CHRISTMAS EVE 2022
CHRISTMAS MUSIC IS WONDERFUL
NO OTHER MUSIC SOUNDS LIKE CHRISTMAS MUSIC
I TRULY BELIEVE GOD DESIGNED IT THAT WAY
GOD DESIGNED THERE TO BE ONE TRUE CHRISTMAS GIFT
JUST AS SOME OF THOSE SONGS SAY
SUCH AS O HOLY NIGHT
Oh holy night, the stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Savior's birth
Long lay the world in sin and error, pining
'Till he appeared and the soul felt its worth
A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn
OR THE SONG DO YOU HEAR WHAT I HEAR
Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy
Do you hear what I hear?
Now, said the shepherd boy to the mighty king
Do you know what I know?
Said the king to the people everywhere
Listen to what I say.
A child, what a child
Sleeping in the night
He will bring us goodness and light
He will bring us goodness and light
ON AND ON THESE MANY OTHER SONGS HAVE A COMMON MESSAGE
THEY REVEAL THE HEARTS OF PEOPLE BEING CHANGED
MANY OF THE GREAT CHRISTMAS MOVIES CARRY A COMMON THEME “HEARTS OF PEOPLE BEING CHANGED”
ONLY THIS CHILD / THAT NIGHT / GOD’S GIFT TO A DYING WORLD HAS BEEN CHANGING PEOPLE
THIS CHILD THIS JESUS THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN CHANGE PEOPLE FROM THE INSIDE OUT
JUST AS THESE SONGS / THESE MOVIES / THE REAL LIFE EXPERIENCES OF PEOPLE KEEP REMINDING US OF HEARTS BEING CHANGED BY GOD’S LOVE THROUGH JESUS
THAT NIGHT OF HIS BIRTH REVEALED A DIVINE POWER FROM HEAVEN
THAT DIVINE POWER WAS THEN AND STILL TODAY IS CALLED “BEING HUMBLED”
HUMILITY - ITS WHAT GOD USES TO CHANGE PEOPLE
HUMILITY IS A STATE OF BEING LOWERED IN STATUS OR RANK
IT’S THE OPPOSITE OF IMPORTANCE OR WEALTH
IT IS THE OPPOSITE OF PRIDE AND ARROGANCE
THE WORD HUMBLE IN THE BIBLE IMPLIES THE OBJECT IS NOW DEFEATED AND IS IN NEED
IN THE BASIC SENSE IT MEANS TO BEND LOW TO THE GROUND
THE STORY OF THE MAGI FROM MATTHEW CHAPTER 2 IS SO SIGNIFICANT
THESE MEN WERE GENTILES, THEY WERE FROM THE EAST AND PAGANS, MORE THAN LIKELY ASTROLOGERS, THEY WERE WEALTHY, THEY WERE SCHOLARS - SCIENTIST IN THEIR OWN RIGHT
SOME KEY POINTS FOR US TONIGHT 1) THESE MAGI (GENTILES) HEARD OR READ ABOUT THIS COMING KING 2) THESE MAGI (GENTILES) SEARCHED FOR THIS KING 3) THESE MAGI WERE HUMBLED / THEY BOWED, WORSHIPED AND GAVE GIFTS TO THE KING
THE EARTHLY KING HEROD WANTED TO KILL THE KING / THE JEWISH PRIEST WERE ONLY 6 MILES AWAY AND IGNORED THE KING
WHERE IS OUR HEART TONIGHT IN REMEMBERING THIS GREAT MIRACLE TO THE WORLD?
DO WE DESIRE TO HEAR AND READ ABOUT HIS NEW BORN KING, DO WE SEARCH FOR HIM, DO WE ALLOW OURSELVES TO HUMBLED AND CHANGED BY HIM?
LET US ASK OUR HEARTS THESE QUESTIONS AS WE NOW PREPARE FOR COMMUNION
PRAYER
COMMUNION
