May people think that Christmas is just about Jesus being born and that is it. Don't get me wrong, the Son of God becoming flesh is huge, it is the greatest miracle of all eternity. However, the true meaning of Christmas is... the Cross, Jesus dying for our sins! The Christian group Go Fish has a song called "It's about the Cross," in which they describe what Christmas is about. It is the song that is in my music player to the left. Here are the lyrics:
It's not just about the manger
Where the baby lay
It's not all about the angels
Who sang for him that day
It's not just about the shepherds
Or the bright and shining star
It's not all about the wisemen
Who travelled from afar
Chorus:
It's about the cross
It's about my sin
It's about how Jesus came to be born once
So that we could be born again
It's about the stone
That was rolled away
So that you and I could have real life someday
It's about the cross
It's about the cross
It's not just about the presents
Underneath the tree
It's not all about the feeling
That the season brings to me
It's not just about coming home
To be with those you love
It's not all about the beauty
In the snow I'm dreaming of
The beginning of the story is wonderful and great
But it's the ending that can save you and that's why we celebrate
It's about the cross
It's about my sin
It's about how Jesus came to be born once
So that we could be born again
It's about God's love
Nailed to a tree
It's about every drop of blood that flowed from Him when it should have been me
It's about the stone
That was rolled away
So that you and I could have real life someday
So that you and I could have real life someday
It's about the cross
It's about the cross
Merry Christmas!

Dude, this is so awesome. I just bought the album, this is exactly he kind of thing I've been searching for. I've been asked by my pastor to preach again on the Sunday after Christmas and this is exactly the topic the Lord put on my heart! This blog has been such a blessing, keep up the great work brother!
Great song.......thanks for sharing this one!
Maybe not the greatest miracle... The incarnation is absolutely mind-blowing, but its purpose - the redemption of the church - that is the greatest miracle of all eternity.
Thanks for sharing that. The song is great.
