The First Songs Of Christmas: A 31-Day Advent Devotional: Meditations On Luke 1 & 2

Let the original songs of Christmas turn your heart toward God's glory. Most of the popular songs that we hear around Christmas focus on our personal experience of Jesus. But the songs in the Bible are different: they put the focus on God. They speak less to what Christmas does for us and more to what Christmas reveals about the greatness, glory, and goodness of our God. Instead of quaint imagery and feel-good lyrics, the songs of the Bible unfold God's redemptive plan for the world and His eternal purpose for the ages. In The First Songs of Christmas, Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth offers beautiful meditations drawn from the first two chapters of Luke's gospel. This 31-day Advent devotional looks at the songs of Elizabeth, Mary, Zechariah, the angels, and Simeon. Each day revolves around a single line from one of the songs recorded for us in God's holy Word. The true meaning of Christmas can often get lost in the busyness and commercialism that surrounds this season. Let these meditative reflections on ancient hymns lead you instead to contemplate Christmas the way it was meant to be.
