Christmas is definitely here! Wow, it’s really exciting as we celebrate for the nth time the birth of our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. Was He actually born on December 25? The Bible didn’t mention the actual date but it is certain that Jesus was in Bethlehem.
Here’s a wonderful rendition of the popular Christmas carol, Silent Night, by a young girl with an angelic voice, Jackie Evancho. Whoa, it makes me chill even it’s summer time here in Sydney, Australia.
Christmas songs always put a festive atmosphere for every Christmas holiday season. Just step into a shopping center, or sneak into a Christmas party, or simply in your room with the radio on and you will know what I’m trying to point out here. Christmas songs are not ordinary songs. These are songs expressing the real message of Christmas. We sing about God’s love, about God’s greatest gift, and about God’s message of hope. Christmas songs are songs that are full of faith that cannot be ignored.
Hillsong‘s brand new Christmas Album, Hillsong Born is the King , is one of the Christmas collections that worth listening to. The new song [amazon_link id=”B005W2A2L8″ target=”_blank” ]Born Is The King (It’s Christmas)[/amazon_link], (video shown below) is simply great! What a great tune to listen to. The beat suits a Christmas dance step or simply joining the beat by nodding your head. But the most important part is the wonderful message about the birth of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour. A call for celebration and merriment.
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” – John 3:16 NKJV
For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His government and peace There will be no end….
….and establish it with judgment and justice from that time forward, even forever. (Isaiah 9:6-7 NKJV)
