It’s that time of year. Christmas season is upon us and that means Christmas music is playing from just about every set of speakers in town.
Even more interesting is that the words of many traditional Christmas hymns are theologically rich.
Perhaps most interesting is that non-Christians, even some of whom are opposed to the Christian message, are listening to (and maybe singing) lines like:
“O come, let us adore Him”
“Let earth receive her King”
“Haste, haste to bring Him laud”
“Peace on earth and mercy mild, God and sinners reconciled”
“Come adore on bended knee Christ the Lord, the newborn King”
I say keep the Christmas music playing and ask God to use it to make the life-changing message clear to non-believers, many of whom are just listening to festive tunes while driving home from work or stopping in the grocery store.
