This article is
based on the song “Winter Snow” originally written and performed by Chris
Tomlin feat Audrey Assad, as I was asked to sing a song for the Christmas Eve
and Christmas services at my Church.
If you were to
describe the condition of Christmas now days, most people would say rushed,
noisy, stressful, and jam-packed, as just a few of its descriptions. Yet was this beautiful season always
mentioned as so?
Take a look back
into memory lane as the birth of Jesus and the very first true Christmas were
to occur. Was it noisy? Was it stressful? Was it jam-packed with our planners bursting
at the rims? Of course, not, because
that is not what God had in store.
In an elegant
entrance that was quiet, soft, and slow, Jesus made His way into the
world. Yet not elegant as in how we see
the flattery of cheap array today, but in the simple fact that His humbled
birth in a stable came just like a Winter Snow.
It was beautiful and breathtaking, something we could never ask or
imagine. “In a hushed and lowly stable,
to a virgin and simple carpenter”, the Savior of the World was born.
It was
quiet. It was soft. It was slow.
Just like snowflakes falling from the sky in a magnificent Winter Snow.
