There is a profound theological meaning embedded in many classic Christmas carols. This week Pastor René examines "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing," tracing the song's origins to Charles Wesley's 1737 hymn, which was later adapted by George Whitfield and set to Felix Mendelssohn's melody. The song tells the story of Jesus' birth and the angels' proclamation, and touches on themes of divine peace, reconciliation, and salvation. We need to respond to this gift of salvation, embrace God's love, experience His peace, and share His light with others not just during Christmas, but throughout the year.
