What biblical Truth can we learn from this Christmas Carol?
I. The first stanza - Announcement of Jesus' birth.
"Hark! The herald angels sing, Glory to the newborn King; Peace on earth, and mercy mild, God and sinners reconciled."
Luke 2 that says, “There were shepherds living out in the fields nearby keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them and the glory of the Lord shown round about them and they were terrified! But the angel said to them, ‘Don’t be afraid, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today, in the town of David, a savior has been born to you. He is Christ, the Messiah, the Lord! This will be a sign to you; you will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.’”
II. The second stanza - Who Jesus Is.
"Christ by highest heav'n adored; Christ, the everlasting Lord! Late in time behold Him come, offspring of the virgin's womb: Veiled in flesh the Godhead see; Hail, the incarnate deity; Pleased as man with men to dwell, Jesus our Emmanuel."
His deity (Jesus is God)
His incarnation
His virgin birth
The humanity of Jesus
III. The third stanza - What Jesus does for us.
"Hail! heav'n born prince of peace!
Hail! the Sun of Righteousness! Light and life to all He brings, Ris'n with healing in His wings."
Jesus brings light
Jesus brings life
Jesus brings healing
Jesus brings victory over death
