Question:
Is there anything wrong with celebrating Christmas, Easter, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, etc. in Sunday school? Example: Putting on skits, short plays, saying poems, etc.
Answer:
A verse that may be appropriate with this is Romans 14:5. “One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.” Also verse 21 says: “It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor anything whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak.”
That doesn’t mean that we should stop doing whatever we are clear about in the privacy of our own homes. Others’ convictions should not rule our lives, although it never hurts to inquire into why they have those convictions. I don’t think the Lord would ever want us to be so blockheaded about non-doctrinal issues that we won’t consider other interpretations of Scripture.I’m sure there are various interpretations of Scripture as to whether we should celebrate these things at all. If anyone would like to venture what they are convicted about, that would be great. If not that’s ok too.
