Ephesians 3
A Mystery Revealed
Based on: Ephesians 3:2-12
Do you know what day of the year has the shortest period of daylight and the longest night? It is the day in which the winter solstice occurs. Last year it was December 22nd. In the past, many centuries ago, before certain changes were made to the calendar that we use today, the winter solstice would occur on December 25th. It is possible that Christians started celebrating Christmas on that day to take the place of pagan festivals that celebrated the winter solstice.
God has a Secret
Based On: Ephesians 3:2-12
Imagine going to a place where you did not know the language. Not only did you struggle to understand and be understood, but they did things differently too and you didn't understand why. When someone agreed to meet with you it seemed like they were always late. When people talked to you they stood too close to you and put their hand on your shoulder. You felt very uncomfortable.
