John Clayton Quotes
Christmas is the antithesis of Thanksgiving. Christmas is pretty much a man-made holiday.
There was no instruction to be thankful that the Christians were special people, chosen people. There was no nationalistic, political or ethnic superiority to be thankful for.
Thanksgiving is a season that is very much in accord with the themes and teachings of Jesus Christ.
Christians were instructed to serve others, and the thanksgiving was for the grace of God and the fact that God offered a way for man to return to a positive relationship with Him.
There is no racial or ethnic involvement in Thanksgiving, and people who may be very distant from the Christian system can see the beauty and the positive spirit that comes from the holiday.
The emphasis on the birth of Christ tends to polarize our pluralistic society and create legal and ethnic belligerence.
