2. The Angel’s Song: Luke 2:12-13 (Songs of Christmas)

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.
