While we were celebrating the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, which is at Passover time in the spring, many others were celebrating Earth Day. When we have communion, we are remembering His death and sacrifice on our behalf, until He comes again. Whenever believers gather, we are celebrating His resurrection and victory over sin and death, on our behalf.
While we worship God, the world system, which is against Christ, is busy trying to cleanse our culture of any remaining symbol, influence or cultural event which may remind anyone of God and that the Son of God came in the flesh to redeem sinners.
So for a while our culture recognized that Jesus rose from the dead in the springtime. That has now been eliminated from the public view, and replaced with an alternate holiday: Earth Day. Earth Day was invented several years ago to replace celebrating Jesus. On Earth Day, people are supposed to do things to help “save the earth”. People pledge themselves to being devoted to the Earth. To many, the earth is something to worship.
The ironic thing is, many who see the things that God created like the land, the oceans, fish, trees, flowers, animals, birds and mankind, choose to worship these created things instead of the Creator who made it all. And the Bible teaches that it is actually Jesus Himself, who is the Creator of the earth, as well as it’s King.
“The earth is the Lord’s, and all it contains, the world, and all those who dwell in it.” Ps.24:1.
“Clap your hands all peoples! Shout to God with loud songs of joy! For the Lord Most High, is to be feared, a great King over all the earth.” Ps.47:1.
