Today, let’s celebrate Christmas (the birth of Jesus Christ) in July! Set the stage: picture yourself watching the snow fall outside your window while sitting in your livingroom by the crackling fireplace, candles are aglow and you’re drinking a hot cup of coffee and reading God’s Word. In the background, soft music plays as the choir sings “Hallelujah” in celebration of the birth of our Saviour and peace on earth …
Isaiah 7:14 - “Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.” Isaiah 9:6 - “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” Luke 2:11 - “For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.” John 1:14 - “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.” Revelation 19:6 - “And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.”
Ooh, in the winter's chill, let the candles light the night up from the windowsills. Lord, as I draw You near and we whisper all the sweet sounds only we can hear ... on this cold evening, let the world stand still, the church bells ring, silent night as the angels sing, “Hallelujah, Hallelujah!” Ooh, let there be peace on earth; let the lonely join together, let the world know there are brighter days ahead. Glory, glory, I'm so glad to have You here! Alleluia, what a Saviour!
Why was Jesus born? Luke 19:10 - “For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.”
