ADVENT 2016 | CHRISTMAS SONGS
We were created to SING
The world because of Sin is dark and cold, but God sent is His Son Jesus to be “the light of the world.” Jesus left the comfort of Heaven to enter into this cold harsh world on a mission of redemption. This history hinging event of the incarnation is recorded in the Gospel of Luke; this account includes 4 songs as God’s people proclaim their joy in response to His character and actions. It also reveals the angels singing the royal birth announcement to a group of dirty shepherd on the night shift. As people come into contact with Jesus, even as a baby, they SING.
Through history, this incarnation has caused normal people to leave the comfort of their homes to go into their community to “sing” the Good News of Jesus. As disciples of Jesus we are called to be ambassadors to our communities “singing” light into the dark world we currently dwell in.
Our hope is this that advent is not just a time for you to sing songs that fade into the background, but that it is a time to be shaped through worship. Take the time to learn the song of the incarnation and to practice it so that you can share it with others.
