Yesterday, a friend of a muslim told me this story about Christmas. This devout muslim said, that they respected Christmas more than many Christians. They told a story, that they were at a office Christmas party and people were openly disrespecting Jesus Christ and the story of Christmas. The muslim asked 3 times if the Christians would quit because they looked upon Jesus as a great prophet. After the third time they left because in their religion they would not tollerate such mistreatment of the memory of a prophet.
Many times we forget that other religions respect Christmas also. Think of all the wars that have experienced a lull because of christmas. Aren't we happy when another religion decides to slow down its agression because of a holy day that we don't understand. For many Christians it goes way beyond that we find ways to be a blessing to people of all faiths and even those who have no faith. I believe Christmas transends religion. And I believe it happens all over the globe every single year. What are your thoughts?
