Devotional 12.25.24

Dear Faith Family, 

 

She will bear a son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins, (Matthew 1:21). 

 

On a hill far away stood an old Christmas tree 
an emblem for all to see 
And I see that old tree where the dearest and best 
For a world of lost sinners was slain 

 

Oh that old Christmas tree, so disguised by the world 
Has a curious attraction for me 
For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above 
to bear it not in vain 

 

In the old Christmas tree now adorned with His blood 

A wondrous beauty I see 

For twas on that old tree Jesus suffered and died 

My sin on Him had been lain 

 

Round the old Christmas tree His bride we shall be 
It's shame and reproach gladly bear 
Then he'll call us some day to our home far away 
Where his glory forever will reign 
 

I’ll rejoice at the old Christmas tree 
Till my trophies at last I lay down 
I will cling to the Christ off the cross 
And exalt the One bearing the crown 

 

Merry Christmas, 

Pastor Karl
