On the first
Christmas Eve, the very first Christmas Eve, the whole world was unaware
of what was magically happening in a barn in
Bethlehem. Joseph and
Mary knew what was happening; angels gathered in countless numbers
praising and rejoicing because of what was happening; Shepherds gathered
to see what was happening; it was the wondrous birth of God’s Son,
Jesus! But that birth was not the point. It was not the climax. Jesus
had not been born to become great and powerful, and take over the world.
The Bethlehem baby, born
in a humble manger, born the Son of Almighty God, had been born… to die!
You and your family are very welcome to come and enjoy a
new Christmas Cantata performance honouring the reason for the birth of
Jesus the Christ!
