Christmas songs tell us this is “the most wonderful time of the year,” a season when we’re supposed to be full of cheer. But what if money is tight, the gifts don’t come, or the people we love aren’t with us? In this message, the angels remind us that when we turn our focus back to God, it truly can be the most wonderful time of the year.
Mary, the mother of Jesus, sang the first Christmas carol ever recorded, and its lyrics will leave you in awe. In her song, she reveals the amazing character of our God: mighty yet merciful, holy yet compassionate, just yet gracious. Through Mary’s voice, we hear the heartbeat of a God who lifts the humble, scatters the proud, and fills the hungry with good things.
