Mary: A Song of Blessing
Dec 3, 2023 • Pastor Harold Keck
Music is a powerful motivator. By now, you have probably listened to some Christmas music in the stores or at home on Pandora. There are many incredible Christmas songs like Jingle Bells, White Christmas, and Winter Wonderland. But those songs do not capture the true Spirit of Christmas. The real Spirit of Christmas is found in the real songs of the characters of Christmas. It is Mary singing as she celebrates the gift of the Savior in her
womb. It is in the words Zechariah sang after his wife gave birth to their long-awaited son, John. And we hear it, especially in the song the Angels sang as they announced the birth of Jesus to a group of lowly shepherds. This December, let’s listen and learn from the real carols of Christmas.
