Luke 1.46-55
The holiday season has a very particular set of songs and melodies, and they range from some of the richest theology to some of the most banal sentimentalities. One minute we're singing "born that men no more may die," and the next minute we're singing "I saw mommy kissing Santa Clause." Huh? Mary, the mother of Jesus, wrote the first ever Christmas song, and in it she declares how her soul was set ablaze by the message of Christmas. As we look at her song, we'll see how the Christmas message ought to lead us all to lasting joy.
