A New Old Christmas Song
Scripture: She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him
the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins. Matthew
1:21 (NIV)
One morning last week a tune started going through my mind. As you
might imagine, that is not unusual. I love music, so I often wake up in
the morning with a song on my mind and I often go to bed at night with a
song on my mind. This particular morning was different. I woke up with
the tune "Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town" running through my
mind, but the words that came to my mind were not the usual words to the
song. Here are the words that came to my mind.
Wipe away your tears, get rid of your fears;
Here's the best news you've heard in years!
Jesus Christ is coming to town.
He's makin' a list in the Book of Life,
That'll be the end of your trouble and strife!
Jesus Christ is comin' to town.
He loves you when you're sleepin',
He loves you when you're awake;
He loves you when you're bad or good,
But be good for Jesus' sake!
Now put on a smile, get rid of that frown,
Spread the "Good News" all around;
Jesus Christ is comin' to town.
At this time of year, many people are thinking about Santa Claus
coming to town and thinking about all of the great gifts that Santa will
bring them. But the real reason for this season is the celebration of
Jesus Christ's coming into the world -- and He brings us the greatest
gift of all. He brings the gift of God's love. The Bible says, "But
when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, He saved us, not
because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy."
Yes, He loves us when we're bad or good, what a great love that is!
Dear Lord, we thank you for your great love. We thank you that you
showed us that love by sending your son, Jesus, to save us. Amen.
