"Hark the herald angel sing"



Whenever I hear this song I always remember Christmas.  I heard this song just here in BTC during our Sing and Share activity.  The song “Hark the Herald Angels Sing” is all about the coming of Jesus here on earth.  This song tells us that because of the love of God all heavens are rejoicing.
            Aside from its beautiful meaning, this song also reminds me of the love of God that needs to be shared with others.  I was one of the members of a church planting team in Tac-an which was my first exposure to a semi-mission work.  The ministry developed my passion for missions and opened my heart to teaching. It was totally a time of many first experiences; teaching kids, handling Bible study for adults, counseling and mingling with a new group of people.
            Now going back to the message of the song, like Charles, we can retell the story of Jesus’ coming on earth—His extra ordinary birth. The song is expressing pure joy, what a great privilege for us to know the Lord's story.  All of us now know that He brings peace, joy, and hope to everyone.  God and sinners are reconciled through the finished work of Jesus.  This reconciliation is gladness to the world.

            This song always reminds me that Christ came to show the love of the Father to the world.  It was to make known to all and today it’s our responsibility continue to tell His story to others with a grateful heart for what He has done. Glory to Him alone.
