Long lay the world...

Do you love Christmas music ~ or do you get sick of it after a while? I'm one of those that could listen to it all year round. I loooove Christmas music.. and my all-time FAVORITE Christmas song is O Holy Night.

Let this sink in today:

Long lay the world, in sin and error pining
TIL HE APPEARED, and the soul felt its worth!


Compare these lyrics with Galatians 4:4-5

But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the Law, so that He might redeem those who were under the Law, that we might receive the adoption as sons.

Can you relate to this on a personal level? I sure can! Along with the whole world, I have personally been corrupted by sin, wallowing in my own grievous errors.. and PINING for someone to rescue me.

Then that SOMEONE appeared!! "When the fullness of the time came", Jesus Christ appeared.. and my soul felt its worth. My worth comes from HIM. He redeemed me; He adopted me; He made me HIS DAUGHTER! Has your soul felt the worth given to you by Jesus Christ? He came to rescue you; to redeem you; to make you HIS DAUGHTER.

Fall on your knees... worship the King. Emmanuel: God with us.

NOTHING and NO ONE compares with our Jesus.

Merry CHRISTmas!!
