Four Christmas Songs
When God broke centuries of silence, those who recognised His arrival couldn't help but sing. Mary magnified the Lord for seeing her lowliness and sending a merciful King. Zechariah praised God's faithfulness in fulfilling every covenant promise through Jesus, the Light who conquers sin. Simeon held the infant Messiah and sang of peace, knowing this child would live the life we couldn't and die the death we deserved. Each song answers the same question: Why does God deserve our worship? Because He keeps His word, shows unforced mercy, and provides the consolation our souls have been searching for.
In the face of an overwhelming situation, a young woman named Mary breaks into song. Her Magnificat reminds us that worship is the antidote to worry when we trust in a God who is powerful, holy, and merciful.
God has kept His ancient promises. Through Jesus, the long-awaited King from David's line, He conquers sin and death so we can live with Him in holiness and righteousness without fear.
Salvation arrived in a humble family at the temple, bringing peace to those who had waited their whole lives to see God's promise fulfilled.
