One of the great blessings of Christmas is the beautiful music. Like the Red Sea did for Moses, this time of the year the thundering decibels of secular sound roll back and allow the beautiful, Christ exalting music to be heard.
Pay special heed to the words of the familiar carols this year. They proclaim the birth of the Messiah--the birth of hope.
As I’ve traveled in the neediest places of the world--some far too bad to fix by human means--I’m always aware that everyone reaches for hope.
Hope’s name is Jesus!
Away In A Manger is a favorite of mine. We all know its verses by heart. My wife Jean added a verse to it--maybe it will bless you, too.
The Saviour is coming
Is coming again
But not to a manger
In small Bethlehem.
The sound of a trumpet
Announcement will bring
The coming of Jesus
Our Glorious King.
That Coming Again is indeed the world’s Blessed Hope!
Titus 2:13,14 says, “While we wait for the Blessed Hope--the appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good.” AMEN!
