God brings glory to Himself by being the power, the authority, and the presence by which all things happen. When God redeems and rescues, He calls the weak and the broken, so He is most glorified. The whole idea of what we celebrate at Christmas was the fulfillment of God’s promises to us. The world is fallen and broken, and we are not simply victims of the messed-up world, we have participated in messing up the world; the scriptures call this sin and rebellion. This is why Jesus came, to rescue us as we could never rescue ourselves.
There are many Christmas songs that involve reindeer, heat misers, presents, silver bells, and elves, but almost no one sings the actual songs that were sung around the birth of Jesus. In the Bible there are 4 (or 5) songs at the birth of Jesus. Technically there are 4 with the 5th being alluded to, but we wanted to look at the songs we don’t know the tune to, to get a better picture of how the Christmas would have been perceived.
