Keep Baroque and classical Christmas tunes going. I DISPISE this modern crud... Ech. What warrior wants to listen to “Jing Jangle Bells” by that horrid American hating woman, who can’t understand normal thinking, Babs Streisand? Call me old fashioned, by 500 years....

Yesterday I posted a link for “O Holy Night” by Charlotte Church. Here is the entire Christmas album she sings. It’s called “Dream a Dream.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_MafIkT_HE

Christmas Light

Read: Exodus 3:4–10

I have indeed seen the misery of my people in Egypt. . . . So I have come down to rescue them. Exodus 3:7–8

To my eyes, the Christmas tree looked to be ablaze in fire! Not because of artificial strings of lights but from real fire. Our family was invited to a friend’s altdeutsche Tradition, or the “old German way,” a celebration featuring delicious traditional desserts and a tree with real, lit candles. (For safety, the freshly cut tree was lit one night only.)

As I watched the tree appear to burn, I thought of Moses’ encounter with God in the burning bush. While tending sheep in the wilderness, Moses was surprised by a flaming bush that was somehow not consumed by the flames. As he approached the bush to investigate, God called to him. The message from the burning bush was not one of judgment but of rescue for the people of Israel. God had seen the plight and misery of His people who were enslaved in Egypt and had “come down to rescue them” (Exodus 3:8).

While God rescued the Israelites from the Egyptians, all of humanity still needed rescue—not just from physical suffering but also from the effects that evil and death brought into our world. Hundreds of years later, God responded by sending down the Light, His Son, Jesus (John 1:9–10), sent not “to condemn the world, but to save the world through him” (3:17). — Lisa M. Samra

How can you celebrate God’s provision of rescue through Jesus? What other traditions point you to Him?

Heavenly Father, thank You for sending Jesus, the Light of the world.

For further study, read Mystery of the Manger: Exploring the Whole Story of Christmas.

Bible in a year: Ezekiel 45–46; 1 John 2
