Rejoice

Last verse of Good Christian Men Rejoice:

Good Christian men, rejoice, with heart and soul and voice – Now ye need not fear the grave: Peace! Peace! – Jesus Christ was born to save – Calls you one and calls you all – To gain His everlasting hall – Christ was born to save – Christ was born to save!

I’m loving these carols and their lyrics!  Who knew they were so full of truth, besides being so festive to hear?

Christmas time is all about rejoicing, not because our world is prospering, not because we are healthy and strong, not because we have lots of gifts under the tree – but because Jesus conquered death!

We don’t have to fear the grave.

And besides that awesome fact, Christ came to save ALL – that includes you and me!  He didn’t come to save the rich, those who look appealing, or those who have the greatest skills.  He came to save all people from all sin for all eternity.

That’s a huge reason to rejoice – today.
