CHRISTMAS JOY 2022
1 Peter 1:3-10
Earlier I asked you to think about what kinds of things bring you joy.
You may not be surprised that one answer I would give to that question…is music.
Music brings me joy.
Especially Christmas music, which has an ability to lift the spirits of even the most Scrooge-like character.
In my opinion, Christmas music isn’t just background music for a pleasant holiday.
It’s a ministry that can do wonders for the soul.
A couple of years ago I read a news story about this brass band:
(SLIDE—BAND PIC)
This is a Salvation Army brass band from Chicago, Illinois.
Every year one of the highlights of their Christmas season is the trip they take to Cook County Jail.
Where they share Christmas music and Scripture with men who feel as far from Christmas cheer as you can possibly get.
Criminals who face every day the reality of their sin and brokenness.
One of the brass band members said this about the moment when they stop to read the Christmas story from Scripture and begin leading the inmates in “Silent Night.”
