The majority of the country loves to sing carols that say things like, “Joy to the world. The Lord is come,” or, “Hark the herald angels sing ‘Glory to the newborn King!’” The carols are sung as if everyone singing them really understands who Jesus is and what He did for us. Many of them surely don’t.
You have to remember that society tried to explain Him away while He walked the earth. So, downplaying and misunderstanding Jesus is nothing new. Society is trying just as hard today to describe Him as anything from a complete myth to a great teacher, but the world cannot admit that He is God incarnate.
Our job is to keep speaking the truth.
“And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, ‘Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord.’” Luke 2:8-11
He is Christ. He is Savior. He is Lord. He is God.
