The True Meaning Of Christmas
written at Saturday, December 25, 2010
One of my favourite songs, the lyrics, the meaning just soaks deep into you. Here's a link for you guys http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shc8CisVrio
When I am so caught up with many things, like a gigantic turkey or ham, or the happy occasions or gift exchanges. When I forget what the true meaning of Christmas is, this song is a reminder to me. Truly, Christ is the Lord, O praise His name forever.
O holy night, the stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Savior's birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
Til He appeared and the soul felt its worth
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks, a new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees, oh hear the angel voices
O night divine
O night when Christ was born
O night, O holy night, O night divine
Truly He taught us to love one another
His law is love, and His gospel is peace
Chains shall He break for the slave is our brother
And in His name all oppression shall cease
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we
Let all within us praise His holy name
Christ is the Lord, O praise His name forever
His power and glory ever more proclaim
Blessed Christmas everyone. May we all know the true meaning of Christmas.

Knowing
What matters supremely, therefore, is not
in the last analysis, the fact that I know God,
but the larger fact which underlies it --
the fact that He knows me.
J. I. Packer
