On Sunday we nailed it! :)
One of our best concerts so far!
I am very proud of each and every one of our students and leaders
and
happy that we could share the good news of Christmas
and that is
...
the ultimate gift
...
God gave himself to us
nicely wrapped in manger.
Even if people believe in God, they don't think He would care for them
He must be busy with so many other things.
What a mistake!!!
Bible tells us:
"For unto us a child is born,
unto us a son is given."
Even in the Xmas story you find how angels were singing :
Glory to God in the highest
and
peace among men in whom he is well pleased.
...
Why child?
I don't know, it's part of the mystery,
but definitely he knows what it feels like to be human.
Why manger?
It's an evidence that people didn't recognize him even back then.
There was not enough space.
"He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him."
...
I love getting gifts during Christmas.
But if I left them under the tree, I would miss the point.
Also this ultimate gift can stay unwrapped.
- little baby Jesus in manger -
- little baby Jesus as part of tradition -
...
He did everything,
now it's our turn.
"Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name,
he gave right to become children of God."
