Advent Day 1 - Singing

The angels sang because the everlasting Father had come to extend arms of redeeming grace to all who would give their hearts to him.

For further study:  Luke 2:13 - 14; Revelation 5:8 - 11

For parents and children:

Ask your children what their favorite song is, ask them why they think people sing, read Luke 2:13 - 14 to them, and talk about why the angels sang at the birth of Jesus.

"God would act decisively, and his actions would be what he had planned in the beginning, but they would be a stunning surprise to every mere mortal.  His response would not be condemnation and judgment.  His response would not be a meting out of justice.  Rather, his response would be
intervention and rescue.  He would do in grace what the law could never do.  He would do in grace what we could never do for ourselves.  He would do what philosophers could never conceive, what leaders could never strategize, and what poets could never imagine.  He would offer the only thing that would ever address the need and solve the problem.  He, himself, would become the greatest, most costly, most transformational gift ever." 

"The angels sang because finally hope had come.  Don't you want to join them?" 

For the month of December, there will be daily posts based on Paul Tripp's Advent book Come Let Us Adore Him.
