say it – sing it – live it

Although few exist, you can still find public businesses who actually wish you a Merry Christmas and play Christmas carols.  I found such a place yesterday in Geneva, Illinois  … so I listened carefully to the lyrics while I waited in line.

Here is a snap shot of what I heard – - -

“Glooooooooooooooooooria in excelsis deo” …. means “glory to GOD in the highest“.

“Oh Come Oh Come Immanuel” …  “Immanuel” means “GOD with us“.

“Worship Christ the new-born King” … “Christ” means “anointed one“.

“Christ the Savior is born” … “Savior” means “one who saves or delivers“.

“Merry Christmas” is a nice greeting … but do folks really know how to have one … do I ?

In order to bring glory to GOD in the highest we must grasp the truth that GOD became one of us when HE sent His Son …  the anointed one … to save and deliver us from our sins.

What a gift we have in JESUS.

“… but the gift of GOD is eternal life in Christ Jesus our LORD. Romans 6:23
