Christmas

My heart is full with the spirit of Christmas all around!

It excites me that all over the world, whether people realize, accept, or acknowledge it, the truth is, the birth of JESUS, the Savior, is being proclaimed! Christmas carols sung worldwide on radios and in the mall and even on TV commercials tell the story of Emmanuel, God with us! I pray that even one person would have their heart enlightened to the true meaning of the Christmas celebration this year--That God became flesh to dwell with us, putting off his deity in exchange for human flesh with one purpose-- to take the wages of our sins (death) onto himself that we may be reconciled to God the Father through Him. His birth means our rescue. There is no greater gift.

So, REJOICE!!

And MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!


O come, all ye faithful,
Joyful and triumphant,
O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem;
Come and behold Him,
Born the King of angels;
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord.

Yea, Lord, we greet thee,
Born this happy morning;
Jesus, to Thee be glory given;
Word of the Father,
Now in flesh appearing

O come let us adore Him for He alone is worthy!

This video is an artistic take on how the story of the nativity might have read had a social network existed at the time of Jesus's birth. Follow this historical period as it unfolds as a digital narrative. This vignette is great for highlighting the truths and circumstances of our Savior's birth in a fresh, unique way. ENJOY! :)

I am always overwhelmed at this time of year, too. Any other month, and there's NO WAY you'd find clearly Christian music playing in every public forum ... but December? His name and wonder being proclaimed IN EXPLICIT DETAIL over, and over, and over, and over ... in nearly every public venue! AMAZING!

And I just HAVE to believe that, like you said, whether or not they realize/accept/acknowledge it, they are hearing the Truth. Perhaps only subconsciously in most cases, that Truth is being absorbed by the masses each and every Christmas.

Totally amazing.
