities to remember the redemption and goodness of the Lord. (Lev. 23:4-6, 14-17; Est. 9:20-32; Acts 20:16, 21:17-26)

It is good for Christians to celebrate the Lord in special ways, for extended periods, during those seasons in which we are, for reasons of history, especially mindful of the work of our Lord. Celebrations for Advent, Easter, Pentecost, and Thanksgiving are especially appropriate, and they offer churches excellent opportunities to refocus their ministries and renew their people. By keeping the focus on the Lord and His work during such times, we may guard against the kinds of distractions which arise in the unbelieving world during these seasons, and reinforce the true message of the Gospel and our common mission in Christ.
