Christmas Music

​​​

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

 

 

By now, you have probably enjoyed some Christmas music!  By now, you probably have heard it in the stores, in the mall, maybe in your home, in your car, probably on the radio.  Hopefully, the Christmas music you enjoy includes God’s beautiful music of Christmas, songs that portray the coming of Jesus Christ.

 

This week and next, I encourage you to share the music of Christmas with a friend.  Include the music of the Gospel, too, so that friend can renew a zeal for the real reason for the season.  Or, in the case of an un-saved or un-churched friend, perhaps you can introduce them to Jesus!  Remember, God’s Christmas gift to us all is free; it’s the gift of His only Son.  Let’s continue a review.

 

For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

 

“He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.  And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.  For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed.  But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.” -  John 3:17-21

Then there arose a dispute between some of John’s disciples and the Jews about purification.  And they came to John and said to him, “Rabbi, He who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you have testified—behold, He is baptizing, and all are coming to Him!”

 

John answered and said, “A man can receive nothing unless it has been given to him from heaven. You yourselves bear me witness, that I said, ‘I am not the Christ,’ but, ‘I have been sent before Him.’ He who has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice. Therefore, this joy of mine is fulfilled.  He must increase, but I must decrease.  He who comes from above is above all; he who is of the earth is earthly and speaks of the earth. He who comes from heaven is above all.  And what He has seen and heard, that He testifies; and no one receives His testimony.  He who has received His testimony has certified that God is true.  For He whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God does not give the Spirit by measure.  The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into His hand.  He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.”  -  John 3:25-36

 

John summarized what Jesus introduced to Nicodemus one night – that man must be born again. This greatest gift at Christmas is free to all who will simply ask for it.  Here at WBNH, we hope that you can share the gift of the gospel through the music we will share starting this Friday.  The Beautiful Music of Christmas will be shared 24 hours a day from this Friday through Christmas Day. Tell your unsaved friends to tune in; perhaps they’ll hear the message of the Gospel in a friendly, non-confrontational way.  And who knows?  God works wonders and miracles in people every day. Maybe His music will help bring a soul to Jesus Christ.

 

Now, that would be a great Christmas present!....the greatest Gift of all.
