At First United Methodist Church Waco
yesterday, we finished the sermon series that explored
the “Songs of Christmas”. The podcast can be watched by clicking this link: Silent Night Podcast and here
is a video of this song: Silent Nightwith Lyrics.
In listening to the sermon, the song, and reviewing the podcast, below
are some take aways for me.
Jesus was born in a crude stable and placed in a manger on a silent
night but soon loud words would be spoken in His life that would spread to
change the world. His mother was only around 16 years old but she responded by
following God’s will. We all feel like we need to do big things for God but
most of the time it is the modest, silent, and small actions we take that have
the biggest impact. God wants us to simply be His servant by listening to His
directions and following. If we say the words in bold below and believe them,
our life will never be the same.
I AM THE LORD’S
SERVANT; MAY IT BE TO ME AS YOU HAVE SPOKEN
When we do what God has for us, our life speaks for itself and is not
so silent. The birth of Jesus on a silent night was a night that communicates
God’s love for us. It is a night that sets us free; from hurts, worries,
hopelessness, pain, and fear. It is a night that gives all a lift during dark
times. It is a night that corrects the darkness with light through Jesus Christ
and we all become a part of the light that reflects God’s love.
For
an inspirational start to each day, join the journey at
Have a Merry Christmas!
