I love the music of Christmas … not just the carols or the modern songs … but the hymns, choruses and songs that tell of the reasons for Christ’s coming.
One of the most precious of all is the simple song, “Jesus Loves Me,” that we have taught our children to sing.
My favorite version is sung by Marshall Hall (link below). I have shared it before, and I never tire of watching the faces of the people in the audience as they listen to the words as they drive deep into their souls just how much God loves them.
Jesus loves me, He will die. Heaven’s gates He’s gonna open wide. And He will wash away all our sins. And let His little child come on in!”
“Yes, Jesus loves me. Yes, Jesus loves me. Yes, Jesus loves me! The Bible tells me so.
For God so loved us … “For God loved the world in this way: He gave His One and Only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.” [John 3:16 HCSB]
Christmas is so deep and yet so simple. God so loved us that He came.
As we stand before the manger this Christmas season, let us remember that.
