2003-12-06 - What the Bible Says about Some of Our Christmas Carols

Originally Published 2000-12-17

Even on secular radio stations, many of us are hearing Christmas carols everywhere. Some are a little fanciful, but others are based on Scriptures. Today we will see some of the passages that relate to several of the songs of the season.

Mary, Did You Know?

Luke 1:28-29 (NASB) And coming in, he said to her, "Greetings, favored one! The Lord is with you.'' But she was very perplexed at this statement, and kept pondering what kind of salutation this was.

Of the Father's Love Begotten:

John 3:16 (KJV) For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Angels from The Realms of Glory:

Luke 2:13-14 (NASB) And suddenly there appeared with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, "Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace among men with whom He is pleased.''

Goin' to Bethlehem:

Luke 2:15 (NASB) When the angels had gone away from them into Heaven, the shepherds began saying to one another, "Let us go straight to Bethlehem then, and see this thing that has happened which the Lord has made known to us.''

Once in Royal David's City:

Luke 2:11-12 (NASB) But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all the people; for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord."

Lo, How a Rose Ere Blooming:

Song of Solomon 2:1 (NASB) I am the rose of Sharon, The lily of the valleys.
