I love Christmas music, don't you? I especially love the songs about Jesus' birth. The classic carols and hymns are timeless testimonies to the fact "the Word became flesh and dwelt among us." They have endured through the centuries because of their beautiful melodies and profound messages.

One of my favorites is "O Come All Ye Faithful." As I ponder the birth of our Savior each year, planning the messages to preach and the columns to write, I hear the familiar lines in my head: "Come and behold Him! Born the King of angels. Oh come, let us adore Him. Oh come, let us adore Him. Oh, come let us adore Him, Christ the Lord!" That's exactly how I feel as I think about the words I hope to say and write to help us to see Jesus with fresh eyes and adore Him.
